Ontmoet onze ambassadeurs

A significant part of my work focuses on environmental awareness and education in schools and vulnerable communities. I believe young people drive change for a sustainable future, and I teach them how to adopt eco-friendly habits in a practical, engaging way. My “learning by doing” approach prioritizes hands-on experience, as I find it the most impactful way to inspire participants to apply what they learn and witness the results of their actions.

I am an environmental engineer, specialised in the calculation of carbon footprints and the implementation of action plans. I wish to contribute to helping the European Union achieve its 2050 carbon neutrality target. This involves me volunteering in associations to increase awareness and sensitivity to climate issues; educating citizens on responsible actions they can take; and continuing to support companies to control their greenhouse gas emissions. I  also support and participate in the reforestation projects.

I am a scientist, official and coordinator of LIFE projects (the LIFE EKOMALOPOLSKA Integrated Project and LIFE DREAM CITIES). As an Ambassador of the European Climate Pact, I intend to contribute to the development of a Regional Action Plan on climate change with the aim of achieving the climate goals by 2030. Through conferences, workshops, debates and hands-on activities, I intend to bridge the knowledge gap on climate change at the regional and local level.

I am a meteorologist and an expert on climate policies and communication. I have learned that people can only commit when they feel the direct impact on their lives. I have witnessed an increase in awareness of the urgency and magnitude of the crisis. However, although we have mastered the 1st lesson about the energy transition, we still do not connect the effects of our other daily activities with climate change. Simple but systematic education and constant professional informing are necessary.

I am a Councillor in the City of Cork. My city is currently involved in the Horizon Mission of Climate Neutrality and Smart City. I am very interested in behavourial change active and to make sure there is community involvement and that as many stakeholders are involved.

I have dedicated several years to advancing sustainable education, working to empower communities with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement environmentally responsible practices. My work has primarily focused on integrating sustainability into educational curricula, ensuring that future generations understand the importance of sustainable development. I have collaborated with schools and government to develop programmes that teach children/ adults about sustainability.

I am a data scientist dedicated to solve climate change, currently helping with built environment decarbonisation. I dedicate my work and academic journey to climate change and I want to continue this journey. I plan to raise awareness about scientific findings through blogs and explainers. I plan to work with local experts in areas of natural protection and environmental science to raise awareness and bring citizen engagement in projects related to nature conservation and sustainability. 

My commitment to the environment and sustainable development is preceded by my 20 years of public service. Climate change is a challenge that requires a global response acting from the local level under the principle of sub-division of the EU. Being an ambassador is an honor that allows us to create networks of committed people and create synergies in which we address different actions in favor of the environment and the climate.

Mi compromiso con el medio ambiente y el desarrollo sostenible viene precedido de mis 20 años de servicio público. El cambio climático es un reto que necesita de una respuesta global actuando desde lo local bajo el principio de subisdiariedad de la UE. Ser embajador es un honor que nos permite crear redes de personas comprometidas y crear sinergias en las que abordamos diferentes acciones en favor del medio ambiente y el clima.

The Free State of Saxony has a long tradition as an energy region with two lignite mining regions, the Lausitz region and the Central German region. By discontinuing lignite power generation by the end of 2038 at the latest, the region is making a major contribution to European climate targets. At the same time, there are energy-related and socio-economic challenges that are faced with great innovation and development potential. I would like to talk about this as an ambassador.

Strategic leader and sustainability innovator with 15+ years of experience. I drive circular business models, decarbonization and biodiversity protection. I co-founded EYCarbon, advancing ESG and green transformation across Europe. Currently, as Founder and Managing Director of Nature Credits UG, we partner forest owners to design, implement, and certify local-for-local nature credits. I build bridges between policy, business, and science to advance Europe’s green and nature-positive transition.

With a background in ecology and a passion for people, I believe climate innovation begins with collaboration. As an EIT Community Officer and founder of GrantHub, I connect research, startups, and communities to turn ideas into real solutions. As an Ambassador, I aim to amplify voices driving change through dialogue, workshops, and storytelling.

I am Camilla, an Italian professional in EU and global policy and a G20 Youth Delegate for the European Union focused on Climate Change and Sustainable Development. With experience across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S., I am dedicated to climate action and environmental education. As a member of the Mediterranean Youth Council and a Climate Reality Leader, I aim to inspire climate awareness and foster collaboration at local, national, and international levels as a Climate Pact Ambassador.

My mission is to advocate the role of libraries as models and leaders of sustainability inside of their own communities and to promote the ecoliteracy as a standard library service. For this mission, I participate in professional conferences with contacts in these fields. My main motivation is taking care of unique our Earth. In addition to participating in conferences, my activities include the promotion of actions as creating gardens in libraries, seed libraries, repair cafés.

I have linked national security to sustainability. As co-founder of the Irish Maritime and Energy Resource Cluster (IMERC),I promoted collaboration across industry, research, and state agencies. With a PhD in Political Science and a MCOM in Public Policy, my expertise bridges ecosystem governance, climate change, renewable energy, and security. I chair the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority (MARA) & Sage Advocacy Boards and am an Adjunct Professor of Law at University College Cork.

I am a human rights activist and lawyer, whose main focus is environmental law and sustainability. One of my core interests is the environmental damage caused by Russian warfare in Ukraine, including the increased amount of greenhouse gas emissions. I am dedicated to informing Latvian society on this as well as other issues regarding the climate crisis and environmental collapse and am not afraid to actively take part in protests as well. 

My goal as an educator is to empower young people with the skills to address environmental challenges, fostering proactive climate leaders. As a board member of the NGO YCL, I advance climate justice through education and youth leadership and as a researcher, I focus on climate adaptation, particularly for vulnerable groups. To adress that, I aim as an ambassador, to amplify European youth voices, inspiring them to combat climate change and foster meaningful climate action in their communities.

Climate change is an urgent issue we must tackle with pragmatism and political vision. As local administrator, I have worked to promote and launch pilot initiatives on circular economy that have then become grounded projects on recycle and reuse practices. Drawing lessons from this successful experience, today I still work on initiatives aimed at cutting air pollution, promoting a more environmental-friendly way of living and consuming, as well as EU-funded projects on sustainable local mobility
