EIT Climate-KIC is a European knowledge and innovation community, working to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy. Supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, we identify and support innovation that helps society mitigate and adapt to climate change. We believe that a decarbonised, sustainable economy is not only necessary to prevent catastrophic climate change, but presents a wealth of opportunities for business and society.
EKLIPSE is an EU funded project that will set up a sustainable and innovating way of knowing, networking and learning about biodiversity and ecosystem services. The European Commission requested the EKLIPSE project to help building up an evidence and knowledge base on the benefits and challenges of applying NBSs. In response to the request, the EKLIPSE is an EU funded project that will set up a sustainable and innovating way of knowing, networking and learning about biodiversity and ecosystem services. The European Commission requested the EKLIPSE project to help building up an evidence and knowledge base on the benefits and challenges of...
The Smart Cities Information System (SCIS) is a knowledge platform to exchange data, experience and know-how and to collaborate on the creation of smart cities, providing a high quality of life for its citizens in a clean, energy efficient and climate friendly urban environment. SCIS brings together project developers, cities, research institutions, industry, experts and citizens from across Europe.
The Green and Blue Space Adaptation for Urban Areas and Eco Towns (GRaBS) project is a network of leading pan-European organizations involved in integrating climate change adaptation into regional planning and development. The project resulted in a number of resources, including the vulnerability and risk assessment tool, adaptation action plans developed by the participating local and regional authorities, a database of case studies presenting the use of green and blue space adaptation to climate change in urban areas around the world, and a number of expert papers. All resources are available from the project website.
The GREEN SURGE project was a collaborative project between 24 partners in 11 countries. The European Commission Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) funded it. GREEN SURGE intended to identify, develop and test ways of linking green spaces, biodiversity, people and the green economy in order to meet the major urban challenges related to land use conflicts, climate change adaptation, demographic changes, and human health and wellbeing. It elaborated a sound evidence base for urban green infrastructure planning and implementation, exploring the potential for innovation in better linking environmental, social and economic ecosystem services with...
GrowGreen aims to create climate and water resilient, healthy and liveable cities by investing in Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs). Making nature part of the urban living environment improves quality of life for all citizens and will help business to prosper. High quality green spaces and waterways provide innovative and inspiring solutions to major urban challenges, such as flooding, heat stress, drought, poor air quality and unemployment and will help biodiversity to flourish. By embedding NBSs in long term city planning, development and management, accessible green and blue spaces are a permanent feature of all urban areas around the world...
ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability is the leading global network of more than 1,500 cities, towns and regions committed to building a sustainable future. The ICLEI Network takes an integrated approach to sustainable development, striving to become sustainable, low-carbon, ecomobile, resilient, biodiverse, resource-efficient, healthy and happy, with a green economy and smart infrastructure.
INSPIRATION is a H2020 funded project. The main aim of INSPIRATION was to develop a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) to inform environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and economically affordable soil and land use management that meets societal needs and challenges. A SRA built on end-user knowledge needs is more likely to be enthusiastically adopted by funders in order to promote the knowledge creation, transfer and implementation agenda.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together.
NAIAD is an ambitious attempt, to operationalise the insurance value of ecosystems for water related risk mitigation, by developing and testing concepts, tools and applications on 9 demo sites across Europe, under the common concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs). At the core of the project is the physical and socio-economic analysis of demonstrator sites, supported with complex modelling and forecast activities, which will, in cooperation with the insurance sector, strive to propose NBSs as technically sound and financially viable option for investors at local level and higher and especially for the insurance sector.
