IKI INTERFACE

The International Climate Initiative (IKI) is an important part of the German government’s international climate finance commitment. Since 2022 the IKI is implemented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the Federal Foreign Office (AA). Embedded within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the work of IKI focuses on four areas: greenhouse gas mitigation; adaptation to the impacts of climate change; conserving biological diversity; and conserving natural carbon sinks with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). This makes IKI an essential instrument for the funding of international climate change mitigation and biodiversity projects in developing, emerging, and transition countries.

Since the formation of the International Climate Initiative in 2008, IKI funds have been deployed in a total of 151 countries. Currently, IKI funds are being used to implement projects in 149 countries.

China has become a prominent actor and indispensable partner in international climate, environment and biodiversity protection. Recognizing the important role China plays regarding climate change, biodiversity, and the environment, the International Climate Initiative (IKI) has been engaging with China in a political dialogue on these issues since 2009. Both governments are united in their conviction that the ambitious transformation towards a sustainable economy can only be achieved through international cooperation.

The IKI works particularly closely with a selection of priority countries, among which is China. IKI projects in China have covered all four IKI topics, and in recent years have increasingly focused on low carbon development strategies. Furthermore, the work is centered on sustainable mobility, mobilizing sustainable finance, circular economy, and carbon markets, to name a few. The main instruments employed are policy dialogue, pilot measures, expert exchanges, and capacity development. IKI projects in China are implemented by over 20 organizations, such as GIZ, the World Bank Group, the WWF, and others.

Bilateral Project

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

This project is not directly financed by IKI but by the NAMA Facility which itself receives funding from IKI. The NAMA Facility plays a leading role in supporting transformational sector-based approaches to tackling Climate Change by supporting countries in the implementation of nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMA). The NAMA Facility was established in 2012 by the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom.
