OUR MISSION

Tackling climate change from the ground up.

The impacts of climate change are all around us, coming even harder and faster than the models predicted.

When global climate politics is stifling, it’s our turn to move.

Unprecedented times call for new heroes. Heroes that care about their city, their community.

When business-as-usual is blind to the scale of the crisis we’re facing, we can envision a better future.

Mobilizing citizens around the world to collaborate and take collective action, that is what Climathon is about.

When faith in policies to fix the problem is fading, our hope rests in people like you and your community.

Climathon is a stage for those that want to act on behalf of the needs of our planet.

WHAT IS CLIMATHON?

We raise awareness about local climate challenges and share climate-relevant learnings

Build or strengthen local ecosystems

Inspire projects and climate action that address systemic problems leading to climate change locally

As citizens, what future do we want?

Climathon, orchestrated by EIT Climate-KIC, is a global movement of self-organized events in cities aimed at laying the groundwork for transformational change.

We can raise climate awareness and increase our impact by bringing communities together to collaborate and create ideas for the cities of tomorrow. Since 2015, Climathon has involved:

TAKING ACTION

Many of the biggest challenges facing cities are difficult to overcome because they are the results of complex systems interacting with one another.

Achieving large-scale impact requires understanding how the current system operates and interacts (for instance, what brought us to the climate crisis) before we can begin to develop ideas for transformative changes.

Climathon provides a starting point for those who want to gain understand their local challenges and bring about profound change and solutions to our most pressing challenges.
