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. 

As an Ambassador, I am committed to promoting sustainable practices and innovative solutions in project management. My planned activities include leading community initiatives to reduce carbon footprints by organizing workshops on ISO standards, such as ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 50001 for energy efficiency. By raising awareness and educating the community on these standards, I aim to inspire positive environmental change and foster a more sustainable future.

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.

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I will work everyday to advance the goal of a sustainable future. My work will focus on increasing public education regarding the climate transition through analysis, outreach and engagement. Through my organization (Global Challenge) I will continuously advocate for the inclusion of the broad public on these matters, in order to ensure a just climate transition. My aim is to continue to bridge the gap between research and action.

As the Founder of the Grant Compass Platform and Head of Advocacy at the World Disaster Center, I bring together hands-on experience and a passion for systemic change. Having facilitated climate workshops in six countries and cycled 6,000 km to raise climate awareness, my focus is now on democratizing access to climate action and building resilience. I work to ensure that funding and climate resilience tools reach all communities, regardless of their location or capacity.

I am one of the co-founders and member of the Implementation Team of Women in Energy – Mulheres na Energia Portugal, and a member of the UNDP External Advisory Group for Energy Governance. Since March 2023, I have been a member of the World Energy Council's Global Future Energy Leaders Programme.

A lawyer by trade, I am currently Vice-Chair of the Distribution Committee at Eurogas and EU Affairs Manager at Floene Energias S.A. (Floene), the leading gas distribution group in Portugal.  In June 2023 I was invited to be one of the 30 European Young Energy Ambassadors as a representative of Portugal. I am part of several initiatives and associations and in my activity as ambassador, I will continue sharing information and raising awareness about the European Green Deal, energy transition, and paths to achieve climate neutrality. 

I will organise the implementation of IT and digital tools in order to communicate on new developments and issues related to environmental issues. I will be responsible for organising face-to-face events intended to promote greentech companies to an uninformed public.

I am a project manager in the field of EU-funded projects targeting sustainability and climate change mitigation. I also pursue a Ph.D. in sustainability and resilience along the food supply chain. I strongly believe that everyone's impact counts, both negatively and positively. For this reason, it is paramount to do all we can to curb Climate Change, the challenge of our century. In light of this, my mission is to raise awareness among people about what they can do to save our planet.

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. As VP of Gaia Hovedstaden I lead events and social media, collaborating with partners to amplify green initiatives. As an ambassador, I aim to inspire action by uniting and promoting sustainable practices. With a background in international business and experience in sustainability consulting, I bridge policy and impactful environmental action, driving innovation for a sustainable future.

I am a self-employed integrated communications strategist and the founder of HAIKU communications, a network of independent professionals focused on social impact topics. My work involves developing sustainability marketing strategies for brands. I will organise events addressing greenwashing and highlight positive examples in market communications. Additionally, I will educate the public on recognizing false green advertising through workshops and raise awareness via social media and blogs.

I am a climate activist dedicated to working with communities. It is essential for everyone to understand the critical challenges we face regarding climate change and to take collective action. I believe that by fostering a sense of community and collaboration, we can move towards a future that emphasizes unity over individuality. Together, we can address these urgent issues and create sustainable solutions that benefit all. My goal is to empower individuals to engage actively in this vital mission.

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.
