We are now Climate KIC!

Overview

We are now Climate KIC!

As a part of EIT, we became Europe’s leading climate innovation agency and community. Now, as we close this chapter and relaunch as an independent foundation, we remain committed to our mission to catalyse systems change in places through innovation and radical collaboration.  

We’re proud to unveil our new name and brand, both reflections of how far we’ve come and our vision for the future.  

New brand. Same drive.

Our bold new brand reflects our conviction that the way forward is anything but linear. It is a dynamic pathway of difficult, interconnected choices; but it is also a pathway filled with beauty and opportunities.

15 years of climate innovation

Kirsten Dunlop, CEO

Our CEO reflects on how to navigate in uncertain times

I joined Climate KIC in January 2017, just as NASA confirmed that our planet was experiencing record-breaking warming for the third consecutive year. It was a time of profound global disruption. People in the UK had just voted to leave the EU, Donald Trump had won the US election against Hillary Clinton, and a brutal military crackdown on the Rohingya was happening in Myanmar.

I stepped into this role with a deep conviction in humanity’s ability to learn, adapt, and build a climate-resilient future. I still have that conviction – pessimism is a luxury we cannot afford – but I have come to understand more about the depth and breadth of the challenges we face, beyond what I had imagined, and what it will take to rise to them.
