From Kigali to São Paulo, Taipei to Berlin, we provide access to spaces, resources, networks, knowledge, talent, and investment to transform ideas into impactful action. The time is now.

Climate KIC is Europe's foremost climate innovation agency: an international non-profit Foundation that for over 16 years has been embedded in the places where climate ambition meets the friction of the real world. Partnering with governments, multilateral institutions, philanthropies, and the private sector, we mobilise large-scale climate action across cities, regions, and value chains, using systems innovation as a service. Our core craft is orchestration, connecting promising solutions, aligning policy and finance, and integrating the pieces so that whole systems tip towards decarbonisation, regeneration and climate resilience faster than any single intervention could achieve. Active in 70+ countries, we bridge the implementation gap between climate commitments and current reality. Join us in working towards a just, climate resilient, beautiful future.
