Climate change is undoubtedly one of the greatest global challenges of our time. And the people who have contributed least to climate change – those
who live in the Global South – bear the brunt of its consequences. They often lack the resources to implement the measures of mitigation and adaptation that are needed. The impacts of climate change are complex and vary from place to place. All this means that we must act and invest now. That is why we, the German development services, have launched this proposal for a new programme: the International Climate Service (ICS).

We began working on this idea by reviewing our experience of climate-related projects, commissioning expert reports, and talking to our partner organisations. The results of these activities and our proposals for the new programme are presented in the brochure “Climate change. We are changing too. International Climate Service. A new idea”

Our aim is to jointly develop and implement innovative and sustainable strategies to tackle the climate crisis. Let us journey together – towards a just and climate-friendly future.
