Ontmoet onze ambassadeurs

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.

Happy to connect, present and translate the goals of the Climate Pact.

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. 

Since 2019 I conduct investigations into the negative consequence of climate anxiety in young adults. These consequences have an impact on the mental health of individuals that perceived themselves and their community as unable to purpose effective behavior to mitigate climate change. The scientific literature on this issue suggested that the perception of self and community efficacy could lead to adopting pro-environmental behavior. I would study this phenomenon and spread information about it.

We have not only a political but also a moral obligation to implement environmentally friendly policies. The challenge of climate change is not just a problem we have to deal with but at the same time an opportunity for sustainable, green growth.The Region of Thessaly is leading in this effort and is a region with a deep green environmental footprint. 

Soy voluntario ambiental con el claro convencimiento de que la mejor acción es el ejemplo. 

Vivo en Andalucía, una de las zonas de la UE donde mayor es el impacto del Cambio Climático. 

Lograr mantener los equilibrios naturales y conseguir que el progreso de las personas sea compatible con la biodiversidad es nuestro gran reto colectivo de los próximos años.

Para ello debemos sustentar nuestras acciones en la conciencia y en hábitos de compra y consumo responsables con todos.

I am an environmental volunteer with the clear conviction that the best action is by example.

I live in Andalusia, one of the areas of the EU where the impact of Climate Change is greatest.

Maintaining natural balances and ensuring that people's progress is compatible with biodiversity is our great collective challenge for the coming years.

To do this, we must support our actions in awareness and in responsible purchasing and consumption habits with everyone.

I am a climate enthusiast, policy wonk and teacher, keen to untangle the complexity of climate change and sustainable finance by engaging in acts of awareness raising with the youth. I have a wide experience on climate change and climate finance in both the multilateral, supranational and private sector, and have been leading the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers in Brussels, a network of inspiring young people under the age of 30 working together to address local, regional, and global challenges in their region. 

As an ambassador, you can set an example that things are achieved step by step. Every action is important, no matter how small. Achieving a 60% reduction in municipal consumption in a municipality with only 334 inhabitants is a significant feat.

I believe I can raise awareness among the citizens and other municipalities as a success story in green policies and the fight against climate change.

Furthermore, the media visibility I have as the mayor of my town will allow me to reach a broader audience, both nationally and within the European Union.

As a climate justice expert, educator and activist, I am eager to take on the role of Ambassador for the European Climate Pact. With over a decade of expertise in climate justice, I plan to engage with the Pact Community by actively participating in online groups and by sharing the Pact's vital messages and campaigns through various communication channels, including social media, also promoting opportunities for others to become Pact Ambassadors. I will leverage my expertise by writing articles, giving presentations, and creating knowledge materials to facilitate workshops in universities and schools, thereby empowering the younger generation to take meaningful climate action. Moreover, as an activist at heart, I am committed to organising and participating in events that have visible connections with the Climate Pact, ensuring that their actions align closely with the objectives of the Pact, and inspire others to join the climate action movement. 

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 live in Asturias, a privileged place that makes people aware of the need of their care and protection.

We need to know the worst problem we face as humanity, the climate change, and the best solutions we have to deal with it.

That's why I enjoy creating content and researching from a multidisciplinary perspective as an environmental scientist. It's time to act.

I'm planning to use my passion and knowledge of sustainability to engage and inspire others; to use my network to connect and empower others for sustainability and to use my position to drive cultural change and develop technical solutions.

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.

My motto is "Think Green, Act Local". In the past years, I devoted myself to raising awareness about the environment and creating change at the grassroots level of my community. As an Ambassador, my mission is to stick to my values and keep being focused on spreading the message that we need to change now by adopting new habits, To achieve this, my main area of focus will be the planning and promotion of local activities about climate change in a combination with school visits.

In my role as a Climate Change Ambassador, I bring a distinctive blend of expertise and fervour to the cause, which complements my background as a Ph.D. candidate specialising in Energy and Sustainability. My intended initiatives center on closing the divide between state-of-the-art research and practical, implementable solutions. I intend to collaborate with academic institutions, industry influencers, and policymakers to communicate the most recent discoveries in climate science and sustainable energy technologies. Through partnerships, workshops, and advocacy for policy reform, I strive to stimulate inventive approaches that effectively address the challenges posed by climate change. Whether it involves nurturing cross-disciplinary discussions, advancing the adoption of renewable energy sources, or championing policies grounded in evidence, my goal is to serve as a catalyst for transformative change and an exemplar of well-informed leadership in the field of climate action.

In my pursuit as an alpinist, to climb the highest summit of each of the 7 continents, I traveled to the most remote places on Earth, witnessed the degradation of our planet’s natural environment and decided to act.

In 2020, I founded the organization “AWomanCanBe.org” focusing on women empowerment & collaboration for nature & environmental sustainability. Women For Nature and Women For Climate are not only our mottos but also our main initiatives.

However, I also use my professional experience as a communications and sustainability consultant to help promote climate action. Therefore, as EU Climate Pact Ambassador my contribution is in the field of raising public awareness about the environmental changes that occur, through the organization of events & inspiring projects that educate and motivate communities on climate crisis issues and the need for adaptation and resilience.

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.

My mission is to empower people for united action, becauseCOLLABORATION IS KEY. Together we are the solution!
