Climate-KIC's COVID-19 Response Hub addresses the need for a simultaneous, multi-dimensional response to COVID-19 to address the devastating immediate impacts on people, health systems, and economy and longer-term considerations. This includes the need to act now to ensure that economic recovery is aligned with climate and SDG commitments. This hub will:
- Highlight existing, crisis-relevant innovations as well as opportunities to help amplify them.
- Launch a new Call for Proposals to address this crisis (in all its complexity), with grants funded by EIT.
- Offer a discussion forum for new collaborations and project ideas that can respond to this health crisis and support resilient societies and a green economic recovery.
- Address the need for a long-term “new normal” after COVID-19 and invite the submission of case studies and ideas as inspiration and policy inputs.
- Share positions and thought leadership on topics connected to this crisis.
