Since 2013, the Sino-German Environmental Partnership has supported bilateral environmental policy dialogue through the exchange of experience and advice on various specialist topics. Thereby, the project enhances institutional and individual capacities through training, the exchange of personnel, and knowledge transfer, to best prepare China for its future as a transformed “Ecological Civilization” and its path towards a “Beautiful China”.
The partnership is overseen by the Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) of the People’s Republic of China. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is responsible for implementing the Sino-German Environmental Partnership, which is funded through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of BMU.

The Covid-19 pandemic had and still has mayor influence on the schedule of CBD meetings. The original plan of having SBSTTA 24/SBI 3 in May 2020, OEWG 3 in July 2020 in Columbia and COP 15 in October 2020 in China became impossible already in spring 2020 when the first wave of the pandemic did hit most countries in the world. Since then the CBD secretariat and its partners struggle to keep the momentum and find new possible dates (and venues) for meetings. They also make use of online formats as far as possible.
