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:Policy Lab: Efficient\, Circular and Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:In cities and communities across the EU\, delivering affordable housing is an urgent social\, economic\, and political imperative. Meeting this demand requires solutions that are both cost- effective and future-proof. \n\n\n\nLeveraging the co-benefits of circular\, energy-efficient\, and climate-resilient housing – such as lower energy and maintenance costs\, greater insurability\, and reduced climate risks – can make homes more affordable in the long run and open the door to innovative\, collaborative\, and systemic solutions. \n\n\n\nTo this end\, the EU Cities Mission is engaging European businesses and industry to translate Mission Cities’ Action and Investment Plans into specific\, quantified\, aggregate demand for green materials and technologies\, infrastructure\, manufacturing\, logistics\, interoperable digital solutions\, and green business models. In this way\, we can accelerate the formation of European lead markets and enhance competitiveness through resilience to climate and economic shocks. \n\n\n\nEmploying an innovative policy impact lab approach\, in this session Climate KIC\, in partnership with the Huge Thing and IRMIR (Institute for the Development of Cities and Regions) will gather key representatives of the European built environment ecosystem – policy makers\, industry\, innovators\, local governments\, subject experts – to start addressing housing related (esp. in terms of renovation or new construction) issues in a practice-oriented way. These representatives will work on matching challenges with solutions\, identifying gaps\, and creating space for participants to acknowledge both opportunities and limitations\, to jointly explore ways and projects for moving forward. \n\n\n\n\n[Business models] In what areas are circularity and efficiency co-benefits of affordability? How can this potential be maximized?\n\n\n\n[Innovations] How can alternative and innovative approaches (like zero-emissions building sites\, offsite construction\, energy management innovations etc.)\, be integrated affordably?\n\n\n\n[Costs] What are the key cost drivers constraining the potential of building renovation / new constructions being delivered in affordable and sustainable ways\, and how can they be addressed?\n\n\n\n[Costs] To what extent can innovative financial instruments (e.g. guarantees\, subordinated debt\, pay-as-you-save models etc.) balance short-term feasibility with long-term sustainability?\n\n\n\n[Waste] In what ways might construction and demolition waste be transformed from a cost burden into a reliable source of secondary materials?\n\n\n\n[Waste] How might circular and low-carbon materials\, e.g. low-clinker cement or second-hand steel\, be more broadly adopted?\n\n\n\n[Regulation] What innovations in the EU’s policies (shaping and implementation) or standards can ease affordability concerns without sacrificing sustainability?\n\n\n\n[Data] How can data (governance and use)\, digitization and AI be harnessed to drive sustainability and affordability?\n\n\n\n[Skills] What are the key skills and capacities missing amongst both workers and companies. What kinds of partnerships or models are needed to bridge the gap swiftly – to be able to reap the competitiveness benefits from transforming and becoming innovative? \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n13:00 – 13:30 Registration & Networking \n\n\n\n13:30 – 14:15  \n\n\n\nWelcome Remarks by the Organisers \n\n\n\n\nKatarzyna Bałucka-Dębska\, Head of Policy and EU Affairs\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nMaryla Wojcieszek\, Vice-President and Co-Owner\, Huge Thing\n\n\n\n\nOpening Remarks:  \n\n\n\n\nData applied at neighbourhood level: The case of the Basque Region’s Building PassportAndoni Hidalgo\, Climate KIC / Basque Urban Agenda\, International Affairs AdvisorAnder Bilbao Figuero\, Ciclica\n\n\n\nOslo case – Public procurement leveraging lead markets creationPrzemysław Derwich & Paweł Kaczkan\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nPolish case study\n\n\n\nViews from the marketRepresentatives from ROBYG SA & Vantage SA\n\n\n\n\n14:15 – 15:45 Lab-Style Discussions and Q&A \n\n\n\nParticipants will join lab-style\, solution-focused discussions designed to move beyond sequential remarks and problem definition\, encouraging practical exchange and co-creation of solutions.

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:CoLab: Advancing green public-private partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Join our Community CoLab in Warsaw to design new models of public-private partnerships\, and identify business opportunities and coalitions across entrepreneurship\, education and research to push the climate innovation agenda \n\n\n\nTo reach the EU’s 2030 climate targets\, the EIB estimates we must allocate roughly 8% of our GDP. Unfortunately\, we are only at 5% GDP. We know that neither public nor private sector alone can solve the climate crisis\, they must work together. \n\n\n\nPublic-private partnerships are vital to turn ambitious green commitments of cities\, national governments and the EU into reality. By connecting urgent public demand with innovative business solutions and the latest research\, these collaborations unlock new markets and drive adaptation at the pace and scale our communities urgently need. \n\n\n\nClimate KIC invites you to join us in Warsaw\, Poland on Wednesday 22 October for an impactful Community Collaboration Laboratory (CoLab) focused on Advancing green public-private partnerships\, in collaboration with the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development and the University of Warsaw. We are inviting key stakeholders from public and private sectors\, national\, regional and local policymakers\, researchers\, industries\, and innovative entrepreneurs to join us. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll design new models of partnerships\, understand the demand of public stakeholders\, reflect on possible solutions at the nexus of research and business\, and identify opportunities to push the climate innovation agenda in Poland and beyond. \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\n14.30 – 15.00: Registration & coffee \n\n\n\n15.00 – 15.10: Welcome to the CoLabwith Magnus Harrison\, Community Relations and Partnership Manager\, Climate KIC   \n\n\n\n15.10 – 15.50: Fire side talk: Accelerating the green transition and business opportunities through public-private partnerships.Moderated by: Katarzyna Balucka-Debska\, Policy & EU Affairs Orchestrator\, Climate KIC. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nMichal Piwowarczyk\, Deputy Director\, Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy\n\n\n\nKrzysztof Gulda\, President\, Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP)\n\n\n\nAnna Brussa\, Industry Value Chains Director\, Climate KIC. \n\n\n\n\n15.50 – 16.00: Session introduction \n\n\n\n16.00 – 16.45: Round table discussions   \n\n\n\n\nUnlocking private and public capitalLed by Przemek Derwich\, EU Funding Specialist\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nBuilding and scaling competitive industriesLed by Anna Brussa\, Industry Value Chains Director\, Climate KIC.\n\n\n\nBridging innovation gapsLed by Magnus Harrison\, Community Relations and Partnership Manager\, Climate KIC  \n\n\n\n\n16.45 – 17.15: Plenary: Presentation of the round table discussionsModerated by Aleksandra Goldys\, Designer & Producer\, Industry Value Chains\, Climate KIC  \n\n\n\n17.15 – 18.00: Networking reception  \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: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:CoLab: Accelerating blue & green economy in Europe’s coastal communities
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop with experts\, industry leaders and public and private stakeholders and design with us new collaborations and practical opportunities to unlock the business potential in the blue and green economy for coastal aeras.\n\n\n\nEurope’s blue economy and coastal zones (communities\, cities\, regions and islands) make up an estimated 13% European landmass yet houses 40 % of Europe’s population and GDP\, making it a crucial pillar.  \n\n\n\nHowever\, climate change puts all of this is at risk. The challenges are numerous\, yet the economic gains are equally exponential. But we must act now! \n\n\n\nAgainst this background\, Climate KIC has started working with the Region of Sardinia\, in particular with its Innovation Agency Sardegna Ricerche through the Interreg project Nest4ESG. Together\, we support tasks and activities that foster innovation in the green and blue economy\, laying the groundwork for sustainable growth and systemic transformation in Sardinia and beyond. \n\n\n\nClimate KIC invites you to join us in Cagliari\, Italy on Thursday 2 October for an impactful Community Collaboration Laboratory (CoLab) focused on Accelerating Blue and Green Economy in coastal communities\, regions\, cities and territories. \n\n\n\nIn this Community CoLab\, we are inviting key stakeholders from public and private sectors\, marine and coastal industries\, environmental\, regional and local policymakers\, researchers\, and innovative entrepreneurs. Together\, we will seek to inspire while exploring new paths to foster sustainable development\, protect biodiversity\, and promote resilience in a changing climate. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is just the beginning. We’re kicking off a movement that brings together public and private players collaborating on practical opportunities to spark innovation and unlock new business potential in the blue and green economy. \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 here\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.
