Climate-KIC Australia was formed with the specific intention of driving systems transformation. Our approach provides structure for communities to come together to identify portfolios of interventions that will create transformation.
Climate-KIC’s Impact Report 2021-22 shows the significant progress we are making as an organisation with our partners. We are growing our organisation, increasing the variety and scale of our activities and invigorating our approaches.
This year has seen us further increase our focus on processes for system innovation. We have built capacity within our organisation and leveraged our close relationship with EIT Climate-KIC and their work in the space. As a result, we have more robust systems and processes to facilitate system innovation and our programs of work are showing the benefits.
