Euroclima plays a central role in advancing the EU-LAC strategic partnership by concretely contributing to the EU-LAC GGIA. As the flagship regional programme of the EU for climate and environmental action in LAC, Euroclima provides a critical platform to support the implementation of shared commitments to jointly address climate change and biodiversity loss. It seeks to contribute to a sustainable, resilient and inclusive transition through climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, including the protection, restoration, conservation of biodiversity as well as the promotion of a circular economy. To this end it focuses on contributing to the enabling conditions needed towards a green and just transition. It provides crucial expertise, technical assistance, and policy dialogue to partner countries, facilitating the integration of sustainability measures and advancing the GGIA's mission. Euroclima helps bridge capacity and funding gaps, playing a vital role in achieving GGIA's ambitious targets and in increasing access to finance and investments.Building on lessons learned from its earlier phases, Euroclima has evolved into a flexible and adaptive regional programme. Originally launched in 2010 and expanded during 2017-2023 as EUROCLIMA+, the Programme initially supported 18 participating Latin American countries in the implementation of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It is in the current phase (2023-2027), that also Caribbean countries and aspects related to biodiversity and circular economy were included in what is now known as Euroclima, covering in total 33 countries in LAC. Currently, the contract "Euroclima Global Gateway" (2027-2028) is being prepared and will provide additional resources and alignments to consider for the implementing agencies of the Programme, including GIZ. Euroclima is co-financed by the EU"s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Implemented under a Team Europe approach, Euroclima is implemented through coordinated efforts by eight organizations: the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID); the AFD Group, including Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and Expertise France (EF), although AFD will conclude its participation in 2026; the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC); the Fundación Internacional y para Iberoamérica de Administración y Políticas Públicas (FIAP); the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH; the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Programme is co-funded by the EU and the German Federal Government.
Overall, this assignment aims to provide ad hoc multi-sectoral technical assistance for a green and just transition in LAC in line with the EU Global Gateway Strategy and in the areas of implementation of GIZ within the Euroclima Programme, which up to date focus on sustainable energy, sustainable transport, bioeconomy and resilient food production, biodiversity, ecosystems and nature-based solutions, and circular economy in the Caribbean, but in the future do not exclude disaster management and risk reduction and sustainable water management to meet the Programme"s needs.Consistent with Euroclima´s potential role as a strategic knowledge and regional facilitator for like-minded initiatives, the requested services may also contribute to the achievement of objectives and indicators of related programs through collaborating with other programs in the region.
GIZ may optionally commission contract amendments and/or increases based on the criteria in the tender documents to the successful bidder of this tender. For details, please see the terms of reference.
