Climathon
What is the Climathon
๐๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ป is a city-based, global programme that offers a pathway to climate action. An initiative was created a few years ago by EIT Climate-KIC in which small groups of enterprising or action-oriented citizens in different cities think about locally selected climate or sustainability challenges. The goal, then, is to find innovative solutions on how to tackle them concretely.
The global idea is to raise climate awareness, disrupt the status quo, and rethink the places we live in and the future we want as citizens. At the core of the Climathon programme is an ideathon. The ideathon, usually short and intense, brings different people with various backgrounds to brainstorm innovative ideas to tackle problems together.
Climathon Leuven 2021
It is actually the first time for Leuven, the European Capital of Innovation, to participate in global action to tackle climate challenges! The local initiative was taken by Leuven 2030 who recruited แช แฏ แ (Leuven Value Network) to co-host the event.
