Reports to: Advisor – Policy Support (MME/crosscutting)

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Climate Support Programme (CSP4), funded under the International Climate Initiative (IKI), a financing vehicle by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), supports the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DFFE) in climate change policy development and support towards implementation.

CSP4, which is the 4th iteration of the Climate Support Prorgamme, supports the South African (SA) government in strengthening the mainstreaming and implementation of its climate and biodiversity policies. It contributes to SA's transition to a low-carbon economy and a climate-resilient society in line with the Vision 2050 in a just manner, while also ensuring biodiversity conservation. It builds on three pillars that are critical to contributing to long-term impact.

  • Supporting the development and implementation of ambitious climate action as a means to an ambitious NDC through further policy development support.
  • Enabling implementation of climate change and biodiversity actions.
  • Networking and knowledge management for BMUV/IKI projects in the country (‘interface function’.

Through the policy development support pillar, the CSP4 supports the DFFE with the setup of the South Africa’s mitigation system, an organized framework that consists of different elements and tools critical for the country’s emission reduction ambitions.

The CSP4 is looking to appoint an intern to assist organisational and technical aspects of GIZs work, especially in the area of policy development and implementation support for climate change mitigation and monitoring and evaluation.
