“Are we really ready to deal with the consequences of climate change? How business and institutions are starting to adapt. The presentation will question what it means for various key social and economic sector to exit the exceptional climate-stability we have been experimenting over the last centuries. It will present pioneer initiatives from various economics sectors to challenge business-as-usual risk management policies and future developments strategies with respect to climate change. Through examples, it will illustrate the type of adaptation processes set up and the remaining gap for our economies to draw all the implications of ongoing changes and consider possible transformations of business models and services”.

Climate-KIC is the EU’s largest public private partnership addressing climate change through innovation to build a zero carbon economy. We address climate change across four priority themes: urban areas, land use, production systems, decision metrics and finance.
Education is at the heart of these themes to inspire and empower the next generation of climate leaders. We run programmes for students, start-ups and innovators across Europe via centres major cities, convening a community of the best people and organisations.
Our approach starts with improving the way people live in cities. Our focus on industry creates the products required for a better living environment, and we look to optimise land use to produce the food people need. Climate-KIC is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union.
