The “Toolkit for Navigating Multilateral Negotiations” was developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) with the support of GIZ BioClime to aid new UNFCCC negotiators with practical guidance on negotiation preparation – including a hands-on Preparation Worksheet for negotiators to fill out before the conference.

It is based on the second edition of IISD’s comprehensive compendium for climate negotiations: “On Behalf of My Delegation: A Survival Guide for New and Lonely Climate Change Negotiators”. In a joint effort of GIZ BioClime and IISD, it has been applied in multiple high-level negotiation trainings for international climate negotiators and made publicly available as a concise guidance to prepare for UNFCCC COPs and beyond.
