Ontmoet onze ambassadeurs

I am a guided optimist, ready to make the impossible possible, if that's what it takes to solve climate change. My mission is to use my positive approach to give people more hope about solving the climate crisis. My motto is "scientie ante omnia", i.e "science above all", because I believe science is the foundation of everything and the core to fixing the planet. That's why multiple of my projects are focusing on making climate science more accessible and enjoyable for youth. 

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I am committed to promoting climate literacy through the WESEM project. I will prepare training materials, build mentor networks, and engage landowners, while sharing insights with the public. My work will include organizing workshops and creating educational content. With previous experience, I am also skilled in event organization and social media management, ensuring effective communication of climate and forestry issues to a wider audience.

I am a researcher in forest management and planning, and an educator and communicator on climate change causes, impacts and solutions. I believe that reaching out to journalists and teachers is the key to improving awareness of climate change impacts and uptake of both individual and collective solutions (mitigation and adaptation). This is why I commit to continue leading climate simulation games for middle and high school teachers and students, and programming educational courses for journalists with the Climate Media Center that I preside over. 

Alongside countless other young people, my engagement in protests for more climate action began in 2019. Little did I know that the climate crisis would become deeply personal so quickly. In 2021, my friend Rosa tragically lost her life in floods connected to climate change. Despite my best efforts, I was unable to save her.

Since then, I have started the Climate Justice For Rosa campaign, aiming to emphasise that the climate crisis goes beyond percentages and statistics; it is about preserving lives. In 2023, I successfully advocated for the establishment of the "EU Day for the Victims of the Global Climate Crisis." Every year, on July 15th, the EU will pay tribute to all climate victims while contemplating the climate actions necessary to secure a sustainable and secure future for current and future generations. As a Climate Pact ambassador, I continue to raise awareness about the dangers of climate inaction and exert pressure on policymakers, urging them to take action.

I co-manage Companions, a private equity organization focused on SMEs. I believe the investment world needs intragroup messengers, and I see myself in this role. My initiatives aim to raise awareness and bridge the intention-behavior gap. I propose partnering with sector federations to offer actionable ESG guidance, collaborating with business schools to include ESG in finance curricula & showcasing companies that took successful climate actions resulting both in financial and social return.

Climate litigation is crucial for driving meaningful change and holding governments and entities accountable for their climate impact. As an Ambassador, I'm committed to advancing this cause by expanding my Climate Court initiative and creating more awareness of what goes on in court. I’ll consult on more climate cases and implement a climate litigation accelerator to empower emerging lawyers. I will always ensure that the voices of those most affected are represented in the legal system.

As an interdisciplinary climate physicist, I have been involved with climate change (research, policy advice, outreach) for more than 40 years, including as IPCC Vice-Chair (2008–2015). 
My overall goal is to put my scientific knowledge and experience at the service of solving the most pressing climate, environment, and development problems, in a sustainable and fair way.
As EU Climate Pact Ambassador, I will integrate the information received from the EU in my outreach work in the best manner

I am a keen supporter of the EU's climate goals, and happy to contribute to their realisation in both my personal and professional lives. I have co-authored a number of city climate action plans and try to 'walk the talk' in my everyday life. I focus on any hybrid personal-professional action I can undertake to further support the Climate Pact, especially by sharing or co-creating knowledge and ideas with citizens, enterprises, local authorities and my fellow researchers.

I am an economist and sustainability expert with over 20 years of experience in risk management. Through my company, Bright Phoenix, I help organizations operate within planetary boundaries and the social foundation using frameworks like Doughnut Economics and Return on Sustainability Investment (ROSI). As a Pact Ambassador, I will organize climate workshops, educational campaigns, and publish guides to help businesses integrate sustainability into their practices.

As a dedicated Pact Ambassador, my mission is to bridge the gap between environmental consciousness and real-world action within our community. I am committed to organising and leading initiatives that promote sustainability, including events like the Vievio Lake Cleanup Drive, the establishment of sustainable meadows, and educational workshops on sustainable gardening. Through engaging communication strategies, I aim to inspire our community to embrace eco-friendly practices and advocate for a greener future. By joining hands with individuals and groups with varying levels of climate awareness, I am determined to make a meaningful impact in our region's transition toward sustainability and climate resilience.

I am a circular economy expert and sustainability educator with extensive experience in climate action and EU green regulations. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I will leverage my partnership with various Czech NGOs to organize educational events connecting private and public stakeholders. Through panel discussions, workshops, and media engagement, I aim to demonstrate how circular economy principles can accelerate emissions reduction and foster sustainable business practices.

I aim to cultivate care at every scale—body, home, neighborhood, city, islands, planet. By coordinating innovation-driven projects, I seek to connect planning, mobility, and people through shared spaces, public engagement, and storytelling.

From municipal strategies to artistic and ecological interventions, I hope to inspire others to observe closely, question deeply, and build relationships that protect and reimagine our futures.

As a professor in geo-information, entrepreneur and board member of Rafina-Pikermi municipality, it is my duty to support young people and local communities to move towards a sustainable urban environment. I believe we must plan our cities and activities to respond to local and global challenges towards environmental, economic and social sustainability.

I'm an advocate for beauty, fashion, and sustainability. As a writer and content creator, I share insights on eco-friendly beauty, fashion, and everyday tips for a greener lifestyle. Through my blog and social media, I aim to inspire mindful consumption and sustainable choices that bring style and wellness together. My goal is to make it easier for everyone to embrace small, eco-conscious steps in their daily lives for a healthier, more sustainable world.

I have the networks of my own city, province, and kingdom in my hands. I am an ambassador for active and conversational. I want to arouse people’s interest and actions for a better environment. Clean water, good breathing air, locally produced food raw materials, renewable energy and recycling are themes I want to promote.

I want to use examples to encourage municipalities and cities to take action. We can take advantage of the latest technology and digitalization.

I am the co-founder of Youth for a Green Future, Bulgaria’s first green youth association, and a climate activist focused on youth education and collective action. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to organize workshops for underprivileged youth, create social media content to raise climate awareness, and develop a guidebook on healthy and sustainable diets, linking personal well-being to climate action. My goal is to engage and inspire the next generation of climate leaders.

As an advocate for sustainable farming and environmental protection, Andy Vermaut urges Europe to take action to reduce pollution and improve air quality. Climate change has significant consequences, with potential losses of at least €190 billion in the EU. To mitigate these effects, we must reduce emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy. We can make an impact by working together to strengthen the local supply chain, promote environmentally friendly transportation, protect vulnerable populations, support farmers in transitioning to sustainable practices. Let's create a sustainable future for everyone by investing in research and offering financial incentives for sustainable farming.

I am an entrepreneur and activist.

My main professional activity is the development of tourism and especially the development of maritime tourism in Greece.

I have been a co-founder of GREENPEACE Greek Office since 1990, I was President up to 2012 and Honorary President since then.

Ι have been President of Economic & Social Committee of Greece (October 2015-February 2021). As European Climate Pact Ambassador I'll be active in awareness in climate and other environmental issues.

Unwaveringly curious and fascinated with the natural wonders, I'm a Science Teacher and a proud mother of two girls. Currently I am working in Teacher Trainning Programs. I'm strongly committed to co-create and lead a teacher training program focused on creating climate action projects and curricula in primary and secondary schools.
