The impacts of climate change threaten the livelihoods of many people, especially in vulnerable countries. At the Climate Conference in Egypt (COP27), an agreement was reached to set up a new international financing architecture to deal with loss and damage, including a new fund.

The Global Shield against Climate Risks is a joint initiative of the G7 and the V20 (an association of countries particularly threatened by climate change). It bundles activities in the field of climate risk insurance and prevention.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Only together can we identify ambitious solutions and implement them fast enough. The BMZ supports developing countries and emerging economies with a wide range of measures and programmes to achieve their climate commitments and to protect themselves against the impacts of climate change.

Three projects from Madagascar, India and Ethiopia illustrate how digital climate information services, circular economy and landscape approaches can contribute to climate change adaptation.

The increasing number and intensity of droughts, floods, and heavy rainfall show that the climate crisis is equally a water crisis. The BMZ understands water as a central element in advancing climate change adaptation and mitigation goals.

Climate risk management helps address the remaining climate risks by using a range of effective and innovative tools and measures to prevent, minimise and manage loss and damage.

Effective adaptation strategies can enable local smallholder farmers to better cope with these challenges in Ghanas Upper West Region.

The InsuResilience Global Partnership supports Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) solutions. The video showcases examples of how micro and macro insurance work in two different scenarios where time is of the essence to recover from disasters.

The NDC Partnership's knowledge portal helps countries meet their climate targets by providing quick and easy access to data, tools, guidelines, best practices and funding opportunities.

The NDC 3.0 Navigator is an interactive knowledge tool that supports the submission of new Nationally Determined Contributions for 2035 to 2040. It is operated by the NDC Partnership and the UNFCCC Secretariat. The Navigator pools information on ambitious, socially just, inclusive NDCs – information that is technically precise and can be implemented with strong impact, and that also helps countries mobilise the necessary funding.

The NDC Partnership is a global partnership that supports developing countries and emerging economies to set, become more ambitious and achieve their climate goals.

The NDC Partnership supports the Pacific island nation in the development of roadmaps for the implementation of the National Climate Contribution (NDC) and the financing of NDC investments through the Regional Pacific NDC Hub.

In June 2018, Uganda adopted the first NDC Partnership Plan in Africa and prioritised the implementation of the Paris Agreement to improve coordination and cooperation with national and international partners.

Many people in the Caribbean are forced to migrate due to storm disasters. The BMZ has therefore launched a programme to improve knowledge on how to deal with climate-induced migration, resettlement and displacement in small island states.

With the support of German development cooperation, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) has studied the impact of a hurricane hitting OECS member states during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Houses of the village Vunidogoloa in Fiji had been slowly sinking into the ground due to rapidly rising sea levels. In order to flee the impacts of climate change, the village had been relocated to higher areas more distant to the sea.

After a house of the Tukuraki village in Fiji had been completely destructed by a land slide in 2012, including the death of a family of four which had been living there, the Tukuraki community had been relocated to a new area 1.5 hours by foot from its old location.
