Welcome to NDE Germany
Climate technologies play a fundamental role in effective climate protection. German companies offer a wide range of valuable technologies. German policy supports international cooperation on technology development and transfer through numerous initiatives and political support.
NDE (National Designated Entity) Germany is the national contact point for climate technology transfer under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This makes it one of a total of 166 NDEs worldwide that have been established to promote cooperation on technology transfer to developing countries and emerging economies in the interest of climate protection worldwide.
On our internet portal we would like to inform you about technology transfer and make it easier for you to access German institutions, funding initiatives and financing opportunities as well as helpful platforms and relevant publications. The focus is on both climate technologies for reducing emissions and adapting to a changing climate.
