Poznaj naszych ambasadorów

I am the founder and project manager of Centre for Capacity Building & Empowerment in Sweden. I also work as project leader for youth & EU affairs for Malmö ideella in Sweden, and am an advisor to Alla lika värde and Active Youth Denmark.

With more than 10 years of experience in non-profit sector, I specialise in youth and refugee empowerment, migrant and refugee integration, interfaith conflict resolution, election observation, climate change and the Mediterranean. I have lead more than 30 projects as a Certified Trainer and youth exchange Facilitator of EU projects. I am certified in Conflict Resolution and Interfaith Conflict Analysis by United States Institute of Peace, Washington. I am also certified by OSCE in election observation & international election standards certification by Council of Europe.

I hold a M.A. in International Relations and a B.A. in International Migration and Ethnic Relations from Malmö University in Sweden. 

Out of all the industries that emit GHG, I plan to focus on supporting the carbon reduction efforts of corporations in the industries of plastic, fashion, food, and agriculture. In 2019, the Republic of Korea ranked 9th for high carbon emission and at 4th for the emission per capita. Each year, the Republic of Korea emits 679.7 million tons of GHG and is the 4th highest emitter of carbon within the OECD nations. Currently, the per capita consumption of plastic amounts to 460 plastic bags or 100 kilograms per year. The Republic of Korea, unfortunately, ranks in the top tier considering its population, which is why the Republic of Korea is more than eager in climate action and response.

I have a PhD in sustainable diets from University College Dublin (UCD) Ireland, and am vice chair of the European Health Parliament Sustainable Health Systems committee. My main motivation is to secure human and planetary health, and to ensure a just transition to healthy and sustainable diets. Empowering consumers through information and health literacy is an important motivation, and reducing the environmental impact of the hospitality and food service sector.

Climate action and the necessary green transition of our society is dependent upon education. I have been active in the field of education and youth for 15 years, and have initiated and coordinated a wide range of activities aiming at raising awareness and comprehension on how people can effect change. More people need to experience and learn about the significance of conservation, the value of a sustainable future, and the need to make responsible decisions. 

The EU Green Deal needs to be a participatory project changing the hearts and minds of EU citizens. As a EU Climate Pact ambassador and as an experienced consultant I want to support local players & micro-projects on the ground - with a focus on planetary health eco-agriculture and biodiversity - to connect with each other and with EU levels. As founder of a small ecological project combining yoga and permaculture I think that this connection between local levels and the EU level is crucial.

I am passionate about the circular economy, having founded the Institute of Circular Economy (INCIEN), which introduced and actively developed this concept in the Czech Republic. Through hundreds of seminars, research projects, consultancy work, and systemic changes via advocacy, I have helped shape the national agenda on sustainability. I co-founded several industry platforms and remain committed to driving circularity as a key pillar of the green transition.

Key part of my activities will be focused on further promoting awareness on the importance of climate issues for the future of human society. I plan to organize study visits and/or conferences on climate issues in my city and ensure appropriate media coverage of them. Intend to participate in international events on climate issues and booster promotion of best practices, experiences and practical solutions how to address the main challenges that majority of cities encounter in the field.

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

I work for  Polish Green Building Council PLGBC, carrying out PR and promotion tasks for ngo as Sustainable Communication & Partnership Manager. I organize the association's events, networking meetings, workshops. I have been an educator for many years. I am currently co-leading environmental workshops for children and young people. I think that reliable knowledge about sustainable transformation must be promoted in our institutions, workplaces and communities.

Over the past years, I have worked professionally with circular economy, sustainability, and climate leadership. During my own awareness journey, I quickly realized that the green transition is primarily about changing our behaviors and ways of thinking. I have had the opportunity to work with networks, companies, regions, and organizations that want to develop their sustainability journey and reduce their negative impacts. I think my most important task is to continue raising awareness. 

The region of Hungary in which I live has great historical traditions and natural endowments. Nevertheless, now this region is lagging behind and poor in its potential. This is compounded by the difficult legacy of the old failed economy and industrial structure, that traditional politics still want to save. I want to do everything I can to make it prosper again on a sustainable and green basis, and EU funding is being used for that. 

As a Member of the Czech Parliament and Vice-Chair of the Committee on the Environment, I proposed the first Czech climate law. For this initiative, I engaged the public and NGOs, organized several meetings, roundtables with international guests from Denmark, Estonia, Germany, and Poland. On my social media, I aim to inform about the impacts of climate change, and as a member of parliament, I work to mitigate the negative effects of climate change—as well as climate measures—on people.

I am an experienced policy expert, serving as Senior Advisor to the Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy, specializing in Just Transition strategies, focusing on ensuring fair and equitable shifts from carbon-intensive economies to sustainable, green energy systems. I have a strong background in economic development, environmental justice, and labor market transitions and I am passionate about creating policies that protect
vulnerable communities while promoting sustainable growth and social inclusion.

As a passionate advocate for climate action, I am thrilled to embark on the journey of becoming a European Climate Pact Ambassador. With a background in event creation, community involvemnet and enthusiasm for nature, I am ready to leverage my experience to make a tangible impact on the urgent global challenge of climate change.

My planned activities as an Ambassador will be characterised by a relentless commitment to fostering positive change within my community and beyond. I envision actively engaging with the Pact Community online groups every quarter, fostering a sense of enviroment awarness and knowledge exchange among fellow Ambassadors. Through this interaction, I aim to not only share valuable insights but also learn from the diverse perspectives and experiences of my peers.

I would like everyone to know that the resources we have on Earth are not infinite and we should all end up using the circular economy. I am particularly close to the topic of water which we are almost running out of so I would like to focus on promoting its sustainable use and treatment through work and studies in nanotechnology.

I am a young and committed climate advocate with a mission of spreading accessible climate knowledge while deepening my own understanding. I’m currently working with Friends of the Earth Hungary to share key insights from COP with a broader audience. At my school, I lead sustainability efforts by organizing events and engaging peers. I’m especially passionate about climate politics and look forward to contributing to meaningful policy discussions.

As a human being, a mother and a global citizen, I have an existential and fundamental responsibility to do good and lead by example. As a biologist and in my role as an educator at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, I have the privilege to interact with the future's stake holders, educators, policy-makers and influencers. Witnessing the unprecedented devastation from mega fires and floods in Greece and the rest of Europe, it has become imperative to act with urgency.

As Pact Ambassador, I commit to sharing knowledge through science, working towards a better understanding of the mechanisms of life; macro and micro worlds. My aim will be to raise awareness of environmental issues among multi-disiplinary groups and different educational tiers; primary education to post-graduate level. I intend to introduce innovative teaching tools for better student engagement and development of skills to enhance learning and an understanding of climate change.

My goal is to present what can be done to help preserve our environment and help raise awareness in communities not just in my Podravje region and Slovenia but across the whole EU so as to make things in more sustainable, circular and  environmentally friendly ways, across both public and private sectors.

My name is Anastasios Kotsiras and I am a creative content designer and animator, living in Athens Greece.

I am also a young parent, and that was the main reason for me to use my knowledge and specialties in creating the eco-educational project "Save your Planet".

In the process of creating the project, I got involved in the environmental issues, the problems of our planet, and how to save our planet.

I use my skills to create a project aesthetically friendly for kids and their parents.

With a diverse portfolio of communication, research, and business development roles spanning several European countries, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned international organizations such as The Exploration Company, NATO, and the European Commission. In the space sector, I actively contribute to organizations, including the International Institute of Space Law, the Association for International Legal Research on Space Sustainability, and OpenSpace International. My involvement extends to research initiatives, such as the Space Generation Advisory Council's Near Earth-Objects, Space Law & Policy, and Space Safety & Sustainability Project Groups.

As an ambassador for the European Climate Pact in Greece, a part of the European Green Deal, I have actively participated in numerous advocacy campaigns and citizen empowerment initiatives across Europe. At the same time, I have actively participated in high-level EU policy dialogues with Frans Timmermans, the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, and Virginijus Sinkevicius, the Commissioner for Environment, in Brussels. I also met with Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson, the President of Iceland, in Reykjavik to discuss the significant role of youth and citizen participation

Academically, I hold a BA in International Business Management and an M.Sc. in Human Resources Management, while currently pursuing a Law degree. This multidisciplinary educational foundation equips me with a unique blend of business acumen, legal expertise, and strategic insight, enabling me to approach complex challenges with a holistic perspective.
