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: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!
