Climate change, the decarbonization and digitalization of the economy and the shift in the geopolitical balance of power pose major challenges for politics and society and are forcing structural changes. Implementing the Paris Agreement and Germany’s foreign climate policy strategy requires new forms of international cooperation.

Partnerships provide the framework for securing the industrial and economic transformation, making it resilient, and promote sustainable economic prosperity in the participating partner countries. With the tripling of renewable energies and the doubling of the rate of increase in energy efficiency by 2030, as well as the move away from fossil fuels, investments are now at the center of the implementation agenda.
