More ambition at all levels
In 2021, the International Climate Initiative (IKI) focussed on supporting the definition, development and implementation of more ambitious targets for the mitigation of climate change and the conservation of biological diversity.
Gender equality for effective climate and biodiversity projects
The IKI published its gender strategy in 2021. This strategy aims to support the inclusion and potential of all stakeholders and, in so doing, contribute to a social transformation.

Selected IKI impacts 2015–2020
Based on all IKI projects that reported on the three action indicators "mitigation", "people" and "ecosystems" in the reporting years 2015-2020, a first evaluation of the IKI standard indicators could be made.
Practical examples of project work
These practical examples from the four funding areas of the IKI, illustrate the concrete work of the IKI projects in the partner countries. All six projects illustrate how IKI's work is advancing ambitions for the mitigation of climate change and the conservation of biodiversity.
