COP28 side Event: Digital readiness of developing countries: how it can accelerate climate action

Digitalization is a decisive factor for the implementation of global climate protection measures. However, the success of the measures depends on the capacities and conditions of the partner countries – on their digital readiness. This results in two main requirements for digital measures: Taking local conditions into account and strengthening the digital readiness of partner countries. On behalf of the BMZ, GIZ is implementing the Digital Readiness Dialogue to discuss how both can be achieved.
