Climate KIC will host a session at the 18th European Week of Regions and Cities<\/em><\/a> to share on-the-ground insights from cities engaging citizens in ambitious energy transitions for systemic change. <\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to work in climate change or city planning to have heard the ubiquitous term \u2018build back better\u2019, or to be lectured that cities are \u2018at the frontline\u2019 of COVID-19 and \u2018testbeds\u2019 for green recovery strategies. (Though we have certainly made these points many times!)<\/p>\n

Collaboration, systemic change and citizen engagement are other buzzwords and entreaties, and Google Alerts for \u2018systemic change\u2019 are starting to get much more copious, and interesting, including this article in the Financial Times \u2013 Building back better requires systemic shifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is it possible to overcomplicate the big picture stuff? Are incrementalism and technological innovation the straw man of systemic change?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to think so, but intention and systems impacts matter. Here\u2019s a nice definition from Micha Narberhaus of Virtual Teams for Systemic Change<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cSystemic change is required when efforts to change one aspect of a system fail to fix the problem. The whole system needs to be transformed. Systemic change means that change has to be fundamental and affects how the whole system functions. Systemic change can [in some cases] mean gradual institutional reforms, but those reforms must be based on and aimed at a transformation of the fundamental qualities and tenets of the system itself.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

For this reason, \u2018stories\u2019 of systemic change can be thought of as episodic \u2018case studies in motion\u2019, certainly at this point in our journey towards systemic change.<\/p>\n

So how do we decide which interventions have \u2018systems impacts\u2019 and which perpetuate negative patterns or introduce new ones? How can we understand which combinations of innovations \u2013 across education, technology, art, finance, procurement, citizen engagement and other relevant levers of change \u2013 offer a fast track to emissions reductions, economic health and social justice?<\/p>\n

Climate KIC has set up a framework for working with Europe\u2019s most ambitious cities, to help us map and understand the interacting local and big picture systems that drive unwanted outcomes in cities, and to build portfolios of joined-up innovations aimed at place-based transformations.<\/p>\n

Milan, Madrid and Amsterdam are just three of the fifteen cities in the first cohort of our Deep Demonstration of Healthy, Clean Cities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Join Climate KIC CEO Kirsten Dunlop and our city partners online at #EURegionsWeek on 20 October 2020 to hear some early insights from these \u2018case studies in motion\u2019 and to register your interest in joining the programme\u2019s second wave, as a funder of ambitious systemic change or as a city government. <\/strong><\/p>\n
