Climate finance is among the main determinants in the international community’s shared goal of restricting global warming and helping the countries which are most severely threatened by climate change to adapt to new conditions. Successful technology transfer therefore needs unrestricted access to potential sources of financing. Public-private partnerships, financing through multilateral funds, bilateral financial cooperation as well as financing on a national level are all equally important.

German partners with focus on financing technology cooperation are:

• KfW Group (KfW Bankengruppe)
• International Climate Initiative (Internationale Klimaschutzinitiative, IKI) of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety
• Foreign Trade and Investment Promotion Scheme (Euler Hermes export credit guarantees)
• developpp.de
