What’s at stake
NGOs and universities are often the first line of environmental defense and the main centers of social and scientific innovation.
With the climate and circular transition underway, these actors must join forces with companies and municipalities to influence policies, train citizens and generate validated knowledge.
The problem
- Lack of accessible data: reports and environmental information are scattered and not always open.
- Environmental complaints without follow-up: citizens report pollution or illegal discharges, but often with no structured response.
- Limited funding: research projects and awareness campaigns compete for scarce resources.
- Fragmented knowledge: researchers, NGOs and municipalities work in silos, missing collaboration opportunities.
