The ⁠Climate-KIC⁠ team was at Climate Week NYC to explore potential collaborations with organisations and climate leaders driving the transition towards a more just, beautiful, and climate-resilient future. We used this opportunity to interview incredible experts from our community and bring you a new series of How Could We?

In this episode, we sit down with Eva Gladek, CEO of Metabolic, one of the 15 organisations of the Systemic Climate Action Collaborative co-founded by EIT Climate-KIC.

Eva talks about the climate finance gap, often called the "Missing Trillions." She explains that trillions of dollars are needed annually to support fundamental climate mitigation and adaptation efforts—like retrofitting buildings, decarbonising mobility systems, and regenerating land—yet only a small portion of the necessary funds are being mobilised.

Together, we explore why this money isn’t flowing, where the bottlenecks lie, and what has been happening to prevent these essential investments from reaching their intended targets.

Climate-KIC is also opening its Community membership to individuals. If you’re interested to learn more, visit Climate HIVE.
