The climate crisis is a complex global issue threatening the way we live and its impacts are being felt more more severely around the world. We wonder: how could we have let this happen? People increasingly recognise that gradual change is not enough. Join EIT Climate-KIC for a series of conversations about building hope, curiosity – and excitement – for a just and desirable future. We’ll hear from some remarkable people who are putting truly transformative and innovative solutions into practice. We’ll ask them: "How could we achieve a climate-resilient, inclusive world for everybody?"
