GIZ Support Project for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Climate Action (BMWK) as well as the German Federal Foreign Office (AA), the IKI Support Project for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement (SPA), led by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), aims to strengthen global initiatives and networks that support partner countries in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, increasing their adaptability and delivering ambitious reporting. This cooperation also promotes the development of platforms for political and technical dialogue and the exchange of knowledge between countries regarding the issues of climate change mitigation, biological diversity, disaster risk management and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. The project develops and hosts suitable formats, organises conferences and workshops and provides analyses, knowledge products and successful case studies on transparency, long-term strategies (LTS) and the implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

adelphi manages a broad pool of experts that provide targeted support to the SPA project on the international climate regime as well as for topics beyond the UNFCCC architecture, such as green finance or sectoral mitigation measures. The experts from adelphi and its partner organisations Öko-Institut and IISD create knowledge products, provide ad-hoc policy advice and contribute to designing international cooperation activities, including trainings and capacity building formats. Furthermore, the pool provides effective communication services and professional event management. To suit the needs of diverse partner countries, the experts’ support is available in multiple languages, including French, Spanish and Portuguese.
