As a doctoral researcher focused on circular economy solutions, I am passionate about driving systemic change through scientific innovation. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to engage my academic networks in sustainability dialogues, advocate for universities to strengthen their climate commitments, and provide evidence-based guidance on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I will connect with student groups to help amplify their voices and actions on climate justice. My scientific background allows me to communicate credibly on environmental issues and policies. I aim to inspire my peers to confront the climate emergency through local green initiatives and grassroots activism. Together, our generation can build momentum to achieve a just, sustainable future.

I am a PhD student researching Positive Energy Districts as part of the Sustainability Research Group of the University of Basel, and have published papers where I focus on energy justice as well as energy poverty. I see climate change mitigation as vital! I am a member of the Fairteiler group that provides a food pantry which is stocked daily with food we collect from supermarkets that would otherwise be thrown away. In this way we reduce food waste and encourage a more sustainable community.

I make climate policy accessible to young people to build up an empowered generation of climate policy experts and campaigners. I am the founder and CEO of ClimaTalk, an international youth-led non-profit organisation demystifying climate policy. We have so far published over 500 short and accessible articles covering 15+ areas of climate policy. We're also conducting award-winning live coverage from UNFCCC climate conferences. We're a team of 100+ volunteers from 30+ countries and 6 continents.

Through his work at Breeze, he enables startups and other organisations to pilot solutions that can mitigate climate pollutant emissions and improve local air quality.

As a passionate advocate focused on community engagement and education, I plan to launch a social media campaign to promote the European Climate Pact and share practical tips. Educational materials will be created, including a guidance document for organising climate workshops in schools. Additionally, I will support initiatives centred on land restoration and facilitate community gatherings to discuss local climate action. Through these efforts, the goal is to inspire greater involvement.

I am an advisor in Agriculture and Environment, working for a better world, where sustainability prevails and with actions that protect Biodiversity.

My main motivation as an ambassador is to help people see what is really happening right now with the climate crisis we are experiencing, what the consequences are and what are the benefits of taking action through making certain decisions and changing habits. I also want to help network companies that, with a common purpose, will together be able to make a greater positive impact on the planet and society.

Over the last 15-years I have been helping organizations developing platforms to address sustainability in airline and automobile transportation through carbon neutral biofuels, plastic and electronic recycling technologies, and remote sensing (satellites and UAVs) for agricultural and atmospheric management.

As an ambassador I will provide on-line seminars to educate and train various organizational networks on ESG policy, renewable energy initiatives, and MRV to foster a net-zero economy.

Climate change and its consequences are one, if not THE, major subject of our century.

Whether on the sets of the channels, radio for which I have worked for many years and on my networks, I try to  help as many people as possible understand the problem and relay the solutions and good news to give hope and push for mobilization. Access to information is essential for me to push for action.

As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I intend to continue to educate on theses topics.

I am a Decarbonisation and ESG Subject Matter Expert at Plan A, Europe's leading emissions management and decarbonisation platform.

As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to educate my network from this region on the impact sustainability professionals can have in any business.

I lead a platform that aims to empower (not only) youth to be engaged and active. Hub (online and offline) provides opportunities to volunteer, network, learn and act. As climate justice initiative - we also provide safe space where the voice of the youth and disadvantaged population groups can be louder through activism, participation, active citizenship, volunteering and knowledge sharing. We tend to develop skills and build capacities in circular economy and climate change related topics.
