Helping you navigate Europe’s big ideas.

Sevim Aktas is the founder of Inside EU Climate & Careers – a fast-growing platform helping young professionals decode EU climate policies and unlock sustainability career opportunities.

Recognised as a Rising Leader, Sevim is:

• Policy Officer in the department of Climate Action at the European Commission.

• Co-chair of Brussels New Generation (BNG) – a leading network of young professionals shaping Europe’s future.

• The youngest co-author of Delivering a Climate Neutral Europe (2024) – a flagship publication on EU climate policies.

• Featured in the Dutch Embassy’s Promising Women Exhibition (2023) – celebrating trailblazing women driving change.

• Advisory board member for The Nine and DE/MO Foundation – organisations pioneering impact.

As the first civil servant to create institutional content on Instagram, my goal is to empower the next generation of climate leaders through accessible insights, policy education, and practical career advice - turning complex EU topics into actionable knowledge.

Breaking barriers

I simplify complex EU policies, making them relatable and actionable to rebuild trust and inspire engagement.

Empowering growth

From policy briefs to career tips, my content equips young professionals with tools to level up their careers and drive sustainability forward.

This work is more than communication - it’s about democratising knowledge and building a future where policy is accessible, relatable, and impactful.
