Food security and livelihoods in Central Asia face rising climate risks, such as higher temperatures and more variable rainfall, which speed up land degradation. GIZ supports sustainable development and climate adaptation with a focus on the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. The specific objective was to support GIZ in developing a comprehensive Green Climate Fund (GCF) funding proposal, a greenhouse gas monitoring plan, financial mechanisms, and operational manuals for the GCF-funded project “Climate Resilient Landscapes in Central Asia.” Unique formed a multidisciplinary team to ensure technical soundness and regional relevance, paving the way for tangible contributions.

• Development of GCF funding proposal and technical annexes
• Design of greenhouse gas monitoring plan to meet GCF requirements
• Formulation of financial mechanisms and operational manuals
• Facilitation of stakeholder engagement for regional ownership
