[newdevjobsindo] GIZ Indonesia for the ASEAN Cluster anchored to the ASEAN EU German Climate Action Program (CAP) Project
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975 and formally with ASEAN since 2009 on behalf of the German Federal Government.
The Climate Advisor will embed within the GIZ ASEAN EU German Climate Action Program (CAP) and collaborate closely with ASEAN Secretariat and National Focal Point of ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC). CAP is a multi‑donor initiative co‑financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU), implemented by GIZ from 2022-2027. CAP has strengthened ASEAN capacities in climate and energy policy by enabling sectoral bodies and national institutions to develop and operationalize regional policy frameworks, including on loss and damage and on community‑ and ecosystem‑based adaptation. It has also enhanced technical and institutional capacities on climate negotiations, carbon pricing and climate risk management, improved cross‑sector coordination, and fostered engagement with development partners on climate finance and the energy transition.
