2. Raison d’être Need to anticipate and prevent Climate change through adaptation and mitigation Tensions resulting from fossile energy reduced availability Need to develop Climate Resilient economies and societies Smarter energy systems Low carbon production systems Measurement and verification tools
3. Climate KICAn Integrated Strategy for Climate Change Innovation Water Management and adaptation Climate Assessment and drivers Cities - Resilient and low Carbon Production Zero Carbon systems 3 Source: IPCC AR4 WGII
4. Specific challenges Emerging market(s) New value chains to be identified & developed Needs & opportunities depend from public regulation and policies
5. Approach The KIC : - Brings together the stakeholders of the knowledge triangle Research Education Innovation - Integrates activities within its 4 pillars: Innovation Pathfinder Education Entrepreneurship - Attempts to move toward open innovation Business 5
6. The 4 pillars Climate-KIC Innovations …creates promising new collaborations and pioneers new value-chain configurations. Climate-KIC Education …attractsanddevelopsfutureclimateentrepreneursandchangeagents. …builds platforms to connect and support the wider climate entrepreneurship community. Climate-KIC Entrepreneurship … creates new pathways to low-carbon prosperity by fostering the conditions for ongoing innovation. Climate-KIC Pathfinder 6
