Climate Diplomacy Action Programme

Climate Policy

The Cli­mate Diplo­ma­cy Action Pro­gramme sup­ports the Fed­er­al For­eign Office (AA) in the imple­men­ta­tion of Ger­man for­eign cli­mate pol­i­cy and accom­pa­nies Ger­many’s cli­mate pol­i­cy coop­er­a­tion with its part­ner coun­tries. In doing so, the so called “IKI frame­work project for cli­mate for­eign pol­i­cy” is guid­ed by the AA’s cur­rent pri­or­i­ties in inter­na­tion­al cli­mate pol­i­cy as well as the require­ments of the part­ner coun­tries and imple­ments region­al and bilat­er­al mea­sures in select­ed the­mat­ic areas, such as cli­mate pro­tec­tion, loss and dam­age, resilience, adap­ta­tion to the con­se­quences of cli­mate change, ener­gy, agri­cul­tur­al and food sys­tems, water man­age­ment, cli­mate diplo­ma­cy, cli­mate financ­ing, cli­mate and secu­ri­ty. The project takes into account the prin­ci­ples of just tran­si­tion, fem­i­nist for­eign pol­i­cy and the inter­na­tion­al debate on loss and dam­age, as well as the hor­i­zon­tal link­ages between the the­mat­ic areas, such as cli­mate and secu­ri­ty or cli­mate and ener­gy.
