Ontmoet onze ambassadeurs

As an Ambassador, I'm dedicated to promoting climate action through Vienna Climate Connect. I aim to create a vibrant community of local climate advocates by organizing workshops and discussions focused on sustainable practices. My initiatives will include hands-on projects such as urban clean-ups and clothing swaps to inspire action and collaboration among residents. Together, we can foster a culture of sustainability and make a meaningful impact in our city.

As a Climate Ambassador, I have the opportunity and platform to do something really positive within my community.

It's a great opportunity to promote positive climate actions in a local context.

My focus is to interconnect local climate activists with other relevant networks and stakeholders, also across Europe, talking about climate change during regular interactions and activities, especially to those who are not yet involved in climate action.

I am an environmental solutionist and MSc student in Landscape Planning, with a focus on Sustainable Land Management and agrivoltaic innovation. With a BSc in Environmental Engineering, I blend climate action, research, and storytelling to drive impactful projects. As a Global Youth Climate Network Ambassador and FXB Climate Advocate, I implement community-driven climate initiatives and connect diverse audiences to sustainable solutions, inspiring collective action for a resilient future.
 

I am a researcher on environmental policy, host of the Mission Regeneration podcast and member of the Governmental taskforce for the creation of a national green investment plan for Portugal.

My commitment as European Climate Pact Ambassador is to inform and raise awareness about the impact of regenerative development initiatives within the EU space, as an empowerment tool to increase the engagement of more cities, corporations and citizens in restoring and healing the environment, our home.

I commit to develop:

-Podcast season with interviews with inspiring EU Regeneration initiatives

-12 EU Green Deal national implementation workshops in Portugal

-Premiere the documentary "Regenerative cities of the future"

European Climate Pact Ambassador representing the European Committee of the Regions in France

My motivation consists of helping to form critical, active, supportive, committed and co-responsible citizenship with their environment and with people, through social networks. My aim is that the information does not remain only on the screen, but that what is learned and shared digitally manifests in tangible results.

I am a journalist and climate activist who covers the problems of business transformation, as well as successful women in the column "Women of Bulgaria", which is broadcasted on the website of btvnovinite.bg, the Central news broadcast of bTV and the Morning Block "This Morning". As an Ambassador of the European Climate Pact, I intend to develop a series of videos and articles, showing the successes of business and energy saving, introducing highly ecological practices. 

In 2020 I translated the En-ROADS climate simulator in Bulgarian and became the only Climate Ambassador of the tool in Bulgaria. En-ROADS is a global climate simulator that allows users to explore the impact of roughly 30 policies-such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices-on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

So far, we have shown it to over 400 students in high schools in the city of Varna, Bulgaria and we are looking to expand it to universities, companies and institutions. I will be happy to partner with you and invite you (and your team) to a climate workshop. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Passionate about plant-based living, I've dedicated my career to promoting sustainability. My plant-based cooking channel and two published cookbooks, including one nominated for a prestigious award, have allowed me to reach a wide audience. Beyond recipes, I actively engage with my community on social media, inspiring others to make eco-friendly choices. For over a decade, I’ve been cleaning a local beach, demonstrating my commitment to environmental action. I am eager to contribute my skills!

I am set to:

1) galvanise highly diverse communities of knowledge and ability with varying degrees of experience towards a greener Europe;

2) empower citizens with tools and toolkits in line with the New European Bauhaus approach;

3) provide them with methods which stimulate common understanding;

4) empower citizens to enable a just transition to food production and waste revalorization with fair access to nutrition options, and

5) create open business models and collaborative systems.

There is no doubt that Climate Change is THE GREAT CHALLENGE for our generation and future ones to overcome. Facing the societal transformation that is needed in order to minimise its effects is an urge that must be tackled in our daily lives. As a scientist I deeply value the transformation power that sharing our knowledge among the society has to raise awareness. As ambassador I am aiming to raise awareness by sharing my knowledge while actively push for a change. 

European Climate Pact Ambassador representing the European Committee of the Regions in Spain

Born in Malaga, in the south of Spain, my goal as an ambassador of the Pact is to act as a liaison between the academic, technical, and scientific realms and various social groups. My approach involves utilizing education and communication strategies tailored to the local populace to empower them with a deeper understanding of climate change issues, enabling them to make informed and responsible decisions. My aim is to ensure that all residents of Malaga have access to information about the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to the climate crisis within their immediate surroundings, through tangible, inclusive, and participatory initiatives.

With a background in biology and a master's degree in Ecology and Education, I currently serve as the director of socio-environmental projects at Social Climate, an Andalusian cooperative dedicated to catalyzing social innovation for climate action and justice at both local and international levels. Our efforts encompass economic localization, Nature-based Solutions, environmental education, and responsible tourism.

I believe in people as a fundamental pillar for creating cities with healthy and sustainable DNA, because only people are capable of changing paradigms and betting on technologies with more human sides. I am in love with sport, wellness and health, and for that reason I am the CEO/Founder of a startup based on a health and wellness mobile app, aiming to reduce involuntary sedentary lifestyles and promote the economic revival of cities, hand in hand with local businesses and sustainable mobility.

As a Doctor in Environmental Law with over 20 years of expertise in environmental issues, sustainable development, and smart cities, I drive meaningful change. I work as consultant with global organizations, local authorities and business. I am also the author of "Guía 360º para Ciudades Sostenibles: Cómo lograr la transformación con éxito". As Europea Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to take concrete climate action in training, education and advocacy in sustainable transformation at local level.

As an Ambassador, I am dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and raising awareness about climate change within my community. My activities will focus on organizing educational workshops and events that engage individuals and local organizations in meaningful discussions about waste management and the circular economy. I aim to inspire collective action, empowering individuals to adopt eco-friendly habits and contribute to a more sustainable future.

I am a Climate Community Organiser leading a local climate non-profit organisation to speed up the transition to a sustainable society. Social movements, as well as collaboration between the municipality, civil society and local business is key to anchor and create acceptability for green transition. I am also a Climate Change Coach and an L&D professional, helping individuals, groups and sustainability leaders to engage with climate action and developing the transformational skills we all need to be successful in our work. I believe that behavioural science is crucial to our success, and I build on climate- and environmental psychology in my work. Last but not least, I am a mom of Ellie and Valter, and it is for them an all other children in the world that I dedicate my work. 

I am an environmental policy professional, with long years of experience in national and EU environment policies. I have served as parliamentary secretary of the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water for a cumulative period of seven years before setting out to an entrepreneurial career as project developer for green projects related to RES, green hydrogen, climate adaptation and mitigation. I have a strong track-record of bringing EU and international solutions to the local level.
