Three years in the spirit of business development and ecosystem building promoting carbon absorption and carbon neutrality
Among today’s global problems, the expected effects of climate change pose a serious challenge to both socio-economic systems and the natural environment. Warming caused by human activities is estimated at about +1.0°C compared to pre-industrial times. If current trends continue, global warming is predicted to reach one and a half degrees between 2030 and 2052.
Even a one-and-a-half degree warming can pose a number of risks that can have a very critical impact on human health, food security, water supply, human security and economic growth, among others. The pessimistic scenarios predict a higher average temperature increase, in which case the severity of the expected consequences also increases, so it is of crucial importance that we can manage climate change in a sustainable manner, taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. Climate change and sustainable development are fundamentally and multi-threaded. According to IPCC reports, climate change can undermine sustainable development, but well-designed mitigation and adaptation responses to climate change can support poverty alleviation, food security, healthy ecosystems, equality and other dimensions of sustainable development. Adaptation and mitigation activities include reducing emissions, building resilience, making appropriate use of technology and infrastructure, and changing behavior and policy.
EIT Climate-KIC is the largest European organization fighting climate change with innovative development. Through a systematic approach, the organization connects Europe’s most ambitious climate interests at the level of cities, regions and even entire countries.The mission of EIT Climate-KIC is to work together to accelerate systemic change to prevent the climate crisis. We define, secure and limit public and private investment funds that encourage innovation. We monitor progress and results and draw conclusions so that our financial partners invest their resources effectively. We facilitate the connection of people with a vision, ideas, low-emission products, services and professional, business experience and capital through the creation of projects and programs that effectively support the fight against climate change.
