Community
Each sector of society has a part to play as we work on the massive challenges of the climate and biodiversity crisis. These crises will not be solved by individual sectors – the challenges are too complex. We need to break down the silos between different players within sectors and between sectors to work together and collaborate as a community to address the urgent need for systemic and transformative change. IKC3 engages with leading Irish and European HEIs, companies, enterprise clusters, local government, civic, social innovators and nature. Through partnerships and engagement with a range of stakeholders across Ireland and Europe, IKC3 aims to deliver a step change in the development and deployment of education, innovation, collaborative and design thinking to enable us to adapt and transition to a decarbonised economy and sustainable society.
