Our vision is a climate positive, resilient, regenerative and thriving Australia for all.
Climate-KIC’s mission is to inspire and enable climate action by catalysing systems change.
Our vision is a climate positive, resilient, regenerative and thriving Australia for all.
Over time we seek to transform Australia’s current systems and work to contribute to the following long-term outcomes:
Global warming limited to 1.5°C; achieving net zero carbon emissions and beyond
Strengthened climate resilience and adaptive capacity
Strong climate innovation ecosystems that lead in a just, green economy
We play an orchestrating role, often together with delivery partners, to develop and deliver transformative systems innovation activities with diverse sets of stakeholders. Together with our collaboration network, we bring systems change intent and agency, working with diverse stakeholders using a broad range of skills, capabilities and knowledge that increases the effectiveness and scale of our impact.
We work independently as part of the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures.
No single organisation or individual can solve the climate challenge, nor change systems on their own. We work with a broad network of organisations and stakeholders to develop and deliver systems innovation activities.
