EIT Climate-KIC is Europe's leading, independent climate innovation agency and community, working to create climate-resilient societies and fight the climate breakdown. Initiated by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), Climate-KIC bridges the gap between climate commitments and current reality through innovation and systemic change. The organization works hand-in-hand with countries, regions, cities, and businesses across the globe to mobilize systems change and accelerate climate action.
Climate-KIC orchestrates place-based transformations that ground climate action at the local level, prioritizing solutions developed and implemented in local contexts to build momentum and inspire action. Through partnerships, they generate, implement, and integrate climate solutions while facilitating learning to fuel faster and more ambitious climate action. Their work spans climate entrepreneurship, learning initiatives, and European missions including support for climate-neutral cities by 2030.
Climate-KIC focuses on catalyzing systemic change for climate action through innovation, radical collaboration, and place-based approaches. They prioritize comprehensive, systemic climate change solutions that address the complexity of the climate crisis, moving beyond isolated approaches and single-point solutions.
The organization emphasizes local context-driven solutions in cities, regions, and communities, creating positive feedback loops for change by making systems transformation meaningful in the places where people live and work.
