Rembrandt Zegers

I am honored to be a European Climate Pact Ambassador. Climate action needs to be undertaken by everybody and in all thinkable ways. The activities I will focus on - together with others - are primarily: i. Community awareness and capacity building - especially in the South West region of the Netherlands. This work strenghtens direct citizen involvement for local resilience and sustainability. ii. Convening workshops that allow people to share thoughts and feelings, in support of wellbeing and health. Through this work climate emotions can be expressed and people can (start) to engage with (local) initiatives. iii. Supporting cooperatives (energy transition, greening living spaces) finding new members, building relations with (local) governments. iv. Communication, speaking and use of (local) media. v. Supporting the European Pact ambassadors, also seeking learning across geographies and helping the dissemination of experiences where it is helpful and asked for.
