W-Foundation

Background

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges ever faced by human social, political and economic systems.
Its impacts are visible now, with the rising sea levels, extreme weather events and biodiversity losses we have experienced these last years.
Their severity could increase exponentially in the absence of bold responses. At stake is the survival of humankind.
Innovation has been used by humans through ages to cope with changes and discover new opportunities.
Under the current paradigm, innovation is primarily used as a tool to foster competitive advantage and sustained growth. Applied to address climate change, however, it is expected to deliver transformative climate solutions.
