Find funding

The IKI Thematic Call generally provides an annual funding volume of more than 300 million euros. 

It is presented at the annual World Climate Conference as a central support instrument for the goals of the UNFCCC agenda and the Paris Agreement. 

With the ideas competition for the call, the IKI supports international agenda setting by incorporating current topics from the climate and biodiversity negotiations. 

In its priority countries, the IKI launches projects that emerge from the ideas competitions of the IKI Country Calls. Added to this are the IKI interface projects, which maintain offices in the capital cities of the partner countries. 

The country calls are developed together with the political partners of the relevant countries and take into account the priorities set by the partner governments in the processes of the two global framework conventions for climate and biodiversity.

The interface projects underpin the cooperation in the priority countries in order to facilitate political dialogue and the networking of the IKI on overarching climate and biodiversity issues.

Other IKI funding instruments are the IKI Medium Grants and IKI Small Grants, which are used to strengthen civil society actors in developing and emerging countries. 

In addition to project funding, the IKI initiates or participates in international funds and major multilateral initiatives. 

The two main objectives are 

• mobilising private funds and 
• accelerating the implementation of measures to achieve the global climate and biodiversity goals; to achieve this goal, resources are pooled in order to achieve an effective multilateral climate and biodiversity regime.
