Möt ambassadörerna

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 will follow a double approach, i.e. communicate internally and externally on my region. South Tyrol has many best practices to share and is ready to learn from other stakeholders all over Europe. As a regional governor I can bring forward our message on different levels: local, regional, national, European. Furthermore, as South Tyrol is part of the European Region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino, which is multi-cultural and autonomous, our background is very special and can provide a precious added value.

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.

I will focus on developing systematic education for young people on environmental topics through the creation of educational videos for schools. However, I will continue to address the general public on these subjects, through my social networks, which I plan to expand with video interviews revealing greenwashing and discussing the commitments of both small and large companies.

As EAERE president-elect, EIT Climate KIC HUB director, UN SDSN Europe co-chair, I will act as an ambassador for the Climate Pact and advocate for active participation of "all parts of society" - researchers, innovators and technology developers, enterprises, workers, consumers and citizens and their organizations- for mobilizing the transition to climate neutrality and the implementation of the EGD and the UN SDGs.

As a lecturer at the University of Primorska, I am deeply committed to embedding the principles of climate protection into both my academic teaching and community involvement. Through my work at the university and my collaborations with local organizations, I strive to educate, advocate, and act for sustainable development in our community. I believe that climate action is intrinsically tied to human rights, and it is this perspective that I aim to share as an EU Climate Pact Ambassador.

My background in chemical engineering, environmental science, innovations, community organizing and education has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively promote climate actions. Also as a lifelong climate activist, speaker, moderator and climate solution innovator, I have been deeply committed to environmental causes.

Committed to climate protection, I am also a signatory of the UN Glasgow Declaration in Climate Action.

I, Emilie Kovacs, as an impact journalist,stand before you today to take on the role of an active ambassador for the Climate Pact. I believe that we all have a responsibility to engage with the pressing issues of climate change and sustainable development. Let us work together to foster a culture of sustainability, where every action counts, and every voice matters. Thank you for joining me on this journey toward a brighter, more sustainable future !

I believe that food is tied to many aspects of life. Food is a political act and a solid social institution. Food is a cultural matter after all. I would like to write a new narrative about the way we eat because it affects our roots, our ground, and our future.
