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.

SUMMARY:Transferring circularity to Eastern Europe: From strategy to real impact
DESCRIPTION:The conference “Transferring Circularity to Eastern Europe: From Strategy to Real Impact” will take place on 12 March 2026 in Ljubljana\, Slovenia\, in a hybrid format allowing both in-person and online participation. 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.

SUMMARY:SILP Learning Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Systems Innovation Learning Partnership\, a collaboration between the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and Climate KIC\, is back with a new edition of the Learning Festival. \n\n\n\nThe Learning Festival is an invitation to pause\, learn together and make sense of reality without collapsing into urgency\, oversimplification or performance. \n\n\n\nAcross three days\, we’ll explore how narratives\, funding practices and collective learning shape what becomes possible in complex systems.To help us process reality in all it’s heaviness\, we’re inviting a comedian to accompany us in the festival to remind us that humour can be the most honest form of being with such harsh realities. \n\n\n\nDay 1: Climate narratives in action: Attention\, trust\, and imagining alternative futures\n\n\n\nTuesday 10th March 10-12.30 CET \n\n\n\nWith backtracking climate commitments\, shrinking budgets and shifting geopolitical tensions\, it can feel so difficult to reach the people needed for meaningful\, global climate action. \n\n\n\nYet climate narratives continue to travel through mainstream routes like Hollywood and through quieter\, less obvious pathways like choirs\, communities and culture. \n\n\n\nDay 1 invites you into a kaleidoscopic exploration of climate narratives: where they come from\, how they shape attention and trust\, and how they open (or close) our ability to imagine alternative futures. \n\n\n\nWith conversation partners from diverse spaces\, we’ll explore how different forms of storytelling and inherited narratives are being used to: \n\n\n\n\nCapture attention\n\n\n\nShape attitudes and behaviour\n\n\n\nIllustrate possible futures\n\n\n\nCreate momentum for climate action\n\n\n\n\nThis is a space to pause the churn of urgency\, question what stories are doing in the world\, and reflect on the responsibility we carry in the narratives we amplify. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: In-between Spaces: Intermediaries rethinking funding practices\n\n\n\nWednesday 11th March 10-12.30 CETIf you’re holding relationships that don’t neatly align\, translating between languages that don’t quite match\, expected to deliver certainty in situations defined by uncertainty. Accountable to multiple worlds of funders\, communities\, institutions all with different incentives\, timelines\, and definitions of success. \n\n\n\nThis is the work of being in-between. \n\n\n\nDay 2 marks the launch of the Rethinking Intermediaries Series report — a learning paper emerging from shared inquiry with intermediary funders and ecosystem support organisations navigating this in-between space. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll explore live examples of experimental practice spaces in funding and relational work\, opening honest conversations about: \n\n\n\n\nThe challenges of working across worlds\n\n\n\nWhat experimentation looks like in practice\n\n\n\nHow intermediaries are finding new ways to work with complexity\n\n\n\n\nThis day is designed as a learning space… not to resolve tension but to understand it more deeply. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nDay 3: Systems Innovation Learning Horizons (Closed Group)\n\n\n\nThursday 12th March 10.00-13.00 CET \n\n\n\nThe 2026 SILP Learning Festival will close the current lifecycle of the SILP programme. \n\n\n\nDay 3 will see an invitation-only gathering of some of Climate KIC’s closest partners and collaborators\, and some new friends\, come together in an intentional space to pause and reflect on what we are collectively learning about working in\, with\, and on complex systems. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nReflect on emerging insights from systems innovation practice\n\n\n\nShare live learning and challenges from our own work\n\n\n\nExplore the evolving landscape of systems innovation\n\n\n\nSurface collective needs and opportunities for future learning\n\n\n\n\nThis is a space for honest sense-making\, shared reflection and imagining what learning horizons might come next. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to be a part of this closed group\, please email jessamy.hardie@climate-kic.org (and cc will@orbitallearning.io)

SUMMARY:The power of transdisciplinarity for innovation-led impact
DESCRIPTION:Transdisciplinary approaches that bridge research domains play a key role in enhancing the impact of research outcomes.  \n\n\n\nFor example\, Social Sciences\, and Humanities (SSH) fields are sometimes overlooked in innovation and technology transfer while their contribution is increasingly recognised. Insights on human behaviour\, culture\, and social change can shape ideas into innovations that are more inclusive\, sustainable\, and impactful.  \n\n\n\nResearchers engaged in co-creation for innovation-led impact use new methods and practices effective for valorisation. They can connect research results from Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics (STEM) fields with people’s lives and values\, promote multistakeholder engagement\, and develop innovative solutions that respond to societal needs. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nThe panel is moderated by Maria Cristina Russo\, Deputy Director-General for Innovation\, Prosperity and International Cooperation\, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation\, European Commission\, discussing with the following speakers:  \n\n\n\n\nEsther De Smet\, Senior Policy Advisor at Central Research Department of Ghent University\n\n\n\nKarim Selouane\, Deputy Director of European and international affairs at CEREMA\n\n\n\nBalzhan Orazbayeva\, Manager Strategic Initiatives at University Industry Innovation Network (UIIN)

SUMMARY:Connect: Reflections on 2025 & Optimism for 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we reflect on one of the most challenging years\, share key takeaways from COP30\, and explore how our community can drive climate innovation and collaboration in 2026. \n\n\n\n2025 has been a year of extremes. We’ve seen climate events redefine what “crisis” means\, youth-led protests on social conditions\, a mix of setbacks and promising progress in climate targets and ambitions. Against this backdrop\, national delegations reconvened at COP30 in Belém\, Brazil in an extremely fragmented and uncertain political landscape. \n\n\n\nNow\, as the year draws to a close\, it’s time to gather as a Community and discuss: what are the main lessons from 2025? And how can we turn the tensions of recent years – marked by fear and impatience – into sources of resilience and creativity for a more constructive 2026? \n\n\n\nWe’ll kick off with an honest and empowering conversation between Christiana Figueres\, key negotiator behind the 2015 Paris agreement\, and Kirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KIC and one of the leading voices in the systems innovation ecosystem. Together\, they’ll reflect on the global climate landscape and explore pathways for meaningful action. \n\n\n\nNext\, we’ll share highlights from our Community and initiatives for 2026\, setting the stage for collaborations in the upcoming year. \n\n\n\nWhat can you expect? \n\n\n\n\nInsights and takeaways from COP30 Brazil and the defining moments of 2025.\n\n\n\nPriorities\, anticipations and opportunities in 2026.\n\n\n\nA networking space to share commitments and lay the groundwork for collaborations.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nChristiana Figueres\, Founding Partner of Global Optimism\, Chief Negotiator of the landmark Paris Agreement of 2015Christiana Figueres is an internationally recognized leader on climate action. In her position as Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) she steered the global diplomatic effort that culminated in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Today she is the co-founder of Global Optimism\, co-host of the podcast Outrage & Optimism and co-author of “The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis”.\n\n\n\nKirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KICA creative\, energetic and inspirational leader\, Dr. Kirsten Dunlop brings to her role a deep conviction in our capacity to learn and evolve into a climate-resilient society\, and her over 30 years of experience catalyzing systemic transformations in a career spanning academia\, consulting\, banking\, and the insurance industry\, across three continents.. As an expert communicator and enthusiast\, she is a sought-after speaker on systems innovation\, financial systems change and societal transformation in the context of climate.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive: Unlocking green public-private partnerships. A case by case exploration 
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s last Deep Dive on green Public-Private Partnerships. We will explore how businesses can work with the public sector\, highlighting experiences\, learnings\, and recommendations to go forward.\n\n\n\nIt is clear that neither public nor private sector alone can solve the climate crisis; they must work together. For this purpose\, there is no way around Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) if we aim to meet our and Europe’s 2030 climate targets. \n\n\n\nAs discussed with our members during the last CoLab in Warsaw\, green and digital transformation is an area for development and business opportunities within the PPP framework\, not only on a national level but also on regional and city level. A clear recommendation for businesses that want to implement these partnerships is to be agile and able to adapt to the evolving priorities of the public sector – just like any other consumer. \n\n\n\nHow can you align your business priorities with those of the public sector to elevate your products and services? How can you build scalable\, effective Public-Private Partnerships with governmental stakeholders? \n\n\n\nJoin us on Tuesday 2 December for our final Deep Dive of the year when you will hear from a group of public and private stakeholders to further our understanding of and ways of elevating Public-Private Partnerships. \n\n\n\nThis Deep Dive will build on the legacy and insights from the Community CoLab in Warsaw\, where we gathered various stakeholders from the Polish public and private sectors to discuss PPP\, recommendations\, and actionable next steps.   \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\n\n\nThrough guided dialogues\, peer-to-peer exchanges\, real-world case studies and more\, you will:   \n\n\n\n\nLearn from businesses and public stakeholders working with PPP. \n\n\n\nGain insights into how to work with PPP and why it’s important to you. \n\n\n\nNetwork with other stakeholders interested in PPP as you are.   \n\n\n\n\nThis is not merely a learning event. Expect practical methods and exercises to provide insights into your organisation.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDimitri Ionesco\, Founder of LightMirrorLightMirror develops reflective panels that bring sunlight into hospitals and care homes\, reducing the need for artificial lighting and heating. By installing these reflective panels at the edges of roofs\, natural light can be redirected into other buildings\, making it a controllable asset that cuts costs and improves the overall well-being of patients and residents.\n\n\n\nPaula McGinnel\, Investment & Industry Specialist\, Climate KICPaula is an Investment & Industry Specialist at Climate-KIC\, where she primarily programme-manages the City-Industry Dialogue initiative\, supporting EU Cities to collaborate with industry and finance on large-scale decarbonisation.

SUMMARY:Future-ready textiles: Activate desirable futures
DESCRIPTION:Climate regulation\, circular business models\, labour shifts\, and rapid technological disruption are reshaping the textile industry. To thrive\, organisations need more than compliance: they need foresight\, practical tools\, and cross-sector collaboration. \n\n\n\nTake compostable packaging: a promising innovation\, but its impact is limited without proper disposal systems or local infrastructure. Imagine if it had been co-created with municipalities\, behaviour experts\, suppliers\, and brands — designed for real system change and grounded in economic and social viability. That’s the kind of thinking this programme fosters. \n\n\n\nThis structured\, three-part online journey will guide you from understanding system-wide industry drivers\, to exploring future business scenarios\, to designing actionable innovation portfolios. By completing all three modules\, you will develop a project idea grounded in tangible scenarios\, insights from leading industry players\, and proven case studies\, future-proofing your organisation while creating lasting value for your stakeholders. \n\n\n\nModule 3: Activate desirable futures\n\n\n\nShift from foresight to action. Translate desirable scenarios into innovation portfolios that balance incremental\, adjacent and transformative initiatives. Design systemic interventions across product\, process\, business model\, policy and culture.  \n\n\n\nOutcome: A portfolio of actionable innovations co-developed with industry leaders that shows how to turn a scenario into a viable cross-industry project and create tangible impact. Participants leave with practical tools for networking\, engaging and securing collaboration.

SUMMARY:Funding in a Shifting Context
DESCRIPTION:Across philanthropy\, government and impact investing\, the rules of funding are being rewritten.  How do we lead\, learn and adapt when the ground keeps moving?   \n\n\n\nThe Systems Innovation Learning Partnership (SILP) led by Climate KIC is hosting a three-part Deep Dive Series exploring how funders\, intermediaries and systems leaders can navigate complexity and catalyse transformation. \n\n\n\nModule 1: Funding in a Shifting Context\n\n\n\nFunding is shifting fast. Agencies are shutting down\, budgets are tightening\, political priorities are changing\, philanthropy is taking new forms\, and intermediaries are being asked to step into new roles.  \n\n\n\nThis opening Deep Dive will frame the landscape we’re all operating in\, exploring:  \n\n\n\n\nHow funders are responding and reacting to this turbulence. \n\n\n\nThe new capabilities and relationships needed when “business as usual” breaks down. \n\n\n\nWhat these radical shifts mean for tackling complex challenges in the world — and how innovators can learn to operate in\, and even exploit\, the cracks within funding systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the full series of Systems Innovation Learning Partnership’s Deep Dives: \n\n\n\n\nModule 1: Funding in Shifting Context\n\n\n\nModule 2: From Rethinking to Redoing Funding: Operationalising New Approaches\n\n\n\nModule 3: The Invisible Work of Systems Change

SUMMARY:Future-ready textiles: Designing future sustainable scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Climate regulation\, circular business models\, labour shifts\, and rapid technological disruption are reshaping the textile industry. To thrive\, organisations need more than compliance: they need foresight\, practical tools\, and cross-sector collaboration. \n\n\n\nTake compostable packaging: a promising innovation\, but its impact is limited without proper disposal systems or local infrastructure. Imagine if it had been co-created with municipalities\, behaviour experts\, suppliers\, and brands — designed for real system change and grounded in economic and social viability. That’s the kind of thinking this programme fosters. \n\n\n\nThis structured\, three-part online journey will guide you from understanding system-wide industry drivers\, to exploring future business scenarios\, to designing actionable innovation portfolios. By completing all three modules\, you will develop a project idea grounded in tangible scenarios\, insights from leading industry players\, and proven case studies\, future-proofing your organisation while creating lasting value for your stakeholders. \n\n\n\nModule 2: Designing future sustainable scenarios\n\n\n\nCo-create opportunity-driven and risk-aware scenarios to guide the sustainable growth of the textile industry. Build structured visions of possible textile futures – from more AI-led to more human-led pathways. Scenarios are built by embedding sustainability into the organisation’s core strategy while identifying system-level shifts and new business opportunities within planetary boundaries. \n\n\n\nOutcome: Clear scenarios\, including skills and tools map (what expertise is needed\, what exists\, what’s missing) and gap analysis\, built leveraging knowledge and real-life examples from key industry players.
