Welcome to 'How Could We? A Podcast by EIT Climate-KIC', presented by Anne-Sophie Garrigou. EIT Climate-KIC is Europe’s leading climate innovation initiative, aiming to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon, climate-resilient society by supporting innovative solutions helping society mitigate and adapt to climate change #SystemsChangeNow. We launched a podcast to shine a light on the solutions making a real difference. Our first series will focus on land use, sustainable forestry and the dilemma of using trees for timber. In this third episode, we interviewed Tena Petrovic, an urban specialist working with EIT Climate-KIC as a Breakthrough Initiative Developer on the Climate Smart Forest Economy Programme. Tena introduces us to the Bauhuette 4.0 project, which aims to use home-grown timber from regional Brandenburg and Berlin forests to supply construction materials to create affordable housing from wood Tena talked about the importance of bringing together different stakeholders on a project like this, the challenges of forest mismanagement and how long-term planning will lead to Bauhuette 4.0's success - and eventual replication.
