Sustainable development needs mutual cooperation. To promote sustainable development, GTZ cooperates with various institutions and initiatives on national and international level.

• German Council for Sustainable Development
  How can economic growth be reconciled with sustainable development criteria? To find answers to this pivotal question, six countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and Germany - have joined together to form the platform BRICS+G.

• Association of Hessian Partner for the climate
  Carbon dioxide's damaging effect on the global climate can be neutralised if greenhouse gas emissions elsewhere can be reduced to an equivalent extent. To compensate for their CO2 emissions, the member companies of the Hessische Klimapartner 2006 initiative (climate partners in Hessen 2006), including GTZ, are developing products and services with a neutral effect on the climate.

• BioFrankfurt
  With the aim of improving biodiversity networking and research, GTZ has joined BioFrankfurt, an association of institutions with expertise in this particular field. A further aim of the network is to raise awareness among the general public of this complex theme.
