Climate Solutions for Change Makers

We Flourish

We focus on supporting gender equality and climate justice in innovation and clean tech for climate change mitigation and adaptation in Scotland and other demonstration places around the planet.
Our programmes increase self-confidence & self-esteem to make the right choices and align with positive values:
Raise aspirations to achieve what is best foreveryone. F eel safe in a secure environment and not be judged.
B eing able to gain further support from other agencies and organisations, if needed.
B eing able to build on personal growth by accessing sustainability literacy, creative arts, STEM and personal development tools
Using leadership tools, involving art and science medium, 'We Flourish Programmes' seek to help facilitate self-expression and promote deeper understanding of our changing cultural identities.
Arts and science together open new insights into shared cultural and intercultural futures that need to be reimagined and co-created with a sense of ethical obligations, exploration, openness, and reflexivity.
Through art, imagination and science based on the natural world, using the Munari's design methodology together with the Wellbeing Economy tools, individuals and groups actively exert citizenship and propagate ethics, influence public opinion and encourage action of their peers in regard to climate change, its root cause and related challenges. often leading to the introduction of paradigm-shifting technologies and changes in the way we live.

Climate Innovation Hub is led by Aurora, Climate-KIC Community Member who has demonstrated achievements in the field of climate change mitigation and adaptation and fills an expertise/innovation gap in a strategic area of the Community.
The role of the hub is to provide incubation, capacity building services and financing females and young entrepreneurs and new ventures that are developing climate and circular economy innovative and measurable impact solutions across the key regional economic sectors of circular economy, energy, sustainable land use, tourism, food and drink and bioeconomy to address climate change challenges.
With Incubators and accelerators we play an important role in addressing these challenges by providing crucial support to start-ups, small firms and entrepreneurs. We reduce climate risk, helping young female leaders and entrepreneurs to transform inventions into technologies that meet societal needs.
We act as local intermediary institutions, strengthening the national ecosystem that nurtures entrepreneurship and the growth of small businesses. We facilitate linkages between entrepreneurs, other innovation actors and potential markets of suppliers and buyers, leading to the development of products that are marketable and enhance welfare. We also help entrepreneurs to connect with sources of finance, providing them with the means to innovate

The world of imagination, science and technology can be hard to keep up with.
At the CHI we use the science-based targets and doughnut economics key performance indicators to measure success.
A KPI, or Key Performance Indicator, is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively an organisation is meeting its objectives. We work with standards set by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, (EIT) uses KPIs to assess business and organisation's performance.
We measure progress to better encapsulate societal challenge.
Climate Innovation Hub was established to function as an integrated collaborative group, and to coordinate climate innovation in and for the North of Scotland in cooperation with other countries. We support our community members by providing access to an ecosystem to engage with each other, by building a network that is recognised internationally in the field of climate change innovation and by supporting its community members in identifying, developing and bringing climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
The Climate Innovation Hub is an initiative led by Aurora Sustainability Group and supported by the International Research and Recycling Institute, along with the Glasgow School of Art Innovation School Campus in Moray. It is the first climate innovation initiative in the North of Scotland in cooperation with European Countries, India and Singapore.
