About

Background

The logic behind our Transport and Climate Change Week is simple: we bring together experts and decision-makers from all around the world to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking through peer-to-peer exchange and specialised workshops. We do not only build capacities, but establish meaningful relations, which lie at the foundation of development cooperation.

This way, we try to create confidence in the feasibility of changing transport. That it’s possible to change transport for the better.

Since it was first held in 2017, the Transport and Climate Change Week has established as a successful format that enables dialogue, cooperation and exchange between developing countries and growing economies.

The Transport and Climate Change Week is funded through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV). It involves partners of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and other implementing organisations and is organised by Changing Transport of GIZ.
