The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in China

The federally owned Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, has been working in China for almost 30 years. As an instrument of bilateral cooperation we act on behalf of the German government and in the interests of both Germany and China.

GIZ provides policy advice on China’s reform process to build a harmonious, resource-saving society and strive for a balance between economic growth, social equality and environmental protection.

We constantly adjust the performance profile of GIZ to the pace of change in the Chinese reform process. Often, the distinctly German social and ecological market economy serves as a model. In China GIZ operates in fields where German participants have solid experience and competitive advantages.

As a public-benefit, federally owned enterprise, we support the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. GIZ operates in more than 130 countries worldwide on behalf of the German Government and other public and private sector clients. These include the governments of other countries, international organisations and private companies. We are also engaged in international education work around the globe.

Sino - German Climate Change Programme

While the Chinese Central Government has recognized the importance of fighting climate change, at the local and provincial levels it is still necessary to raise awareness of this issue. What is more, it is recognized that it is important to go beyond awareness, and actually strengthen the know-how of local and provincial stakeholders regarding the appropriate measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the consequences of climate change.

GIZ supports these efforts in the framework of the Sino - German Climate Change Programme, especially through a component on capacity building. In the current project year the programme cooperates with the NDRC Training Centre in the development of five new training modules in the following areas: 1) Adaptation 2) Reduction Strategies 3) Low Carbon Development 4) Green House Gas- Monitoring and 5) Emissions Trading. The training modules will be developed by a German-Chinese commission of experts in the framework of workshops and study trips, and should subsequently be tested in three pilot-provinces before they are applied through the national training centre, where 2,000 senior management professionals will be trained.

The project is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The political body carrying out the project on the Chinese side is the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
