DESCRIPTION
The Joint Actions on Climate Change Conference will consist of representatives of governments, industry, retailers, researchers as well as NGOs, consumer organisations and the financial sector. It will bring these stakeholders together with the aim of fostering a fruitful dialogue and bridging gaps in views and positions on how innovation and design can tackle the crisis of climate change. This conference will be a building block towards setting targets for the COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.TRANSCRIPT

what does the Ecodesign Centre do?
established in September 2006
through core funding from the Welsh Assembly Government
•applied research
(knowledge creation)– demonstrations with industry
•knowledge hub
(knowledge transfer)– policy – academia – education/training resource development and delivery
•international partnerships

climate change is not ‘a problem’
waiting for ‘a solution’

it is an environmental, cultural and political phenomenon

it is multi-dimensional

our response requires a heavy dose of creativity

new roles for business / new roles for government

lots of great programmes and initiatives on ecodesign
regulatory frameworksinformation servicesdemonstration projectsR&D financinggrants‘brokering’
services
BUT…
it is still not mainstream in design/innovation -
especially in SMEs…

market failure
neo-classical economics
linear tools of innovation
addressing inputs rather than system
supporting firms in isolation
systems failure
evolutionary economics
innovation systems
knowledge & interactive learning
actors, infrastructure and culture
networks
capacity building frameworks
principles underlying interventions

to enable ecodesign/creativity/innovation we require?
different forms of intervention
–
strategic competencies, capacity building
an innovation system perspective
–
knowledge, interaction, (clusters, brokerage, mobility schemes)
policy instruments that address changes in behaviour for innovation, dealing with strategic, informational, or organisational
needs
an exploration of new (possibly informal) support channels
-
e.g. VC or informal risk capitalists, entrepreneur networks, foresight programmes
greater policy coherence
(supply and demand side) with “open borders”

The stimulus for re-invention and for questioning the status quo has probably never been greater
