Transitions
Cities account for 70 per cent of worldwide emissions, but they are also at the heart of the solution.
We actively accelerate the transformation of buildings, infrastructure and transport systems to be low carbon and resilient.
EIT Climate-KIC is a European knowledge and innovation community, working towards a prosperous, inclusive, climate-resilient society founded on a circular, zero-carbon economy.
Keeping global temperature rise below 2˚C necessitates unprecedented change: new social dynamics, ways of doing business, capital flows, policymaking, economic models, and new ways of living. No one organisation can solve climate change on its own.
We catalyse the rapid innovation needed across sectors by convening the brightest minds to tackle challenges, empowering leaders through capacity building, and seed funding the most promising climate-positive businesses.

The industrial sector is responsible for a third of total global GHG emissions.
We lay the foundations for carbon-neutral manufacturing systems and material flows in urban areas and industrial regions, through circular economy principles and creating added value among stakeholders.
Agriculture, forestry and other land uses account for 24 per cent of greenhouse gases emissions, second only to energy production.
We pave the way for efficient, low-carbon agriculture, advancing the bio-economy, and building resilience into food and forest value chains.
There is no lack of finance - but there is a lack of bankable green assets.
We develop metrics and financial mechanisms that matter in order to mobilise and redirect the finance needed to quickly scale-up climate action.
