SUMMARY:Connect: Transformation on the Ground. Guidelines for community led innovation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful Community Connect session exploring a community-led\, place-based approach to innovation\, and discover how it can be replicated in your organisation’s operations for greater impact.\n\n\n\nAs climate innovators\, we’re often pushed to think of new bold ideas that are scalable and ‘solve’ urgent issues. However\, what might get missed through such an approach? \n\n\n\nPerhaps systems transformation can be more effective with slow\, relational and place-based approaches. \n\n\n\nBut how can such approaches be integrated in your work as innovators? And how do you convince funders\, investors\, and strategic partners to follow this approach?  \n\n\n\nJoin us for a new Community Connect session as we dive into innovation rooted in community and systemic transformation\, and uncover how it can lead your organisation to achieve greater impact. \n\n\n\nWe’ll discuss with experts from Unearthodox and Post Growth Institute\, who have just published a report on this topic titled ‘Nurturing Innovation: Weaving Containers with Care and Courage for Collective Change‘. With them\, we’ll learn how this model of innovation can be replicated in your work context and scaled to other organisations partnering with you. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMeet the speakers\n\n\n\n\nMarianna Coulentianos is the Post Growth Institute’s Research Lead\, based in the UK. She is a lecturer in Responsible Design\, School of Design and Creative Arts at Loughborough University\n\n\n\nSonia Tesfaye is a research and policy consultant and social justice advocate\, based in Germany. Her work focuses on gender justice\, intersectionality\, African feminism\, and decolonial perspectives. Sonia is an Affiliate Fellow of the Post Growth Institute\n\n\n\nClaire Dusonchet is Innovation Portfolio Manager at Unearthodox\, based in France. She applies systems and futures thinking\, together with inclusive co-creation\, to support innovators in developing transformative ideas for nature and society\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n16:00 – 16:05 Welcoming & Community updates16:05 – 16:15 Intro to community-led\, relational innovation16:15 – 16:40 Deep dive into how to nurture innovation with a community-led\, place-based approach16:40 – 17:05 Networking breakout rooms based on three selected insights17:05 – 17:20 Harvesting from group discussions and Q&A17:20 – 17:30 Closing \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Unearthodox\n\n\n\nUnearthodox is a thinkubator that supports unexpected connections to transform bold visions into reality. The organisation explores new concepts\, anticipates emerging trends\, and brings impact-focused innovation into action\, catalysing transformative change for people and the planet. Its mission is to make bold\, transformative innovations for people and nature findable\, fundable\, and feasible. Rather than adding to the many near-term solutions available in conservation\, Unearthodox works in networks to reimagine what is possible\, creating space for long-term\, equitable\, and regenerative futures to take shape\, and moving ideas from vision to reality. The organisation connects and works alongside innovators\, thought leaders\, funders\, and decision-makers who are committed to deep\, systemic change in the service of all life.

SUMMARY:CoLab: Community-led housing and sustainable transitions
DESCRIPTION:European capitals are enduring a severe housing crisis that affects its inhabitants and climate. The EAA estimates that 75% Europeans lives in cities – increasing to 80% by 2050. Now\, 75% of those inhabitants lives in build environment that is energy inefficient. Furthermore\, rentals are soaring: OECD estimates that\, over the last decade\, the average rent has doubled in many European countries including Spain.   \n\n\n\nHowever\, in recent years\, cities like Barcelona have gained international momentum for an emerging model of public\, community-led partnerships. \n\n\n\nFor this Collaboration Lab (CoLab) on Friday 10 October and in partnership with holon\, we will explore such model by visiting two internationally awarded projects in Barcelona: La Borda and BLOC4. We’ll also discuss with key players of the local ecosystem how this transformation is happening in practice\, from green construction to finance and policies that promote the emergence of such locally led innovations.  \n\n\n\nThis CoLab is just the beginning. Over the coming three years\, Climate KIC Community\, will convene public and private stakeholders\, researchers and innovators to ignite a new movement to explore systemic climate solutions and collaborate to scale and pace their implementation.   \n\n\n\nJoin us if you’re ready to future-proof your organisation and collaborate with like-minded organisations and innovators.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n9.30 – 10.00: Welcome & coffee at Bloc4   \n\n\n\nWith Adria Garcia I Mateu\, Holon & Magnus Harrison\, Climate KIC  \n\n\n\n10.00 – 11.00: Visit to La Borda   \n\n\n\n11.15 – 11.45: Visit to BLOC4  \n\n\n\n12.00 – 12.30: Keynote: The emerging Catalan community led housing model   \n\n\n\nWith Adrià Garcia I Mateu\, Partner at Holon & Designer involved in cooperative housing policy co-production processes  \n\n\n\n12.30 – 13.15: Round table discussions   \n\n\n\nBuilding sustainable and holistic buildings & communities   \n\n\n\nWith Cristina Gamboa\, Co-founder of Lacol\, professor and architect of La Borda and other housing cooperatives.   \n\n\n\nAdvancing Housing Policies for a just transition  \n\n\n\nWith Eduard Cabré Romans\, Housing policy consultant and advisor of Barcelona City Council & member of CitiES platform   \n\n\n\nInnovating Finance to benefit environment and social good  \n\n\n\nWith Blanca Rincon de Arellano\, Associate – City Finance Specialist at The Investment Bank for Earth\, Bankers without Boarders  \n\n\n\n13.15 – 13.45: Gathering of insights\, reflections & next steps  \n\n\n\nWith Adria Garcia I Mateu\, Holon & Magnus Harrison\, Climate KIC  \n\n\n\n13.45 – 15.00: Lunch and networking  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Climate KIC Community CoLabs\n\n\n\nClimate KIC is hosting four Collaboration Laboratories (CoLabs) in the fall of 2025.  At our CoLabs\, we engage public and private stakeholders across value chains in our effort to connect climate demand with innovative business solutions.

SUMMARY:Climathon Murcia: Renaturalization of the Segura River and its Biodiversity in the Municipality of Murcia
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, river sections have been profoundly altered by urban expansion\, inadequate wastewater treatment\, and the construction of infrastructure\, leading to severe degradation of these natural spaces. As a result\, they have lost their function as ecological corridors and their biodiversity\, and they ceased to be places for public enjoyment. \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, there has been growing social recognition of the value of river environments\, now seen as a socio-environmental opportunity to integrate nature into urban and peri-urban areas. The renaturalization of these spaces is emerging as a way to restore their ecological\, landscape\, and social functions. In this context\, the Murcia City Council is promoting the river restoration project of the former Segura Riverbed in the El Vivillo Meander. \n\n\n\nChallenges addressed in river renaturalization:\n\n\n\n\nRestore and conserve river ecosystems as a key part of adapting the territory to climate change.\n\n\n\nRestore riverbeds and their flood zones to their natural morphology to significantly reduce the risk and magnitude of flooding.\n\n\n\nDevelop native riparian forests that attract biodiversity and strengthen ecological corridors.\n\n\n\nExplore innovative solutions that integrate river renaturalization with sustainable urban planning.\n\n\n\nRiver restoration in urban environments to improve life in our cities.\n\n\n\nImprove water quality and support groundwater recharge through more natural river design.\n\n\n\nEducation\, outreach\, and public awareness on the importance of restoring and conserving river ecosystems.\n\n\n\nImplement collaborative governance strategies for river restoration in urban settings.\n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Climathon Venice 2025
DESCRIPTION:The climate emergency in Venice is unfolding with accelerated and intensified dynamics. The city’s deep connection with its lagoon – long a source of identity and greatness – now becomes also an element of fragility and vulnerability. Venice\, the world’s iconic city of water\, and its lagoon ecosystem\, rich in biodiversity\, local knowledge\, and traditional practices\, stand on the front lines of climate change. Among its most evident impacts\, high tide events\, storm surges\, heavy precipitations\, and heatwaves\, which are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. \n\n\n\nThe challenge is to harness the uniqueness and richness of this territory and turn them into resources for climate resilience. Because resilience – the ability of a system to cope with change without losing its trajectory of development – stems from diversity: of functions\, responses\, and solutions. Policies alone – whether European\, national\, or local – aren’t enough. Infrastructure alone isn’t enough. We need something more. We need connection. We need collective action\, rooted in care for the land and its traditions. We need to be a community. \n\n\n\nThe challenge of Climathon Venice 2025\n\n\n\nLet’s create solutions that build networks and prepare us to face extreme climate events – by leveraging the unique features of Venice and its lagoon. \n\n\n\nClimathon Venice 2025 focuses on two key directions\, both deeply rooted in the city’s identity: \n\n\n\n\nSolutions for and with the most vulnerableThe goal is to design supportive solutions for those most vunlerable to the impacts of climate change. These solutions should emerge from the territory itself\, reflecting the specific characteristics of the lagoon and the complex architecture of the historic center of Venice.\n\n\n\nSolutions for and with the lagoonThe lagoon and its biodiversity are what make Venice truly unique. Can they also become the cornerstone of its climate adaptation? This challenge invites the creation of solutions that promote the active protection of the lagoon ecosystem\, engaging citizens\, schools\, associations\, and institutions while at the same time harnessing biodiversity\, local knowledge\, and traditional practices as active resources in responding to climate change.\n\n\n\n\nHow to participate\n\n\n\nLearn more about the event and how to participate here. \n\n\n\n Who we are and why we do this\n\n\n\nClimathon Venice 2025 is organized by the International Centre for Climate Change Research and Studies (CSRCC)\, in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, The National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and the Biodiversity Gateway of the National Biodiversity Future Center\, under the patronage of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze\, Lettere\, ed Arti [ITA]. We thank The Human Safety Net Foundation by Generali. This initiative is part of our “third mission”\, that is\, activities that foster engagement between academia and society\, with a strong focus on the Venetian territory. Our aim is to actively involve citizens in a public dialogue about the future of Venice and its lagoon in the face of climate change.
