Climate changes pose major challenges to the city of Lisbon: what consequences can we predict from heat waves, droughts and heavy rain on ecosystems, people’s health and quality of life, agriculture and water resources?
At the same time, these challenges bring opportunities for innovation and sustainable businesses development that enable the city to adapt and become greener.
ImpactHub Lisbon aims to bring together various actors in society that are committed to create responses to climate change, so they can find solutions together and potentiate the success of businesses in this area.
The EcoInnovation Lab will be a space for discussion, networking and experimentation, created by the participants themselves: eco-preneurs, NGOs, businesses, universities, research centres, public authorities and all stakeholders interested in contributing to the topic.
In this first event, we invite the community of eco-preneurs, public institutions, companies, academia, or others for, during a late afternoon:
·  Reflect on the challenges of climate change in Lisbon
·  Think together what opportunities do these challenges raise
·  Share success stories, learned lessons and experiences
·  Get to know people with different backgrounds and perspectives but with a common goal.
This will be the kick-off for an initiative that seeks to be regular and which aims to play an important role in the city of Lisbon, also integrating a global network of innovation laboratories in response to climate change.
