Iltaqa’ mal-Ambaxxaturi tagħna

I am a graduate student in France, currently studying in an Erasmus Mundus joint master degree program on decentralised smart energy systems at the University of Lorraine. My work is to build a better future for Europe and contribute to sustainability. Therefore, I plan to implement even more projects and be a part of the process of raising awareness about climate change in Europe and its neighboring countries within my mandate as a Young European Pact Ambassador. Within this excellent program of the EU Climate Pact, I will be able to more effectively raise awareness and reach more people to share information regarding sustainability, green deals, climate-related issues, and energy security in the EU and accession countries. As I obtained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience while studying in Poland as an Erasmus+ exchange student at the Rzeszów University of Technology, I plan to initiate excellent projects within the EU Climate Pact and also help other people get involved.

"Long-term and future thinking starts with inviting the perspectives of absent stakeholders, non-humans and future-generations to the conversation and including their interests in the decisions we take."

As an Ambassador of the EU Climate Pact I will bring knowledge and information on the progress of the Climate Pact to an increasing movement of Employee Climate Activists who seek to influence the conversation in their companies and want to know what they can demand from the companies they work for. The Undercover Activist is a learning Hub I co-founded with Tessa Wernink and we intend to train more and more employees in Positive Workplace Activism. Also we are bringing together organisations that have the same aims and objectives around employee activism. Up-to-date information on the EU Climate policies and laws helps us to empower employee activists in their internal demands, improve their projects and to stand next to them because they want to be part of the solution and not of the problem.

I am an energy policy and geopolitical risk advisor and researcher, currently working at CERTH Greece and as a PhD candidate at the University of York. I am also the founder of the Decentralized Solutions Global Network and a policy lead at YES-Europe, working with youth and local policy-makers to raise awareness on how they can convert their local communities into climate action champions.

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to maximise the undertsanding of each individual stakeholder on how they can harness existing policies to reduce their environmental footprint and how they can start the dialogue to revise any policy framework that is inhibiting that action.

But most importantly, I aim at empowering local communities in my region, helping them understand that the power is within their hands to change the narrative and take action that really mitigates the adverse effects of climate change. It is the time to stop contemplating on the damage done so far, and think of the future!

My name is Annie and I am a passionate planet-lover, film addict and climate advocate. I work as an environmental consultant at a Film Academy in Prague and a research assistant at an Environmental Psychology think-tank. I am also a programmer at a documentary film festival that aims to popularise science. Through my work and other activities (e.g., various workshops, screenings, publications and research) I hope to help build spaces for curiosity and mutual understanding in the context of the changing climate as well as support others with the tools, strategies and active hope to participate in the fight for a more just and sustainable future.

As a strategic communication for social impact projects for over 10 years I think that awareness is one of the most important step in the transition to a sustainable society. The way in which we communicate with the general public the topics related to sustainable development can ensure its success and can mobilize the involvement of people in all the stages that will be needed towards a better world.

I am committed to raise awareness on sustainable and social issues and to help progress in the implementation of the Sustainable Goals with a focus on the ecological crisis and social justice. I personally collaborate to research projects that address these topics and I volunteer at the community level to build sustainable awareness and responsibility in particular in the community of the European school in Luxembourg.

This year, I will continue to learn with my students about how to think about the future, in order to meet the major challenges we face in the fight against climate change. Shared knowledge will give us the tools to deal with uncertainty, eco-anxiety, the speed at which changes in society and the international order are occurring, and to come up with responses to the global crisis of climate change. To achieve these results, I commit myself as a person and as a teacher to continue studying and learning from what science, technology, experience and our society teach us in order to reverse climate change and achieve a sustainable model of life in peace with nature.

Il nostro pianeta è bellissimo e unico e come tale va preservato, è fondamentale rendersi conto di quanto le nostre abitudini e i nostri stili di vita siano diventati insostenibili. L'obiettivo che mi pongo è quello di parlare ad associazioni e scuole per poter dare una corretta informazione su quali sono i rischi a cui andiamo incontro e allo stesso tempo esporre utili esempi pratici su quello come possiamo fare dal basso per ridurre le nostre emissioni.

Former Research Director of the National Research Council (CNR), Head of the Secondary Section and Senior Associate Researcher at the Water Research Institute (IRSA-CNR) of Brugherio (MB), for around 40 years he has been involved in studies on the climate of glacial areas and high and low altitude alpine lakes, of circulation of pollutants in lakes and rivers and for about thirty years of acid rain. From 1989 to 2015 he participated in the construction and management of networks of meteorological monitoring stations in the Himalayas and Karakorum and for over two decades he has dedicated himself to the creation of databases of river and lake water bodies. Since December 2020 he has been Ambassador of the European Climate Pact, and was recently the founder of the EuCliPa.IT APS Association, of which he is currently the secretary. He is the author of over 190 publications, 100 of which in international journals, and conducts editorial review of scientific articles.

As an Ambassador of EU Green Deal, I am focusing on policies adapted to small urban areas. Specifically, I will dedicate my work to assessing carbon sinks, protecting forests and their biodiversity, promoting mountain communities and developing remote areas. Also, sustainable mobility, clean energy generation and awareness raising are amongst my immediate interests.

I regularly post information, share educational platforms and engage with other like minded people to generate awareness. Last year, I had a son and I realised that I want him to be able to enjoy a healthy, inclusive planet that has equal opportunities for all. I want to engage companies and individuals on creating a better future together.

As an Ambassador, I am deeply committed to catalysing and pollinating impactful change in the fight against fossil fueled climate change. My mission is to set an inspiring example by transitioning my historic-designated home to solar energy, doubling my fossil-fuel-free kilometers through cargo biking, advocating for community solar and improved cycling infrastructure in Luxembourg, and supporting sustainable agriculture. I aim to promote sustainable practices, policy advocacy, and community engagement to create a greener, more resilient future for all. Together, we can tackle the pressing climate challenges of our time.

We need to all understand the issues that humanity is facing climate-wise as well as the actions that are required in order to respect the global mitigation goal established during COP21: not exceeding +2ºC vs pre-industrial era. The transition towards a sustainable world will be possible only if it is just, that is to say if all social categories of the population are included in the transition. Ateliere Fara Frontiere’s activities are offering solutions with its circular and social activities, and my objective is to raise awareness to the highest number about our solutions on how individuals and companies can reduce their carbon footprint and have more sustainable behaviors. 

People, Planet, Prosperity and Purpose. The year is 2021. As humanity we've created a situation where none of these quadruple bottom-line impacts are addressed holistically, across either the environmental or social dimensions. The only way to counteract this trend is through positive community action and education. We need a global mindset for these global problems, that our generation now must address. Happy to share my knowledge and support those wanting to make a positive impact.

I am a professional footballer for Genoa C.F.C. and the Norwegian National Team. I'm also the creator and founder of We Play Green (2020), a player movement made to speed up the Green Shift.

The Green Shift is possible and urgently needed, but it is short on public support. I firmly believe that football can help save the planet and mankind since it is the world's largest social phenomenon, and football players are the world's most influential people.

Therefore, with my organisation, I aim to create a movement that mobilises the 5 billion-strong football family, from grassroots to players, clubs to communities, businesses to institutions, and decision-makers. Together, we can be on the winning side of the most important game on the planet - making the Green Shift happen.

I am a French-Spanish sustainability consultant and RSE leader. As an Ambassador, my planned activities revolve around engaging with a young audience through social media posts, presentations, and the creation of a MOOC, with a specific focus on raising awareness about the impact of dietary choices on climate change. My aim is to inspire and educate the next generation to make more sustainable dietary decisions, ultimately contributing to a greener and more environmentally responsible future.

I am co-founder of Safe Playgroinds Association. My aim is to help provide a better environment for play and sport. I additionally with to promote outdoor learning, active citizenship and to motivate human connections with the nature. I am planning to participate in family events and to show how to turn waste into value through games and interactive activities. I believe that environmental education should start from a very early age and it is our own responsibility to educate conscious and active people. I am taking part in many schools projects, raising students awareness about recycling, climate protection and biodiversity.

Together with my colleagues from the Association we will organise a few of our own events/ initiatives to clean the area around us, grow plants and involve people in sports activities, placemaking. I will use my own and the Association's media channels to spread focused information related to climate change and environmental protection.

Researcher in coal transitions network and in The DCN Southeast Europe Hub. Effective communication and informed policy-making have never been more crucial in the action on the climate crisis. As an European Climate Pact Ambassador my aim is to develop a network of all the interested stakeholders to transfer the knowledge of the European Green Deal  and increase the capacities for people’s better green well-being through the exchange of best environmental practices/policies.
