Climate-KIC

The European organisation EIT (European Institution of Innovation and Technology) coordinates Europe's largest public-private innovation partnerships in climate cooperation, Climate-KIC.

The mission is to bring together, inspire and empower a dynamic community to build a zero carbon economy and climate resilient society. The vision is to enable Europe to lead the global transformation towards sustainability. The program integrates education, entrepreneurship and innovation resulting in connected, creative transformation of knowledge and ideas into economically viable products or services that help to mitigate climate change.

The activities are driven by four themes of climate change. Under these four themes, specific challenges to address climate change mitigation and adaptation have been identified. 

• Urban Transitions
  
  Integrated, interoperable, scalable and replicable systemic solutions to underpin the carbon-negative, responsive, resilient cities of the future.
• Sustainable Production Systems
  
  Low-carbon value chains based on the circular economy and bio-economy are the future foundation of Europe’s industry.
• Decision Metrics & Finance
  
  Decision-makers, investors and high-carbon consumers are confident and committed to climate action, unlocking finance and driving the climate relevant economy.
• Sustainable Land Use
  
  Land use climate mitigation and adaptation functions strengthened through innovative tools and systems that articulate new value chains and contribute to green growth.

The Innovation Office has been tasked to coordinate the work of Chalmers linked to Climate-KIC. Please contact Anne Alsholm (anne.alsholm@chalmers.se) if you have any questions. In the calendar (attached document) below you will find information relating to Climate KIC activities and events.
