What do we do?
Innovation is a necessity to respond to the challenges posed by the goals of climate mitigation, adaptation and financing. This is required not only in the development and implementation of technologies, but also in the public realm, with innovative services and policies, and through business models.
The Hub for Innovation, Climate and Biodiversity implements different mechanisms to facilitate innovation and connect governments, companies, academia, start-ups, youth and think tanks with a community of leading climate innovation organizations in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica has experience in sustainability and conservation of natural resources, which has allowed it to create conditions to achieve ambitious climate goals. His leadership and international recognition inspire other countries in the region that learn from these experiences. In this platform, a series of innovative climate actions are made available that can inspire other countries, and motivate the exchange of experiences, and the development of South-South and triangular cooperation with an emphasis on climate innovation. This will allow monitoring and promoting the implementation of the NDCs in the region.
Goals
Contribute to the implementation of climate and biodiversity goals and to the just economic transition through the development of innovative approaches, the transfer of experiences and the dissemination of knowledge.
- Support the transfer of knowledge between peers to promote the implementation of the climate and biodiversity goals of the countries of the region.
- Offer technical support for the development of innovative solutions oriented towards climate and biodiversity goals based on the experience and lessons learned from Costa Rica.
- Contribute to articulate and disseminate with decision makers the advances and opportunities of technology and innovation for the implementation of climate goals (eg NDC) and biodiversity.
Mechanisms
Several mechanisms and tools are currently being developed to promote innovation processes in the climate agenda, strengthening internal institutional capacities and accompanying the development of innovative approaches.
