Resilient Regions

EIT Climate-KIC partner the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP), has published the 'Resilient Regions Reconnaissance Report.' The report tests modern-day assumptions—or paradigms—to uncover new and innovative ways the Resilient Regions Deep Demonstration can tackle climate change.

Home to one third of Scotland’s population and provider of 33 per cent of the nation’s jobs, the Glasgow City Region is at risk from climate change. The project Clyde Rebuilt aims to identify a variety of innovations that can be explored, combined, applied and scaled in the region. Clyde Rebuilt is one chapter of the EIT Climate-KIC Deep Demonstration of Resilient Regions.

To change a system, we need to first understand it—and this includes understanding its stakeholders, dynamics and risks. Could policy simulations facilitate this deeper learning?

EIT Climate-KIC will be taking part in the Climate Adaptation Summit (CAS), held online on 25 and 26 January.

Innovation can help overcome the climate adaptation gap and create jobs in the new adaptation economy, but only if we seize the moment, writes EIT Climate-KIC Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Tom Mitchell.

The new Urban Action Kit, supported by EIT Climate-KIC, offers a guidebook and activity cards for community organisations working on urban climate resilience. The kit features a case study from EIT Climate-KIC’s Resilient Regions Deep Demonstration.
