¡Nos vemos en la COP25!
Nos encantaría verte en la COP25 en Madrid, ¡Ven y participa en algunos de los eventos que EIT Climate-KIC ha organizado con motivo de la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático! La emergencia climática está aquí y la demanda de medidas climáticas que se ajusten a la escala y urgencia del desafío es cada vez mayor. La innovación es esencial, pero tal y como se está aplicando hasta ahora, centrada en suministrar al mercado soluciones tecnológicas, no está alcanzando el objetivo de limitar el calentamiento global a 1,5º. Necesitamos un nuevo modelo de innovación para hacer frente al cambio climático. Necesitamos innovación para catalizar el cambio sistémico. En la COP25 compartiremos ejemplos de nuestro trabajo y escucharemos a los miembros de nuestra comunidad de innovación paneuropea sobre las muchas maneras diferentes en que podemos pensar y actuar de manera sistémica para abordar el desafío climático mundial. Puedes saber más sobre nuestro “enfoque de innovación sistémica” para abordar el cambio climático aquí: Work with us to achieve net zero, in time.

Disruptive technologies and the balance between impact and unintended consequences
EU Pavillion – Room Brussels
Emerging technologies have given the world unprecedented potential to address humanity’s most pressing challenges.
The Climate Ledger Initiative (CLI) (i.e. Gold Standard and INFRAs our partners with others) assesses the landscape of emerging digital technologies to identify those most effective for operationalizing policy instruments of the Paris Agreement and accelerating progress to meet the 1.5 degree temperature limit. CLI launches the second edition of the Navigating Blockchain for Climate Action report, featuring progress from use cases including recommendations for further exploration, implementation, and scaling up. EIT Climate-KIC will talk about practical approaches, innovation models and frameworks for whole system transformation initiatives through connected portfolio-based interventions. This part of the session will provide a practical approach of how to deliberately design for change in high complexity environments to ensure solutions are maximized towards impact and not result in being long-term problems.

Connecting the dots
FEMA -Feria de Madrid, Capacity Building Hub, Hall 4, Avda. del Partenón, 5
Join the interactive sprints on Digitalization & Blockchain, Climate Action and Education.
This workshop addresses several topics relevant to the overall architecture of the Paris Agreement and where blockchain and other innovative technologies will help accelerate climate action, eg, registries, digitizing MRV, renewable energy, and climate finance. The aim is to bring actors with diverse backgrounds together at COP, exchange learnings and build capacity to identify benefits and risks at the intersection of digitalization and climate action in order to support Paris Agreement implementation.
A meaningful debate on digitalization and climate action based on field experiences will be facilitated through an interactive World Café setting. Small moderated roundtable discussions will allow participants to dive deeply into topics of their interest and expertise. The workshop will also initiate a process to share knowledge and exchange experience beyond COP 25. All conclusions and reflections of this session will be made publicly available.

Making the Circular Economy Happen
Nordic Pavillion
This side event will discuss the impact of the circular economy to the existing market econonmy in its present form.
After the introduction of the concept of circular economy only few years ago the concept has gained a lot of attention and momentum. However, sometimes is seems to be dealt with as a quick fix that just needs to be implemented. But CE is not an easy fix. I.e. internalization of externalities in terms of environmental consequences is still not the new norm and the existing market economy in its present form simply cannot implement circular economy alone. Political leadership and policy instrument is needed.
