IKI was established in 2008 by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment. IKI aims to finance climate and biodiversity projects in developing and newly industrializing countries, as well as in countries in transition. In the first few years, the initiative was sourced through the proceeds made by auctioning allowances under the emissions trading scheme. To ensure financial continuity, additional funds were made available through the Special Energy and Climate Fund. IKI allocated grants of approximately € 200 million per year.

Eligibility to Receive Funding

Regional Focus: IKI works globally but defines key countries and regions for each sector with regards to the consolidation of the existing IKI portfolio in both thematic and regional terms. The 2017 list of focal countries can be found online.

  • Conserving carbon sinks with a focus on REDD+, especially in countries and regions that are particularly inclined to work on carbon storage and biodiversity;
