Ecologic Legal is supporting the German Federal Foreign Office in the international climate negotiations, particularly on the identification and analysis of German, EU and international negotiation positions. This project builds on previous work conducted in the projects on "Scientific and Legal and Support of the Climate Negotiations".

Ecologic Institute provides advice on matters of public international law in particular. The Institute's experts assist in the international and European discussions through specialist advice and develop solutions to legal questions in the international climate negotiations. The project includes inter alia:

• Scientific and legal support in the preparation for the climate negotiation meetings, providing backgrounds on relevant negotiation topics, analyses of positions and submissions of third Parties, as well as the development of German and EU positions;
• Preparation of EU positions and participation in EU expert groups (especially the Issue Groups for Legal Issues, IG LEX, and for General and Principles, IG GAP);
• Preparation for and participation in the official meetings of the Subsidiary Bodies in June 2024 under the Paris Agreement, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol.

The Paris Agreement is the cornerstone for international climate action. Its implementation still faces many challenges, however, as the outcome of the Global Stocktake in 2023 has shown. The negotiations on mitigation, adaptation, means of implementation and many cross-cutting issues, including human rights, gender, Indigenous Peoples and overall inclusiveness, require ongoing support on legal and institutional questions.
