Hello, my name is Nef and I live in Blanca, a small town in Murcia, in Spain.

Why do I want to be a European ambassador for the Green Pact? Because I live in an environmentally privileged place and it is necessary to make the population aware of its care and protection.

Every small action helps in the care and protection of the environment, we can all do our bit to a greater or lesser extent.

I am working in Granada Energy Office, doing already all of these things because of my job, so I would continue developing my job, supporting Granada province municipalities to implement solutions to tackle climate change, but as well, I am open to increase this effort participating in other institutions events (as I usually do), promoting these ambassador initiative among other local stakeholders that I know that could be ambassadors as well.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). My research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of digital communication and social change, with a particular focus on environmental issues. I am also the coordinator of the climate disinformation section at “Learntocheck”, a non-profit media education project about disinformation and digital content verification. As an ambassador of the Climate Pact, I plan to counter climate disinformation by increasing the public's social media literacy. 

With a rich educational background, I bridge nutrition and climate action. I’ve led educational initiatives where I connected food choices with environmental impacts, inspiring audiences to adopt food sustainable practices. My extensive NGO experience includes crafting education plans and mobilizing communities, fueling my commitment to advancing sustainable food systems. I am committed to fostering collaboration and driving systemic change towards a healthier, climate-conscious Europe.

I am a PhD researcher developing sustainable batteries for electric vehicles to support transport electrification. I also host the Transition CrossRoads podcast, where I engage stakeholders on Africa’s energy transition and its multidimensional nature, distilling key insights to support stakeholders in making informed decisions to drive Africa’s energy transition goals.  My goal is to foster stronger Africa-EU collaboration on the implementation of the European Green Deal.

I am a local politician focusing on energy issues. While involved in completing the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) in Slovakia, my main work is with Friends of the Earth—CEPA, preparing a project to transform the heating system into a modern, carbon-free system that aligns with European carbon neutrality policies. As an Ambassador, I will promote sustainable energy solutions, minimize negative impacts on citizens, and address the challenges faced by municipalities and residents in Slovakia.

There is no solutios to climate change without the EU. I see my role as ambassador as that of capturing the attention and building citizens' understanding of the EU Green Deal and its success through people's ideas and participation. But my role is also to listen to citizens and let the EU know what they think and what they want in order to achieve together the ultimate goal: "A clean, sustainable and better world for us and future generations in an EU to be proud of".

As an active citizen, parent, teacher and enterpreneur, I’m committed to fostering awareness and action on climate change through education and community engagement. My focus includes promoting active mobility, ESGstrategies and gender equality by developing training programs and initiatives with an high transformative value. I aim to inspire local communities and organizations to embrace regenerative practices and systemic change for a better future, with impactful actions and knowledge sharing

I am a journalism student and part of the group Klima ťa potrebuje. Six of us organised an online petition, “For the climate”, that has so far collected more than 126,000 signatures, forcing the Slovak parliament to discuss the climate emergency at its next session. I am so proud of being the part of this group because it is a big movement in our country.

I was the principal negotiator on behalf of my country at the climate change conferences between 1991 and 2010 and represented Hungary at the related EU-meetings. Afterwards, I attended such meetings as NGO-representative (e.g. Paris COP, 2015). Such topics were part of my publications and books. I teach environmental topics and regularly make presentations on them at various meetings. 

I am an atmospheric physicist with a PhD in Environmental Sciences and a scientific communicator with experience as a keynote speaker, moderator and panelist in several national and international events. I currently work as an environmental journalist and I reported both COP28 and COP29 for italian news outlets. I am the president of Protect Our Winters Italy, an ngo that focuses on the protection of mountainous areas, and I am a former board member of CIPRA international.

Farkas-Barta Kata vagyok, a környezetéért aggódó több gyermekes édesanya. A saját és gyermekeim jövőjére gondolva engem is foglalkoztat a klímaváltozás problémája, melyet az utóbbi években mind jobban érzékelek a saját bőrömön is. De hiszem, hogy még nincs késő, hogy megállítsuk a katasztrófa felé száguldó folyamatokat. Ehhez viszont cselekednünk kell! Én esőkerteket építek a közös célért és népszerűsítem azokat a lakosság és a települések körében.

ENG: My name is Kata Farkas-Barta, and I am a mother of several children who cares about the environment. Thinking about my own future and that of my children, I am also concerned about climate change, which I have been experiencing more and more in recent years. But I believe that it is not too late to stop the processes that are leading us towards disaster. To do this, however, we must take action! I am building rain gardens for our common goal and promoting them among the population and local communities.

I am a biologist and for many years I have dedicated myself to research on vaccines and gene therapy. My scientific knowledge led me to get involved with water committees. Subsequently I was elected to the Senate of the Republic where I continued my institutional activism in favor of the environment, of sustainable agriculture capable of tackling climate change. I intend to bring the fight for the protection of water resources and to raise awareness of the problem among people through my blog.

Our focus is citizens angagement and empowerment to advocate climate action from their local public authorities. In particular, I am currently the president of EuCliPa.IT association that joins a group of Italian ambassadors and motivated citizens.

As Vice Mayor of Gmunden, overseeing climate action, district development, and participation, I am committed to implement further measures of our climate strategy. A key focus is raising awareness within the community and schools. A highlight is the Gmunden Climate Award, which I’ll present to outstanding stakeholders in town.

There is no doubt that Climate Change is THE BIG CHALLENGE we must overcome for our next generations.
