BMU Flyer: Action for biodiversity

Since 2008, the International Climate Initiative (ICI) of the BMU supports projects designed to mitigate climate change, conserve biodiversity and adapt to climate change impacts. The resources for these activities come, among others, from the Energy and Climate Fund, which is replenished from the revenue generated by auctioning tradable emission certificates in the European Union.

ICI financing in the area of biological diversity targets projects promoting implementation of the Strategic Plan 2011-2020 of the CBD. As a result, German bilateral cooperation with developing, newly industrialising and transition countries is expanding, and CBD processes are being strengthened.
