SUMMARY:Resilience in The New European Summer: Securing Farms\, Forests\, and Cities for a Competitive Europe 
DESCRIPTION:The context\n\n\n\nSummer 2026 in Europe will not be like summers gone by. The New European Summer\, the one we have been getting to know over the past ten years\, is one of ruinous crop destruction on European farms\, life-threatening heat in European cities\, and rampaging fires in European forests. In 2022 and 2023 alone\, more than 100\,000 deaths were recorded in Europe due to extreme heat. The loss of lives and homes is compounded by the economic damage\, which devastates both rural and urban prosperity.  \n\n\n\nWhile public and political awareness of the problem is growing with every burnt house and lost harvest\, the only area of consensus is that not nearly enough is being done. In September 2025\, the European Parliament debated the growing challenge of climate resilience and representatives of the regions most impacted called for decisive action. This year\, decisive and proactive responses are needed to help those most impacted by the New European Summer.  \n\n\n\nHow this event addresses it\n\n\n\nThis event\, co-hosted by Kristian Vigenin MEP and Grégory Allione MEP will bring together policymakers\, scientists\, and front-line workers – the groups whose insights are essential for both competitiveness and security over the short and long term. Building on these contributions\, the event can deliver a European resilience agenda that is both effective and achievable\, for this summer\, and the summers to come.   \n\n\n\nPolicy levers to be discussed include\, for the short-term\, ensuring that EU early warning systems are fully operational (via Copernicus and the European Climate and Health Observatory)\, that heat-health protocols are supported and coordinated across care systems through EU4Health\, and that operational and financial support is available to under-resourced volunteer fire services strengthened through the Union Civil Protection Mechanism\, including rescEU. \n\n\n\nOver the longer term\, key EU programmes need to be strengthened to reduce summer climate risks across sectors. The forthcoming EU Climate Resilience and Risk Management Integrated Framework and the European Plan for Affordable Housing should embed binding resilience standards\, scaling passive and district cooling and heat-resilient urban design to reduce urban heat. Implementation of the Nature Restoration Law should be aligned with fire risk reduction\, supporting more resilient forest landscapes. Finally\, future CAP reforms should include eco-schemes and risk management instruments that help farmers adapt to heat\, drought\, and wildfire through water-efficient practices\, climate-resilient crops\, and farm-level resilience.  \n\n\n\nJoin us at the European Parliament (Room 3HI) to learn how you can contribute to shaping the European resilience agenda.  \n\n\n\nRegistrations close on Wednesday 24 June \n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n14:00 – 14:10 Welcome addressKristian Vigenin MEP\, Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats \n\n\n\n14:10 – 14:50 Moderated Panel: State of Play and Path Forward: Policy\, Science\, and Frontline Realities Moderator: Dr. Kirsten Dunlop (CEO\, Climate KIC)  \n\n\n\n\nGrégory Allione MEP\, Renew\n\n\n\nDr. Elina Bardram\, Director\, Climate Resilience and Information Management\, DG Climate Action\, European Commission\n\n\n\nDr. Daniel Zimmer\, Water and Forestry Expert\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nStéphanie Richard\, Belgium-based nurse\, Founder of Care-Act-Terre\n\n\n\n\nInvited to discuss summer weather impacts and the near and long-term policies needed to ensure European resilience and competitiveness across farms\, forests\, and cities.   \n\n\n\n14:50 – 15:00 Call to Action Gregory Allione MEP\, Renew \n\n\n\n15:00 – 15:15 Questions

SUMMARY:Climate for All: Building Green Competences for a Resilient Europe
DESCRIPTION:Europe faces escalating climate challenges. Strengthening citizens’ capacity to respond is therefore no longer optional\, it is fundamental. We bring together policymakers\, educators\, civil society\, and innovators to explore how competence-based\, experiential learning can support a more climate-resilient Europe. \n\n\n\nThis event offers a concrete perspective on how Europe can move from climate awareness to climate competence\, and from competence to action. \n\n\n\nHosted at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels\, this high-level gathering marks the closing conference of Climate for All\, an Erasmus+ initiative (2023–2026) implemented across five European countries. The project has developed a practical\, scalable approach to building green competences through game-based learning\, aligned with the European GreenComp framework. \n\n\n\nParticipants will engage with both the strategic and practical dimensions of this work: from policy-level discussion with European institutions to hands-on experience with educational games and participatory methods that translate learning into local climate action. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nDialogue on Policy and Practice: A high-level panel featuring representatives from the European Commission\, regional authorities\, and civil society organisations\, examining how competence-based education can strengthen climate resilience across Europe.\n\n\n\nInteractive Game Showcase: A facilitated experiential coffee break\, where participants explore six original educational games designed to foster systems thinking\, critical thinking\, futures literacy\, and collective action.\n\n\n\nParticipatory Workshop: A structured\, hands-on session\, where participants connect gameplay insights to the GreenComp framework and collaboratively map concrete actions for local climate resilience.\n\n\n\nNetworking & Exchange: Opportunities to connect with policymakers\, practitioners\, and innovators working at the intersection of education\, sustainability\, and civic engagement.\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n08:30–09:00 – Arrival & Registration09:00–09:20 – Opening and Introduction to the project09:20–10:20 – High-Level Panel: “Building Climate-Resilient Citizens Through Competence-Based Learning”10:20–10:50 – Experiential Coffee Break & Game Showcase10:50–11:45 – Participatory Workshop: “Climate for All in Practice”11:45–12:00 – Closing Reflections & Next Steps \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nSophia Queckenberg\, European Commission\, DG EAC\n\n\n\nMonica Pisani\, European Commission\, DG CLIMA\n\n\n\nIoannis Anastasakis\, Region of Crete\n\n\n\nLaura McDermott\, Colectivo\n\n\n\nPatrycja Gas-Janczukowicz\, Nausika Foundation\n\n\n\nModerated by Antonios Triantafyllakis\, All for Climate ASBL\n\n\n\n\nGames presented\n\n\n\n\nSpirit Path (LARP on collective action\, systems thinking)\n\n\n\nEchoes of Gaia (storytelling card game for nature appreciation & exploratory thinking)\n\n\n\nGREENWASH!

SUMMARY:Bursting the Climate Bubble
DESCRIPTION:A lively\, interactive session on building broader\, braver and more unexpected coalitions for climate action.\n\n\n\nClimate events often bring together the same people\, saying the same things\, to people who already agree. \n\n\n\nIf we are serious about climate action\, we need to break out of the bubble and ask: who is missing\, who has the power to shift things\, and how do we build coalitions that actually move the needle? \n\n\n\nHosted by Climate KIC Community\, B Lab and Metta\, this session is all about connecting beyond the usual climate crowd. We’ll explore how businesses\, corporates\, community organisations\, creatives\, campaigners\, policymakers and other less obvious allies can work together more responsibly\, more bravely and more effectively. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll get from the session:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA sharper look at who is in the climate room\, who is missing and why that matters\n\n\n\nHonest provocations on power\, credibility and responsibility in collective action\n\n\n\nFast\, facilitated networking to help you meet unexpected allies\n\n\n\nPractical ideas for building coalitions that are broader\, braver and less boring\n\n\n\nSpace to challenge assumptions\, swap perspectives and escape the climate echo chamber\n\n\n\nLight catering\, good conversations and hopefully zero performative networking\n\n\n\n\nCome ready to burst the bubble\, meet unlikely allies and rethink who climate action is really for. Most importantly\, come ready to share what you can offer and what you are looking for. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDavid Watt\, Community Lead\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nIrving Chan-Gomez\, Strategic Partnerships\, B Lab\n\n\n\nGabriella Hernandez\, Head of Communications\, Metta\n\n\n\n\nThis session is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative. Read more about the Festival below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the organiser\n\n\n\nClimate KIC is Europe’s leading climate innovation agency and community\, creating climate-resilient communities and fighting climate breakdown by mobilising systems change in countries\, regions\, cities\, and businesses.

SUMMARY:The double challenge: Closing the green skills gap\, changing the system
DESCRIPTION:Join this session from our partners Unearthodox for an interactive systems lab exploring how we can create the conditions for a just and regenerative transition.\n\n\n\nThe green skills gap is not only a workforce challenge. It is also a systems gap. \n\n\n\nWhile significant efforts are underway to build the skills needed for a sustainable and green transition\, it is equally important to ask what conditions\, structures\, and systems must change to enable the capabilities required for a just and regenerative transition to emerge and thrive over the long term. \n\n\n\nThis workshop session is for funders\, policymakers\, innovators\, incubation and ecosystem leaders\, systems thinkers\, and transition practitioners who are interested in shaping the conditions that enable future capabilities to take root and thrive. Through a futures-focused and participatory process\, we will explore the system conditions needed to cultivate the capabilities required for a just and regenerative transition\, and identify practical pathways for action and collaboration. \n\n\n\nThis session is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative. Read more about the Festival below. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Green Skills Festival\n\n\n\nAs part of London Climate Action Week 2026\, Climate KIC and Kite Insights\, with The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and invited partners\, are convening the Green Skills Festival. A full day of conversations\, workshops and interactive sessions exploring the capabilities\, leadership\, collaboration and innovation needed to accelerate systems transformation. \n\n\n\nRooted in these partners’ collective belief that climate action requires radical collaboration across sectors\, disciplines and communities\, the festival brings together practitioners\, educators\, innovators\, community leaders and systems thinkers to share ideas\, challenge assumptions and explore practical pathways for change. \n\n\n\nThroughout the day\, participants will have the opportunity to engage with a diverse programme of sessions\, connect with peers\, and discover new approaches to navigating the complexity of climate transformation. \n\n\n\nRead more and register to all the events that are part of the Festival here.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Course: How to build a future-ready workforce that delivers on change
DESCRIPTION:The organisations making real progress on their climate targets aren’t just better at training their people. They are better at creating the conditions for success\, enabling learning that translates into action. \n\n\n\nMost corporate sustainability programmes skip straight to the course\, neglecting to design for what will make the training actually stick. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Kite Insights and Climate KIC will show you what the organisations getting this right are doing differently: a more complete approach to workforce engagement that addresses what happens before and after the training intervention that determines whether learning lands or evaporates. \n\n\n\nWe will cover:\n\n\n\n\nKite Insight’s four-stage engagement framework — Measure\, Engage\, Educate\, Sustain \n\n\n\nExamples in practice: drawing from Climate KIC’s work supporting leaders develop skills for uncertainty\, including navigating towards shared goals\, building cultures of experimentation\, and creating the conditions for innovation to take root inside large\, complex organisations.\n\n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with:\n\n\n\n\nA clear-eyed view of where your engagement strategy is breaking down and at least one concrete fix you can act on immediately. \n\n\n\nA better understanding of how to transform organisational complexity from a blocker into a source of innovation and business opportunity.\n\n\n\n\nIf your organisation is serious about turning ambition into action\, this is where to start. \n\n\n\nWho is the session for:\n\n\n\nThis session is for sustainability practitioners working in large companies who are responsible for sustainability training initiatives and ESG/NetZero strategy design.  The session will also be relevant to other functions that engage with or run effective sustainability training programmes\, including L&D and HR\, the Greater London Authority and the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. \n\n\n\nThis session is hosted by The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and presented by Kite Insights and Climate KIC. It is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative.

SUMMARY:Investing in nature-positive futures: Innovation and place-based finance for bioeconomy and systems change
DESCRIPTION:The transition to a nature-positive economy cannot be driven by technological innovation and capital alone. It also depends on the social fabric that enables communities\, institutions and regions to innovate together. This workshop\, organised by Climate KIC and a partner event of the EU Green Week\, brings together three interdependent themes to explore how widely understood innovation becomes a catalyst for systemic change and mutually reinforcing transformation dynamics. \n\n\n\nFirst\, bioeconomy is a systemic opportunity and emerging industry with high potential to boost EU competitiveness. Moving beyond siloed sectors\, we examine how bio-based value chains can be redesigned at regional and landscape level\, integrating ecological regeneration with economic viability. Drawing on systems innovation experience as a form of social institution-building\, participants will explore how multi-actor coalitions shift the rules\, relationships and mental models that currently lock in unsustainable resource use\, forming the foundational layer for building new financial and innovation approaches. \n\n\n\nSecond\, Place-Based Finance Labs are an innovation instrument to deliver on topics such as the bioeconomy. We showcase how tailor-made financial mechanisms – co-designed with local governments\, communities and investors – unlock capital for nature-positive projects. These labs embody multilevel governance\, aligning EU policy frameworks with national programmes and sub-regional realities so that investments can flow where transformation is actually happening. \n\n\n\nThird\, innovation in its widest sense\, and as an expression of social capital. Through concrete impact stories\, we illustrate the full spectrum of innovation: technological\, business model\, social and policy – already benefiting nature\, people and the economy. Framed through multi-level perspectives on socio-technical transitions\, the stories demonstrate how place-based experiments\, supported by the right social networks and institutional conditions\, can challenge and reshape current systems\, thereby closing the loop between systemic opportunity (bioeconomy) and enabling mechanisms (finance and innovation)\, delivering real-world transformation. \n\n\n\nFormat & objectives\n\n\n\nThis workshop will bring together practitioners\, policymakers\, investors\, regional actors and innovators to explore how bioeconomy\, place-based finance and systems innovation can accelerate nature-positive transformation across Europe. \n\n\n\nThe event will also help inform our position to give feedback on Biotech Act I and as part of a submission to the upcoming call for evidence on Biotech Act II. Your contribution is fundamental to shaping policy in the right direction at European level. Join us and let your voice be heard! \n\n\n\nParticipants will:\n\n\n\n\nExplore bioeconomy as a systemic opportunity for EU competitiveness and regional regeneration.\n\n\n\nLearn how Place-Based Finance Labs can unlock capital for nature-positive projects.\n\n\n\nHear practical impact stories from technological\, social\, business model and policy innovation.\n\n\n\nIdentify governance\, investment and policy conditions needed to scale nature-positive innovation.\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be in a hybrid format\, allowing participation either in-person in our office in Bruxelles (details below) or online. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDenyse Julien\, Climate KIC\, Ireland’s Deep Demonstration for the transition to a climate-neutral agri-food sector\n\n\n\nNessa Noronha\, University College Dublin\, TRANSFORM project\n\n\n\nPiotr Jurga\, Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (IUNG-PIB)\, BIOEASTWIDE\n\n\n\nSeán Douglas\, BiOrbic\n\n\n\nDamien O’Reilly\, Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS)\n\n\n\nTamara Giltsoff\, Climate KIC\, Place Finance Lab initiative\n\n\n\nKirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KIC\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:00 – 10:20 Opening and framing with Keynote from Dr. Kirsten Dunlop (CEO\, Climate KIC) \n\n\n\n10:20 – 10:45 Storytelling\, round one — How transformation begins \n\n\n\n10:45 – 11:30 Group discussion \n\n\n\n11:30 – 11:45 Storytelling\, round two — How transformation scales12:10 – 12:55 Group discussion \n\n\n\n12:55 – 13:00 Closing reflections and next steps \n\n\n\n13:00 Lunch & networking \n\n\n\nSeats are limited – Register below!

SUMMARY:How to Evolve - Global book tour
DESCRIPTION:What if the strategies we rely on to tackle complex problems are actually making things worse? \n\n\n\nThat’s the central provocation of ‘How to Evolve’\, the new book by systems thinker and author Zaid Hassan. His argument is direct: in complex systems\, strategy-as-planning is not just ineffective – it’s a form of malpractice. Millions spent on workshops that produce documents\, not real change\, is a pattern too many of us recognise. \n\n\n\nThis is territory we know well. At Climate KIC\, we work in what we call the “messy middle” — the uncertain\, often unpredictable space between climate ambition and climate reality. We don’t believe you can plan your way through that space. You have to practice your way through it. Zaid’s work puts that conviction into sharp\, rigorous focus. We think it’s essential reading for anyone working in climate innovation\, systems change\, or public and private sector transformation. \n\n\n\nClimate KIC and Ten in Ten are proud to host the Copenhagen dates of Zaid’s global book tour. Across two days at BLOXHUB (Bryghuspladsen 8) there are three ways to engage with his work — from a full-day hands-on workshop to a public evening lecture and an intimate author dinner. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nStrategy & Anti-Strategy WorkshopMonday 11 May | 09:30–17:30 CETA full-day\, hands-on workshop with Zaid Hassan introducing participants to the practice of systemic action. Limited to 30 seats.DKK 3\,189.99 (standard) / DKK 1\,589.99 (student) \n\n\n\nHow to Evolve — Public LectureTuesday 12 May | 18:30–20:00 CETAn in-depth public talk and Q&A with Zaid Hassan on the core ideas from his new book. Open to all.DKK 189.99 (standard) / DKK 89.99 (student) \n\n\n\nHow to Evolve — Author DinnerTuesday 12 May | 20:30 CETA small\, intimate dinner where Zaid shares behind-the-scenes stories from the book and the tour. Limited to 30 seats.DKK 789.99 (standard) / DKK 469.99 (student) \n\n\n\nA 3-Event Bundle — covering all three events plus a book pack (hardback\, notebook\, T-shirt\, and stickers) — is also available at DKK 3\,189.99 (standard) / DKK 1\,589.99 (student). \n\n\n\n\n\nCan’t make Copenhagen? Zaid is also taking the tour to Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Oxford\, Singapore\, Sydney\, and cities across four continents. See the full tour schedule

SUMMARY:Key insights and lessons for Nature-based Solutions and territorial planning in the EU
DESCRIPTION:What lessons can be learned from EU regions on design\, implementation\, governance and monitoring of nature-based solutions (NbS)? What are cross-regional insights on barriers and success factors for NbS? Which policy-relevant recommendations can be drawn? Join this practical workshop co-organised by Climate KIC as part of the ReAdapt project and get insights for your territorial planning. \n\n\n\nThe ReAdapt Sensemaking Workshop aims to address these questions. It brings together EU\, national\, and regional policymakers\, case study regions and ESPON representatives to distil shared lessons for stronger NbS implementation across Europe. These lessons will directly feed into the ReAdapt Policy Guidance Toolkit\, which offers policy guidelines throughout the NbS policy cycle (Problem identification & scoping\, Planning & design\, Financing\, Implementation and Monitoring). \n\n\n\nDuring this interactive workshop\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nGather insights for the ReAdapt Policy Guidance Toolkit\n\n\n\nPresent ReAdapt results so far: the Knowledge repository\, Climate risk maps\, cross-regional lessons and Policy Guidance Toolkit\n\n\n\nExplore cross-regional insights on barriers and success factors for NbS\n\n\n\nReflect on NbS design\, implementation\, governance\, financing\, and monitoring\n\n\n\nTranslate local experiences into policy-relevant recommendations\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout ReAdapt\n\n\n\nESPON ReAdapt (Re-Naturing Territorial Development for Climate Risk Adaptation I 2024-2026) aims to strengthen local and regional climate adaptation in the EU by integrating NbS into governance. Despite their effectiveness\, NbS face challenges such as fragmented knowledge\, limited data and lack of clear policy recommendations. ReAdapt addresses these issues by developing a knowledge repository\, spatial climate risk visualizations\, gathering best practices from eight case studies\, and developing a Policy Guidance Toolkit.

The event is organised by Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE\, a European Union funding programme that supports transnational cooperation across Central Europe. \n\n\n\nBringing together policymakers\, industry representatives\, innovation actors and project partners\, the conference will explore how circular economy principles can move from policy ambition to practical implementation across Eastern Europe. Participants will discuss how European cooperation\, digital tools and regional initiatives can help translate circular economy strategies into concrete action and strengthen more resource-efficient and resilient economic systems across the region. \n\n\n\nClimate KIC will contribute to the programme through a presentation by Marco Antonio Segovia Bifarini\, titled “Circularity in Eastern Europe: Strategic Outlook”\, which brings together policy experts\, regional actors and innovation leaders to discuss how circular economy strategies can be strengthened across the region. \n\n\n\nIn his contribution\, Marco will explore why circular economy in Eastern Europe requires a strategic rethink and what lessons can be drawn from the Deep Demonstration in Slovenia. This place-based initiative has brought together policymakers\, businesses and research organisations to experiment with new approaches to circular innovation\, helping to translate strategy into concrete action.
