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  URL:https://climate-hive.org/event/resilience-new-european-summer-securing-farms-forests-cities-competitive/ LOCATION:European Parliament\, Brussels\, Belgium CATEGORIES:In-person,Learning,Networking,Organised by Climate KIC,Policy ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://climate-hive.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/getty-images-1nW3yjagLvo-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Climate KIC":MAILTO:community@climate-kic.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260630T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260630T150000 DTSTAMP:20260726T064332 CREATED:20260611T095438Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260611T095906Z UID:10000122-1782828000-1782831600@climate-hive.org SUMMARY:Community Roadmap Session DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Climate KIC Community Roadmap call\, where we’ll share what’s coming next for the Community and how we plan to support members through the rest of 2026. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you’ll get: \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s ahead for the Community: A clear look at our priorities for the second half of 2026: the events\, opportunities and ways to get involved that are worth putting in your diary\n\n\n\nA first look at this year’s themes: The topics we’ll be exploring together\, and what they could mean in practice for your work and your organisation\n\n\n\nIntroducing our Quarterly Insights Magazine: Our new publication lands soon.

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!

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!

DESCRIPTION:You have been through an accelerator. Or you run one. Or you fund them. And you may have asked yourself: is this really enough? \n\n\n\nFor climate adaptation entrepreneurs in emerging markets\, LDCs\, and especially small island developing states\, conventional incubation and acceleration programmes often fall short. They were not designed for businesses solving deeply local\, systemic challenges where the path to scale looks nothing like a venture-backed startup\, and where patient\, blended capital and long-term ecosystem support matter far more than a demo day. \n\n\n\nThis public webinar is for founders\, entrepreneurship support organisations\, and impact funders who want to explore what lies beyond for adaptation businesses – and who are willing to ask harder questions about how we do we really create the systemic conditions for attracting the investments they need. \n\n\n\nContributing speakers: \n\n\n\n\nLea Faucheux\, Climate Policy Initiative and the ClimateShot Investor Coalition: findings from CPI’s forthcoming landscape report on climate-focused agribusiness technical assistance providers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America\n\n\n\nScott Walker\, Systemic Innovation: systemic barriers to enterprise scaling and implications for adaptation support\, exemplified by the updated African Scalecraft body of work\n\n\n\nTeam from Climate KIC and PlanAdapt: emerging findings from the two year evolution of the MSME Incubation & Acceleration Community of Practice of the Climate Adaptation Innovation & Learning project\n\n\n\n\nThe Climate Adaptation Innovation and Learning project is financed by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by UNIDO\, in partnership with Climate KIC\, the Global Adaptation and Resilience Investment Working Group\, and UNEP FI.

Numerous businesses and organisations are offering solutions to support them. And yet progress is slow. \n\n\n\nWhy? Insights from CCRI communities of practice have highlighted the problem: using linear rules\, contracts and metrics to pursue circular outcomes. They’re potentially the right tools\, but cities and regions need to unlock and re-align them for circular change to really begin \n\n\n\nUnlocking Circular Incentives: The Hidden Power You Already Have is a hands-on online session about designing support measures for circular businesses that work in practice. The session includes real examples from Vienna and Hackney to spark discussion and exchange. \n\n\n\nIn just two hours\, you’ll learn to examine and diagnose needs\, processes and barriers so you can develop\, propose and implement practical adjustments to existing tools – without adding new funding streams. \n\n\n\nWho’s it for? \n\n\n\n\nAnyone already implementing circular strategies but facing challenges in delivery and uptake.\n\n\n\nCity and regional practitioners working on circular economy\, sustainability\, procurement\, waste management\, economic development\, or innovation.\n\n\n\nPublic officials involved in contracts\, budgeting\, programme design or setting KPIs.\n\n\n\nBusiness support organisations\, development agencies\, and circular hubs working with SMEs\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the CCRI communities of practice\n\n\n\nOver the past year\, CCRI (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative) communities of practice have brought practitioners together to openly share what works\, what doesn’t\, and where they get stuck. This CCRI online workshop series builds directly on these insights\, turning peer exchange into practical\, hands-on sessions designed to help you move from ambition to concrete actions – no matter where you are in your transition. \n\n\n\nThe online workshops are coordinated by Climate KIC\, ICLEI\, Circular Flanders\, and DG RTD URL:https://climate-hive.org/event/unlocking-circular-incentives-hidden-powers-cities-already-have/ CATEGORIES:Learning,Online,Organised by Climate KIC,Policy,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://climate-hive.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/chuttersnap-IfmqOuOkaOA-unsplash-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Climate KIC":MAILTO:community@climate-kic.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260513T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260513T140000 DTSTAMP:20260726T064332 CREATED:20260508T095335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260513T100403Z UID:10000106-1778677200-1778680800@climate-hive.org SUMMARY:Climathon Organiser training #3: Casual drop-in for questions DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the new Climathon Organiser training series!\n\n\n\nWhether you’re hosting your first Climathon or returning for another season\, this series of online trainings is designed to help you navigate the full Climathon process\, from event design to follow-up support. \n\n\n\nDo you have more questions to ask the team?

The challenge is knowing which rules actually matter for your business\, and which ones are just distraction.  \n\n\n\nJoin Cleantech Regulatory Advisor\, Cinzia Alberti\, for a practical founder-focused masterclass on navigating European regulation as you scale your business. This session focuses on how to identify your real regulatory touchpoints\, prioritise market entry based on regulatory complexity\, and talk about regulation in a way that builds investor confidence.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll cover why regulatory strategy matters from both an operational and investor perspective\, how to avoid common mistakes that can set teams back 6–12 months\, and what investors actually want to hear when regulation comes up. You’ll also learn when it makes sense to handle things internally\, when to bring in external support\, and what that support looks like in practice\, illustrated with a real-world EU multi‑market expansion example.  \n\n\n\nThe masterclass includes a 30‑minute presentation followed by a 15‑minute interactive Q&A\, with space to bring your own questions and challenges.

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.

What it means for small businesses in practice  DESCRIPTION:Join a new Community Insights session to discover how small businesses can increase competitiveness and resilience while navigating the green and digital transitions.\n\n\n\nSmall businesses are under pressure to both decarbonise and digitalise\, but doing both at once can feel overwhelming. What if going green and going digital could support each other? \n\n\n\nWorking on the “twin transition”\, combining green and digital strategies\, can help SMEs build resilience\, cut costs\, and future-proof their business. \n\n\n\nIn this new Community Insights session\, we will explore what the twin transition looks like in practice building on the insights from the recent study ‘Digital Transformation of European Micro-Businesses‘\, created in collaboration between Mastercard and Caribou. The research shows that many micro-businesses are still at an early stage of digital maturity and highlights that sustainability depends on digital readiness.  \n\n\n\nDuring the webinar we will unpack how digital and sustainability journeys intersect\, and what this means in practice for small businesses and those who support them.  \n\n\n\nWhat can you expect? \n\n\n\n\nKey insights from the study  \n\n\n\nPractical implications for micro-business support and programme design  \n\n\n\nA real-world case study\n\n\n\nInteractive discussion  \n\n\n\n\nThe study has been developed by Mastercard through its Strive EU programme – an initiative supporting small business growth and resilience across Europe – in collaboration with Caribou\, a global consultancy accelerating impact in the digital age. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLog in to RSVP for this event\n\n\n\nThis event is open to Climate KIC Community members only.
