My name is BM, I live in Dublin. I have always been interested in nature and the environment ever since I was very young and I am very passionate about the climate crisis. I currently work for a primary school education company (dabbledoo) and have also started a company that helps people cook more sustainably at home (Feeds - sustainable meal plans). I'm interested in active travel, sustainable food and overconsumption. As a Climate Ambassador I hope to get more involved in climate action at a local level in my community and organise local events and actions to increase awareness of the issues and hopefully create long-lasting improvements.

Hi, my name is Conor and I am delighted to become a Climate Ambassador with An Taisce and be part of a movement to promote communication and action to fight climate change. I am currently studying Climate Entrepreneurship at Trinity and looking forward exploring business solutions and getting involved with community and school events. Long Live the Planet.

My name is David and my life began in the green fields of North County Dublin. I can’t remember a time when I felt separate from the natural world. Growing up I always took it for granted that it was in the nature of life to be connected to everything and to see wonder in the small acts of God’s beauty. Nowadays I live in Dublin 6 where I work as a Church of Ireland (Anglican) priest. I am especially excited about the role that faith communities have in the efforts to deal with, and reverse, climate breakdown.

My name is Elios, and I am enthusiastic about Renewable Energy, Sustainability, and the Environment. I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing team, eagerly looking forward to achieving all the goals this program pursues and making a positive impact on others concerning the current issue of climate change. I am eager to participate in discussions to spread knowledge about technology and explore new approaches to address climate change. Lastly, I am genuinely happy to be here.

My name Is Enioluwafe, Eni for short. I am a student in Athlone who is absolutely obsessed with the environment. I think that preserving our environment while also developing society is extremely important and I firmly believe these two things can coexist as one. I'm excited to embark on this journey as a climate ambassador and I would love to increase awareness about climate change in secondary schools and get more students like me involved.

A Geoscience graduate from Trinity College Dublin, I'm impassioned by the circular economy and sustainability. My final year project mapped microplastics along the North Dublin coast, fuelling my dedication to oceanic preservation. As a Climate Ambassador, I conduct workshops on microplastic pollution, aiming to inspire actionable change. Additionally, I advocate for sustainable fashion, recognizing its connection to microplastic contamination. Through education and advocacy, I strive to cultivate environmental consciousness and promote circularity. Let's unite in building a greener, more sustainable future.

Hi My name is Hannah, I'm 23 and I live in Trim, Co. Meath . I recently graduated from Environmental Sciences in Trinity College Dublin so I am very passionate about our environment and the positive actions we can take🌱. I became a climate ambassador because although I had a lot of knowledge about the science behind climate change and many environmental processes I wanted to learn how best to communicate and spread climate awareness in my community 🌍. At the moment I am working on presentations to give to primary school students in my area as well as collaborating with Trim Tidy Towns and Sick of Plastic Trim to organise National Spring Clean 2024 in Trim 🗑. I really hope that we can improve facilities in Trim such as providing more bins along the river, improving cycle lanes and banning single use coffee cups in Trim. I am really looking forward to making a difference even if its only a small one! 🎉

Hey I'm Íomar. I'm from North county Dublin and my favourite thing to do on the weekend is to bring my two dogs for a walk along the Donabate cliff walk. I'm a data analyst in a climate tech start-up called Positive Carbon who monitor and tackle food waste in large commercial kitchens. I'm so grateful to be able to combine my love for data and passion for sustainability. I have a particular interest in climate innovation and I hope to advocate the job opportunity in the climate startup space to new grads.

I'm Liam Coyle from Longford and I currently live in Dublin. I come from an agricultural background where I have seen the material impacts of climate change on the farm from tree felling from more severe and frequent storms to flooding from unprecedented rainfall levels. Professionally, I am an advisor to Ireland's leading businesses, institutions and government agencies with sustainability being imperative across my work at KPMG Strategy. My academic background is in strategy, negotiation and leadership. Each of us must fight climate change in our own meaningful way, and I am interested in contributing under three key areas: 1) Improving literacy and awareness of climate science and solutions, across all demographics; 2) Empowering others to take climate action and become their own climate champion; 3) Restoring nature and biodiversity, particularly the restoration of our forest cover by tree planting.

My name is Liliane, and I was born and raised in Brazil, where I grew up around nature. As far as I can remember, I´ve always admired the environment for what it is and provides to us - a peaceful, special, and surprising place that always makes me feel positive. Through studying Civil Engineer and working in this area in Ireland I endeavour to protect and improve the world that has given me so much. I look forward to meeting everyone and sharing why we are passionate about the climate.

Hey, my name is Oleksandr. I'm a big nature lover with business background and penchant for continuous Personal Development. I'm passionate about all three pillars of Sustainability. As a part of the Design Thinking for Sustainability program (UCD) I'm actively engaged in Sustainability projects. My North Star goal is to develop personal techniques for individual growth shaped in a course, aiming to cultivate a strong connection between an individual and nature. I believe that change is possible, not overnight but achievable.

Hey, I’m Rachel and I’m a final year Geography and French student at Trinity College. As a Climate Ambassador, I want to go beyond the bubble of student environmentalism to make a difference in other communities. I love upcycling clothes and I teach sewing to children as a part-time job. This year, I’d like to discover ways that people can share skills and knowledge that help us transition to a climate-friendly society. I’d also like to promote the initiatives already doing incredible work across Ireland, to create connections and increase participation in climate activism.

Well last year in 2023 I became a member of IVOL and I discovered my love for volunteering. My interest in climate awareness began when I researched this particular topic with my keyworker and found I could help the environment through little changes and encourage my pals to do the same thing. Well my hopes are to encourage my pals to learn and understand about the importance of saving the environment by protecting natural habitats and communities. Well learning about different animals like pigs and ducks my 2 personal favourite farm animals and how we should help protect them. I would like to make climate awareness accessible for all of us regardless of their additional needs. I am looking forward to continuing my climate awareness journey with An Taisce and my fellow climate ambassadors.

Hey, my name is Simon. I am a student from Germany studying Global Business at DCU in Dublin and ESB in Germany. I am interested in Business, Politics and the question how we can tackle the climate change together with as many people as possible. As a climate Ambassador I would like to raise more awareness about climate change and how easy it can be to make the first steps towards a more sustainable life style. I plan to do climate actions and communications in Ireland as well as in Germany.

My name is Sofia. I’ve been interested in climate change and sustainability for as long as I can remember and really want to do more to make people aware of the severity of this issue. I am especially interested in fast fashion and I hope to run an event centered on this topic and what people can do to address it. I don’t think the issue is as widely known as it should be, even though there is a lot we can do to positively affect it - even just buying second hand! I hope I can make others realise the power they have as consumers to make change.

Hi my name is Shammy, I work with data in the business world. Thanks to my dad, I have always felt a strong sense of our connection with the natural world, to tread lightly. Over recent years through personal experiences I have become increasingly aware and alarmed by climate changes. It has prompted me to transition my future career by doing online courses, research scientific data, and enroll in UL Sustainability diploma so I can respond to the call for action more effectively. As a mother, I am especially interested that our future gens have agency and adaptability in a rapidly eroding world. I hope to engage with them in local schools and also with other environmentalists to campaign against retail marketing driving over-consumption. Please do connect with me if you would like to join forces!
