Building Capacity and Partnerships for Systemic Solutions to the Climate and Biodiversity Crises

Mission

To address gaps in knowledge, skills, and competences in research and innovation (R&I) and support the green transition by contributing to halting biodiversity loss, and advancing climate mitigation and adaptation through capacity-building, networking, and knowledge exchange.

Vision

Building biodiversity and climate capacity at the national level, with a focus on widening countries, as well as at the European and global levels.

How will we do it?

Academic and SME partners provide expertise, support secondments, establish demonstration hubs in Widening Countries, and connect to international R&I. Non-Widening partners catalyse GREEN TALENT by enhancing capacity building, international cooperation, and joint R&I outcomes.
