Biodiversity in global agricultural supply chains
Biodiversity is a fundamental element of people’s livelihoods – and it is declining at a rapid pace worldwide with climate change being one of the main causes.
The paper elaborates how designing global agricultural supply chains in a biodiversity-sensitive way can be a key lever for tackling the biodiversity crisis.

Roadmap for Integrated Climate Risk Management in Ghana: Flood Risk Management & Transfer
This roadmap was developed as part of the project “Developing Risk Management Approaches for Climate Risks in Ghana” that was implemented by GIZ and Allianz Re in cooperation with local partners in Ghana. The roadmap describes both the approach taken and the route followed by the project partners in applying the Integrated Disaster Risk Management concept in the context of managing flood risk of public infrastructure assets owned or managed by the three municipalities of Accra.
Disaster Risk Finance – A Toolkit
The impacts of climate-related disaster risks are growing and disproportionately affect vulnerable countries. Finance that is available in a timely fashion after a disaster is crucial in order to increase financial resilience. The purpose of this disaster risk toolkit is to provide practical guidance on how to decide which disaster risk finance instruments are suitable for which circumstances.
Enhancing Risk Assessments (ERA) for Improved Country Risk Financing Strategies
The overall aim of the ERA project is to provide the government partners in Thailand and Egypt with an enhanced risk assessment for the development of their adaptation and risk financing strategies. The project is implemented by GIZ together with the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative (MCII) hosted by the United Nations University.
Agroecology as Promising Lever for a Social-Ecological Transformation – Factsheet Agroecology
Agroecology is a transdisciplinary and inter-sectoral approach. The factsheet provides an overview on agroecology as a lever social-ecological transformation. It illustrates the relevance of agroecology for future-proof agriculture and food systems using examples from implemented GIZ projects.
Climate Resilient Jobs Perspectives Through Agroecology
The factsheet illustrates the intersection of agroecology and rural employment. It explores how agroecology fosters climate change adaptation through biodiversity alongside employment promotion. Three dimensions are examined in particular: job creation, sustainable business opportunities and education.
GIZ’s Urban Climate Resilience Agenda
On behalf of the German Government, GIZ works with strategically important partners for urban resilience, such as Resilient Cities Network, ICLEI, Cities Alliance, and C40 to support projects on urban climate resilience in partner countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. GIZ’s approaches range from identification of concrete urban climate risks, applying vulnerability and risk assessment tools, to the support of cities & communities in planning, developing & implementing the climate adaptation actions.
Regional Talanoa on Climate Induced Planned Relocation
As part of the closing and climax of a very successful technical cooperation with the Pacific Islands, particularly in Fiji, a series of talanoas was convened. The talanoas bring people together to discuss all issues affecting the community. The talanoas, open and interactive conversations, took place in a hybrid format and discussed Climate risk assessments in the context of planned relocation, The Standard Operating Procedures for Planned (SOP) Relocation in Fiji, and Relocation, culture, gender, and psychosocial wellbeing nexus in the context of the relocations in Fiji.
