On October 13th 2023, the lead partners of
the two Interreg projects, IB-Green and Clim’Ability Care, Climate Alliance and INSA Strasbourg met in Karlsruhe,
Germany. Clim’Ability Care aims at
raising awareness of Upper Rhine companies for climate change, especially SMEs.
This aspect links the goals of IB-Green and Clim’Ability Care: Within IB-Green,
one central challenge and aim is to make companies and private stakeholders of
industrial and business areas in North-West Europe aware of the need of climate
adaptation and especially to push them towards activities in this area.
Project partners of IB-Green can
potentially profit from the work of Clim’Ability Care, especially from the so called
Clim’ability Diag: this online self-diagnostic
tool helps companies to estimate their sensitivity to climatic hazards and
understand risks and opportunities in the context of climate change. Further,
Clim’Ability Care helps them to identify priorities in their business
development strategy. This free-to-use tool can be used by any company that
wishes to create a first diagnosis of how climate change will impact their
activities in the future.
Following this informal exchange, the group had the chance to participate in a landing game session which was developed by Clim’Ability Design. The landing game is a discussion game that explores the future of critical zones of the Upper Rhine region. Its aim is together different stakeholders around the table like companies, researchers, associations, citizens and other actors to discuss possible courses of action in the face of climate change.
