Climathon, orchestrated by EIT Climate-KIC, is a global movement of self-organised events in cities aimed at laying the groundwork for transformational change.
A Climathon:
Learn from inspiring talks from knowledgeable professionals and experts in the climate industry.
Our Climathon will provide a choice of interesting and thought-provoking challenges relating to climate change for you and your team to solve.
We will provide mentors to offer guidance and advice to you and your team.
Meet new faces and make new friends over two days of engagement with like-minded people.
Gain valuable skills and knowledge from our training sessions and workshops.
Participants will have the opportunity to compete for team prizes. The nature of the prizes vary from event to event, as it depends on the sponsors.
All participants will receive a digital Certificate of Participation for successfully completing the programme.
Participating teams will have an opportunity to take professional photos together.
Our next Climathon will cover the following topics:
One of our challenges would focus on protecting and restoring natural habitats in urban spaces.
We will be looking for a specific solution that can promote nature-based solutions, ecosystem resilience, enlarging green spaces, conserving endangered species, or restoring degraded landscapes.
Another challenge would focus on enhancing sustainable mobility while raising awareness and fostering a green mindset.
This may include reducing carbon emissions and promoting green mobility. Additionally, it encourages the creation of environmentally friendly common spaces and builds a culture of sustainability.
Note: The final detailed schedule will be shared when the programme is officially launched.
3 Nov 2023
The GiLE Foundation hosted the previous Climathon on the 3rd of Nov 2023.
Our last event covered the following:
Encouraging Green Mobility Adoption: The challenge focused on finding effective ways to motivate people to switch from traditional car usage to sustainable transportation options, such as public transport and electric vehicles.
Scaling Sustainable Transportation: Participants were tasked with developing strategies to implement green mobility solutions on a large scale, ensuring widespread adoption and long-term sustainability.
Overcoming Barriers to Change: The challenge addressed the gap between people’s willingness to adopt green mobility and the actual low usage rates, aiming to identify solutions to overcome these barriers and promote environmental benefits.
