Yet, around the world, people are building resilience, creating community, and fighting back. In this podcast, we ask: How did we let this happen? And how can we accelerate change? We explore the climate crisis’s roots and channel our interviewees’ ideas. Through conversations that spark hope and curiosity, we hear from remarkable people who are putting transformative and innovative ideas into practice. We ask them: "How can we create a climate-resilient, just and beautiful world?"Climate-KIC Ciencia Historia Natural Naturaleza y Ecología

  • S9 E2 - How Could We? Decrease buildings' temperatures in cities

    S9 E2 - How Could We? Decrease buildings' temperatures in cities
    Jun 24 2025

    Welcome to the latest episode of How Could We?, recorded live at the ChangeNOW summit in Paris - an event focused on showcasing sustainable solutions and profiling sustainability leaders making an impact.

    This week, Anne-Sophie Garrigou interviews Eytan Levi, Co-Founder of Roofscapes. Focused on adapting existing roofs and buildings to a changing climate, Roofscapes uses timber platforms to make previously untapped roofs shadier and greener, thereby reducing thermal discomfort, increasing biodiversity anchors, and offering new outdoor spaces in cities.

    Eytan talks about how an inspiration for founding Roofscapes was his Paris upbringing, how timber platforms can dramatically reduce temperatures - even during heatwaves - the importance of involving people who live in the buildings Roofscapes works on, and invites listeners to visit Roofscapes’ pilot project at L’Académie du Climat in Paris.

    This episode is part of Climate KIC’s #LiveableCities Campaign 2025, which highlights our leadership in transforming cities across Europe into climate-resilient, just, and regenerative places. Through initiatives like NetZeroCities, CitiES 2030, Climathon, EIT Community New European Bauhaus and the Pilot Cities Programme, we support local governments and communities in creating scalable solutions to tackle climate challenges. By showcasing diverse approaches - from citizen engagement and innovative financing to sustainable mobility and urban heat mitigation - this campaign amplifies the stories behind the systems change we’re helping to orchestrate.

    S8E3 - How Could We? Redefine leadership for a renewable future
    May 13 2025
    It’s the final episode of our leadership-focused series, recorded live at the Paris REALITY Tour. The event was organised by The Climate Reality Project and aims to build public momentum and political will for ambitious climate commitments leading up to COP 30 in Brazil.This week, Anne-Sophie Garrigou is interviewing Rana Adib, Executive Director of REN21. A policy network and a multistakeholder governance group, REN21 promotes renewable energy as a solution to accelerate climate action. In this episode, Rana talks about the importance of integrating sustainability across economic sectors and policymaking, how combining technical ‘hard’ skills and transversal ‘soft’ skills are equally important in the shift away from fossil fuels, as well as the need to balance storytelling with facts and figures when communicating about climate change.Rana also talked about REN21’s REboot the world campaign and its Renewables 2024 Global Status Report.—If you enjoyed this episode, we recommend listening to episode two from this season, which saw Gosia Rychlik, Branch Manager at The Climate Reality Project, talk about the role of storytelling in effective climate leadership - as well as how taking action at a local level can impact a global problem like climate change.You should also check out this season’s first episode with Climate KIC’s Marina Gil Velasco, where we discussed the recently-launched Climate KIC Academy - supported by EIT - and how Climate KIC is tackling the green skills gap.
