German Federal Ministry of the Environment (BMU)
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) established the International Climate Initiative (IKI) in 2008. BMU uses the IKI to assist developing and emerging countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate change and preserve biodiversity. The IKI receives revenue from the auction of EU ETS emission allowances, via the Climate and Energy Fund (EKF), and a significant annual contribution from the BMU. Investments made by the IKI provide developing and emerging countries with “new and additional” funding, which is critical for the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
