ETSA-Climate Pact Ambassadors 

 

Through much hard work and dedication, ETSA has successfully procured the EU Climate Pact Ambassadorship. This exciting opportunity, will allow ETSA, to act in synergy with the European Commission to inform, and inspire real climate action while also acting as a sort of bridge between stakeholders, individuals, industries and European institutions which are committed to boosting European sustainability. The EU Climate Pact Ambassadorship is an initiative by the European Commission to allow individuals as well as organizations to take a more inspiring and effective action to combat climate change.

With this new role, ETSA will have the responsibility and prerogative to disseminate information and best practices that help contribute to the EU's  sustainability targets, be it with respect to carbon emissions, chemicals, microplastics or any other priority area for the European Commission in relation to environmental policy. In order for ETSA's ambassadorship to become finalized, ETSA will need to commit itself through a pledge where we strive to go beyond the minimum requirements of  existing EU legislation and to find new and out-of-the box approaches to sustainability. If you'd like to read about the values of the European Climate Pact, click here.  If you'd like to see the finalized version of the pledge which was crafted in synergy with ETSA members, you can see it attached at the end of this page. On January 28th, ETSA also hosted a Peer Parliament, roundtable discussion on the subject of sustainability, Since 2022 is the Year of European Youth, the focus of this discussion was geared toward the future of sustainability. The participants of the Peer Parliament roundtable were all below age 35. You can read about that here, and you can view the recording of the event here. Furthermore, in Feburary of 2022, ETSA received news that it's status as Climate Ambassadorship has in fact been prolonged. You can see the certificate of that at the bottom of the page.
