climate policy, Paris agreement, Nationally determined contributions NDC, climate finance, NAMAs, Renewable Energy Germany climate policy made in Germany The complex "climate policy" results from numerous cofactors arising from the global economy's interdependence on carbon dioxide emitting hydrocarbon energy sources and because carbon dioxide is directly implicated in global warming, making global warming a non-traditional environmental challenge. climate policy the greenwerk. is an advisory firm for climate finance and climate policy with a wide range of services for clients in both developing and developed countries. Our work focuses on instruments and activities for enhanced access to climate finance and for promoting greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and renewable energy (RE) to combat global warming, as well as enhancing resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change. On climate finance, the greenwerk. navigates public and private actors from developed and developing countries through different layers of the climate finance landscape. We help to operationalize results of the Paris Agreement, clarify contentious technical definitions within the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), help implementing and upgrading Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), assess the impact of transformational climate finance, analyse improved involvement of finance institutions such as Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), observe the latest Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Standing Committee of Finance (SCF) developments and offer support for accessing various funding sources. the greenwerk. contributes to a global knowledge transfer on climate finance and policy through facilitation of capacity development missions and trainings in various countries and sectors. Our focus hereby is on climate finance and GHG mitigation instruments and their linkages with the climate policy landscape. In addition, we author guidance documents, online courses, newsletters and various other publications. our commitment For mitigating anthropogenic climate change, we, at the greenwerk., strive for fair and sustainable use of global resources and access to renewable energy for all, as well as enhanced resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change. We support those that require specific expertise in responding to the increasing threats of man-made climate change. Hereby, we reflect the needs and capabilities of the most vulnerable, particularly Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States. the greenwerk. is committed to meet the highest quality and integrity standards and to work hand in hand with our partners.
topics the greenwerk. analyses key climate policy processes and supports the development of effective climate and energy policies, provides sectoral support based on the design of roadmaps and enabling environments, navigates our partners through different layers of the international climate finance landscape and conducts solid monitoring & evaluation (M&E) activities.

activities the greenwerk. offers a full range of services for enhancing global knowledge transfer in the fields of climate finance and policy. Our work comprises advisory for decision makers from the public and private sector, facilitation of capacity development activities, and fostering research in the area of climate and energy policy measures. Explore more details of what we do by clicking below. Monitoring & Evaluation Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plays an important role in assessing the performance of projects, institutions and programmes and for enhancing the output, outcome and impact of respective activities, as well as for improving transparency. the greenwerk is engaged in M&E activities both in the field of GHG mitigation as well as the climate finance sphere. Moreover, we are active in evaluating projects and programmes according to key performance indicators, such as OECD DAC or GIZ Capacity Works. Our strong expertise on creating innovative MRV approaches for GHG mitigation activities is based on experience with various GHG emission accounting standards, including practical knowledge from a decade of actively designing Clean Development Mechanism mitigation scenarios (incl. PoAs), as well as detailed background on international climate policies. the greenwerk. is actively supporting development cooperation partners since many years with GHG impact assessment (e.g., GIZ Climate Impact Tool) and was closely involved in the GIZ aggregated climate impact reporting and the plausibility check 2018 and 2020 (Indicator 10.1 GHG Emission Reductions, for the GIZ FMB). Moreover, we have developed several tools for estimating the carbon footprint of development cooperation projects. Regarding climate finance tracking, we offer robust methodological and practical expertise. Over the past decade, we have evaluated and compared the UNFCCC, MDB and OECD Climate Finance tracking methodologies (i.e. Rio Marker Reporting System) and revealed benefits as well as shortcomings. Also, we assess the transparency of support received from a developing country perspective. Based on our deep understanding of the OECD Rio Markers and MDB Joint Reporting methodology, we evaluate the plausibility of international climate finance flows (e.g. for Germany). Moreover, we offer assessment and evaluation of climate finance reporting in the context of UNFCCC BR’s and the EU MMR system. Here, the greenwerk. has developed and implemented an IT-based tracking and assessment system for international climate finance flows (applied for the German Government). We also support developing countries with their climate finance tracking systems for reporting to the UNFCCC. Our experts are also assessing and simulating the OECD Parties´ contributions towards the USD 100 billion goal – from both the developed and developing country perspective. Climate Policy Climate policy sets the foundations for actions to combat anthropogenic climate change - be it on the international, national or local level. Since more than fifteen years we closely follow the multilateral climate negotiations under the UNFCCC and offer research, advisory services and capacity development in this respect. This includes support in operationalizing elements of the Paris Agreement, clarify contentious technical definitions on the UNFCCC level such as questions around the USD 100 billion commitment / Post 2025 climate finance goal and transparency of support. We also assess the impact of transformational climate finance and analyse improved involvements of finance institutions such as MDBs. As part of the Climate Finance Advisory Service CFAS we observe the development of the multilateral climate finance architecture and actively support board members of the GCF and the Standing Committee on Finance from LDCs and developing countries prior and during meetings. Moreover, we analyse the implementation of the Paris Agreements’ Articles towards national policies and examine the level of ambition of Parties in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Over the last decade, we have assessed various climate policy instruments in various sectors, including energy (policies and measures to foster the uptake of renewable energy, energy efficiency measures and sustainable transport), buildings, cement, amongst others. the greenwerk. also has a long track record of working on carbon pricing instruments (including emissions trading schemes and offsetting mechanisms, carbon taxes, Article 6 mechanisms, sustainability of offsetting schemes and the aviation sector). Climate Finance Under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement, developed countries committed themselves to provide new and additional financial resources to developing countries for addressing adaptation needs and enabling low-emission development pathways. Funding may flow through various bilateral and multilateral channels that are based on various frameworks and requirements. Among those are prominent climate funds such as the Global Environment Facility (GEF) or the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which received substantial resource commitments to foster transformational change in developing countries. Through our advisory, research and capacity development activities, we navigate public and private actors from developed and developing countries through different layers of the climate finance landscape. From initial readiness activities to the elaboration of full funding proposals, our core focus lies on supporting countries or entities in accessing international climate finance funds. With respect to the GCF, we have been covering the full scope of GCF proposal development, including the elaboration of concept notes and supporting documents. the greenwerk is also actively engaging in GCF Readiness and Support Programme activities since many years, in various countries and with many delivery partners. We have developed GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support Proposals and are also engaged in the implementation of various approved Readiness activities. Hereby, we cover a broad spectrum of RSP objectives and outcomes, including country programming, pipeline development, stakeholder engagement, capacity building through trainings & workshops, knowledge products, designing of financing mechanisms, research & scoping, concept note development, NAP development, and NDC enhancement. the greenwerk. is moreover actively supporting countries and agencies in developing documentation for GEF funding requests (PIFs, CEO Endorsement Packages). Since the early 2010s we are also spearheading the concept of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and have developed various NAMA concepts and funding requests with many donors. In this respect, our team has a long track record in supporting the development of concepts and NSP documents for the NAMA Facility. NDC & Sector Strategies Tackling global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is an imminent need for sustaining the earth for future generations. Worldwide, national governments and corporate entities are increasing their efforts to mitigate GHG emissions. the greenwerk. has outstanding experience with designing, applying and analyzing effective GHG mitigation instruments. We have a clear focus on developing robust and effective policies and measures with mitigation benefits in developing countries (such as Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions – NAMAs and low-emission sector strategies) and their reflection in NDCs. Over the years, we have contributed to the design of numerous enabling environments, roadmaps, strategies and action plans in various countries and sectors. Thematically, we inter alia focus on renewable energy supply and energy access, energy efficiency measures in the building and transport sector, e-mobility, green hydrogen as well as mitigation activities in the cement sector, amongst others.

Monitoring & Evaluation Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plays an important role in assessing the performance of projects, institutions and programmes and for enhancing the output, outcome and impact of respective activities, as well as for improving transparency. the greenwerk is engaged in M&E activities both in the field of GHG mitigation as well as the climate finance sphere. Moreover, we are active in evaluating projects and programmes according to key performance indicators, such as OECD DAC or GIZ Capacity Works. Our strong expertise on creating innovative MRV approaches for GHG mitigation activities is based on experience with various GHG emission accounting standards, including practical knowledge from a decade of actively designing Clean Development Mechanism mitigation scenarios (incl. PoAs), as well as detailed background on international climate policies. the greenwerk. is actively supporting development cooperation partners since many years with GHG impact assessment (e.g., GIZ Climate Impact Tool) and was closely involved in the GIZ aggregated climate impact reporting and the plausibility check 2018 and 2020 (Indicator 10.1 GHG Emission Reductions, for the GIZ FMB). Moreover, we have developed several tools for estimating the carbon footprint of development cooperation projects. Regarding climate finance tracking, we offer robust methodological and practical expertise. Over the past decade, we have evaluated and compared the UNFCCC, MDB and OECD Climate Finance tracking methodologies (i.e. Rio Marker Reporting System) and revealed benefits as well as shortcomings. Also, we assess the transparency of support received from a developing country perspective. Based on our deep understanding of the OECD Rio Markers and MDB Joint Reporting methodology, we evaluate the plausibility of international climate finance flows (e.g. for Germany). Moreover, we offer assessment and evaluation of climate finance reporting in the context of UNFCCC BR’s and the EU MMR system. Here, the greenwerk. has developed and implemented an IT-based tracking and assessment system for international climate finance flows (applied for the German Government). We also support developing countries with their climate finance tracking systems for reporting to the UNFCCC. Our experts are also assessing and simulating the OECD Parties´ contributions towards the USD 100 billion goal – from both the developed and developing country perspective. Climate Policy Climate policy sets the foundations for actions to combat anthropogenic climate change - be it on the international, national or local level. Since more than fifteen years we closely follow the multilateral climate negotiations under the UNFCCC and offer research, advisory services and capacity development in this respect. This includes support in operationalizing elements of the Paris Agreement, clarify contentious technical definitions on the UNFCCC level such as questions around the USD 100 billion commitment / Post 2025 climate finance goal and transparency of support. We also assess the impact of transformational climate finance and analyse improved involvements of finance institutions such as MDBs. As part of the Climate Finance Advisory Service CFAS we observe the development of the multilateral climate finance architecture and actively support board members of the GCF and the Standing Committee on Finance from LDCs and developing countries prior and during meetings. Moreover, we analyse the implementation of the Paris Agreements’ Articles towards national policies and examine the level of ambition of Parties in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Over the last decade, we have assessed various climate policy instruments in various sectors, including energy (policies and measures to foster the uptake of renewable energy, energy efficiency measures and sustainable transport), buildings, cement, amongst others. the greenwerk. also has a long track record of working on carbon pricing instruments (including emissions trading schemes and offsetting mechanisms, carbon taxes, Article 6 mechanisms, sustainability of offsetting schemes and the aviation sector). Climate Finance Under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement, developed countries committed themselves to provide new and additional financial resources to developing countries for addressing adaptation needs and enabling low-emission development pathways. Funding may flow through various bilateral and multilateral channels that are based on various frameworks and requirements. Among those are prominent climate funds such as the Global Environment Facility (GEF) or the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which received substantial resource commitments to foster transformational change in developing countries. Through our advisory, research and capacity development activities, we navigate public and private actors from developed and developing countries through different layers of the climate finance landscape. From initial readiness activities to the elaboration of full funding proposals, our core focus lies on supporting countries or entities in accessing international climate finance funds. With respect to the GCF, we have been covering the full scope of GCF proposal development, including the elaboration of concept notes and supporting documents. the greenwerk is also actively engaging in GCF Readiness and Support Programme activities since many years, in various countries and with many delivery partners. We have developed GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support Proposals and are also engaged in the implementation of various approved Readiness activities. Hereby, we cover a broad spectrum of RSP objectives and outcomes, including country programming, pipeline development, stakeholder engagement, capacity building through trainings & workshops, knowledge products, designing of financing mechanisms, research & scoping, concept note development, NAP development, and NDC enhancement. the greenwerk. is moreover actively supporting countries and agencies in developing documentation for GEF funding requests (PIFs, CEO Endorsement Packages). Since the early 2010s we are also spearheading the concept of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and have developed various NAMA concepts and funding requests with many donors. In this respect, our team has a long track record in supporting the development of concepts and NSP documents for the NAMA Facility. NDC & Sector Strategies Tackling global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is an imminent need for sustaining the earth for future generations. Worldwide, national governments and corporate entities are increasing their efforts to mitigate GHG emissions. the greenwerk. has outstanding experience with designing, applying and analyzing effective GHG mitigation instruments. We have a clear focus on developing robust and effective policies and measures with mitigation benefits in developing countries (such as Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions – NAMAs and low-emission sector strategies) and their reflection in NDCs. Over the years, we have contributed to the design of numerous enabling environments, roadmaps, strategies and action plans in various countries and sectors. Thematically, we inter alia focus on renewable energy supply and energy access, energy efficiency measures in the building and transport sector, e-mobility, green hydrogen as well as mitigation activities in the cement sector, amongst others.
