EPICO KlimaInnovation

About

EPICO KlimaInnovation is a registered non-profit association that acts as an independent market-based and innovation-oriented think tank and policy-oriented network. EPICO KlimaInnovation develops sustainable, market- and innovation-oriented strategies for climate neutrality from the centre of society, which are anchored to socially just and equitable transformations, and contributes to their implementation. The organisation is a think tank that advances constructive climate and energy policies with clear concepts and viable, balanced solutions. EPICO KlimaInnovation develops sound positions and analyses, develops arguments and narratives, and makes its ideas widely accessible through publications. The organisation creates a network that brings together key actors in climate and energy policy to set and implement a socially broad-based agenda. EPICO KlimaInnovation offers a platform for actors from politics, business, science and civil society to engage, consult, contribute, and advance solution-oriented approaches. A consistent focus on climate neutrality and the Paris Climate Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C offers the opportunity for sustainable growth that preserves well-being and quality of life and promotes the cohesion and resilience of society. The pre-requisite is that the transition to a zero-emission, competitive economy in all sectors is significantly accelerated and fairly designed through innovation. EPICO KlimaInnovation is convinced that climate and energy policy that relies on the dynamics of competition and innovation is the key to reliably and efficiently reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gases and thereby reconciling environmental and climate protection, sustainable economic growth and socially just and equitable outcomes.
