Ontmoet onze ambassadeurs

As a Climate Ambassador, I will promote our Green Deal goals locally and regionally working together with national as well as European levels. My aim is to increase dialogue with local authorities and citizens of my home city and region on how to best put our climate and environmental policy commitments into practice. Tampere has already taken many important steps towards circular economy and carbon neutrality, but more can be done. Good local practices can be linked better to European goals.

Climate action is dependent upon education. I have been active in the field of non-formal education for 23 years,  and have iniated and coordinated a wide range of activities aiming at raising awareness and comprehension on how people can effect change. The young generation must be taught the significance of conservation, the value of a sustainable future, and the need to make responsible decisions. Environmental education must be promoted in our institutions, workplaces, and communities.

As a climate ambassador, I call upon governments, industries, and individuals to take concrete actions. In every aspect of our existence, we must transition to pure and renewable energy sources, reduce our carbon footprint, and adopt sustainable practices.

We are at a historical crossroads. Today's choices will shape tomorrow's world. Let us be remembered as the generation that acted and worked together for the greater good.

From the bustling streets of Paris and London to the dynamic landscapes of Dubai, I have been an advocate for climate action, particularly within the sphere of the automobile industry's energy transition. My passion for the planet and sustainable design began early on, leading me to pursue studies in architecture at University of Westminster. During my academic pursuits, I did not confine my vision to blueprints and building models. Instead, I ventured into the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicles. Collaborating with innovative teams in the Middle East, I played a pivotal role as a designer in the development of electric charger points for EVs. These designs were not just functional; they embodied a vision of a future where clean energy and urban aesthetics converge. While my roots are firmly planted in architectural design, my heart beats for a world that transitions to cleaner, sustainable energy options. 

I am a person who has a vision to change how companies market themselves. I believe in de-growth marketing and sustainable communication tools, which are strategies that aim to reduce the environmental and social impact of marketing activities. I want to help businesses create value for their customers and society, without relying on excessive consumption or exploitation.

I am a strong-willed advocate for the environment, a planet and people person. As European Climate Pact Ambassador, my challenge is to make people understand that, together, we can make a difference and protect our future. Raising awareness of climate change, impacts and solutions, through school workshops, conferences and gatherings with sustainability-focused companies, will be one of my top priorities.

I am the dreamer of the Bird-Human cooperation system. I have been living and working in nature for more than a decade, so I was able to experience first-hand how much has changed around us in just a few years. And this change warns of many things - we must all hear its alarm bells. As an ambassador, my aim is to open the door of nature and to introduce as many people as possible to the dangers, big questions and proposed solutions of the roads ahead of us. I would like to introduce my followers to the world of the livable future, in which we not only discover the beauties of the world around us, but also do everything to ensure that these treasures remain with us for a long time. Whether it is nature, biodiversity, sustainable production, green solutions, responsible consumption or a change of attitude - I will be there to help!

I am dedicated to fostering sustainable business and engaging young professionals in the green economy.

In Liepāja city I have worked with environmental and climate issues already for years. Liepāja city has joined the Covenant of Mayors in 2012 and I am acting as the Committee of Regions' Covenant of Mayors Ambassador. The first thing we did to fight climate change was to improve the heat supply system. We are working for the residents to have convenient public transport and safe movement with bicycles. As the Ambassador I would like to reach out more to local inhabitants schools on the topics of environment.

I'm a facilitator of "Climate fresk", a non formal education tool for kids, youth and adults to understand climate change through the game based on IPCC reports. I really believe in this tool and non formal education of topics such as climate crises. My educational background on ecology and work in NGO with this topic everyday help me to enjoy this journey. My planned activities as an Ambassador is to continue education on climate change and combine it with social events such as clothes swaps.

Environmental issues have been always the most important to me. Since 2010, I have been active in several national and international green NGOs. As an agricultural engineer I worked in the field of edible insects to provide a sustainable animal protein. Since 2022 I am responsible for the development of the blue and green infrastructure of my village, Pilisborosjenő. 

I connect society, organisations, companies, experts and politicians for collaborative climate action with offline and online events. On my social media profiles I inspire, educate and engage with my followers for action.

As a former ERASMUS student in Paris and Vienna, it is my goal to educate about European achievements and encourage people to vote for climate action during the EU elections 2024.
