GTZ Proklima combines the provision of advice to politicians and administrations with the implementation of concrete projects. This makes it possible to effect a measurable reduction in ODS use across an entire country.
The GTZ programme employs socially and environmentally sustainable alternatives to the hazardous substances cited in all the environmental conventions. The programme is based on close cooperation with partner countries, and on the fact that the measures taken are economically viable. Proklima provides partner countries with both policy advice and assistance with implementation. Partner countries receive help with the submission of project proposals to the Multilateral Fund’s Executive Committee, as well as practical assistance, for example with importing machinery or establishing disposal facilities. The experience gained from the project will be useful when these partners come to phase out the hazardous substances which feature in other environmental agreements.
