  1. We are on course for disastrous +3C. • We have 12 years left until the point of no return. Most of us will still be alive then! • Urgent and unprecedented changes are needed to reach the target. The target is affordable and feasible.The final tick box is political/policy will! • Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 OCTOBER 2018 REPORT Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): Urgency of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Beyond which …the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people, significantly worsen!

  7. EIT Climate-KIC Hub GreeceMission Statement • We will mobilize global and national scientific and technological expertise to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy, through CleanTech Innovation and Entrepreneurship • We will accelerate technological innovation that will address the interconnected economic, social, and environmental challenges that Greece is facing today • We will reinforce collaboration between: • Research & Education • Business, Financial Institutions & Private Funds • Civil Society, Policymakers & Stakeholders Vision • Becoming the “incubator of incubators” • Expanding a regional climate innovation movement and eventually bridging the knowledge gap in CleanTech development between Western Europe and the South-East Mediterranean • Creating of a prosperous, inclusive, climate-resilient society with a circular, zero-carbon economy Long-term impact Preventing catastrophic climate change through innovative climate-smart solutions

  8. How? 1) Creating networks of expertise Partners from the private sector, academia and the public, will create networks of expertise through which innovative products, services and systems, can be developed, brought to market and scaled-up for impact 2) Leveraging grants smartly & effectively Identify and place public and private funds that stimulate innovation 3) Catalysing innovation Nurturing innovation from large corporations, research institutes and public bodies through to start-ups and individual entrepreneurs 4) Developing people & capacity Education programs for postgraduate students and professionals, to develop skills and capacities

  9. Anticipated impact for Greece • Promoting innovative CleanTech start-ups & companies towards the limitation of lignite production • Working towards the achievement of 2030 targets for a low carbon economy • Providing policy guidance to Ministries for the sustainable growth of Green Entrepreneurship • Promoting decentralized energy production • Reverting Brain drain effect that resulted in the migration of 427.000 Greeks that produced €16 Billion for other countries
