This Handbook provides guidance for designing and implementing technical assistance on macroeconomic modelling to support climate resilient economic development in partner countries. It introduces macroeconomic modelling as an instrument to assess the economy-wide impacts of climate hazards, adaptation, and mitigation measures.

The Handbook demonstrates how the results can inform key planning documents such as national adaptation plans (NAPs), nationally determined contributions (NDCs), (low emission) long-term strategies and other national development plans.

The recommendations reflect learnings from two projects implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in Algeria, Georgia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Nigeria, Uganda and Vietnam.
