Bilateral Component of Capacity Development for Climate Policy in Eastern, Southeastern Europe, Southern Caucasus and Central Asia, Phase III (CDCPIII)

CDCPI­I­I’s col­lab­o­ra­tion with Ukraine through the bilat­er­al com­po­nent “Capac­i­ties for Cli­mate Action (C4CA) is enhanc­ing the capa­bil­i­ties of gov­ern­ment enti­ties at all lev­els to sup­port in for­mu­lat­ing evi­dence-based cli­mate poli­cies. As part of this effort, the estab­lish­ment of the Ukrain­ian Cli­mate Office, oper­at­ing as a project-based ini­tia­tive, aims to iden­ti­fy reg­u­la­to­ry gaps in cli­mate pol­i­cy and devel­op effec­tive mech­a­nisms to address them. While the office is cur­rent­ly in its admin­is­tra­tive phase, it serves as a crit­i­cal hub for cli­mate relat­ed top­ics and the enhance­ment of inter­na­tion­al nego­ti­a­tion skills, par­tic­u­lar­ly with­in the frame­work of the UNFCCC.

Sup­port­ed by C4CA, the orga­ni­za­tion active­ly pro­motes polit­i­cal and pro­fes­sion­al dia­logue on cli­mate-relat­ed mat­ters through var­i­ous chan­nels, includ­ing events, sci­en­tif­ic stud­ies, and pub­lic rela­tions activ­i­ties. Addi­tion­al­ly, C4CA plays a piv­otal role in orga­niz­ing stake­hold­er con­sul­ta­tions, fos­ter­ing sup­port for green inno­va­tions, and con­duct­ing tar­get­ed train­ing and aware­ness-rais­ing activ­i­ties.

Fund­ed by the EU and the Inter­na­tion­al Cli­mate Ini­tia­tive, C4CA oper­ates as a com­po­nent of the GIZ project titled “Capac­i­ty Devel­op­ment for Cli­mate Pol­i­cy in the coun­tries of South­east­ern and East­ern Europe, South­ern Cau­ca­sus, and Cen­tral Asia, Phase III (CDCPIII).” This project is com­mis­sioned by the Ger­man Fed­er­al Min­istry for Eco­nom­ic Affairs and Cli­mate Action, as well as the For­eign Office.
