European Capacity Building Initiative (ecbi)

The European Capacity Building Initiative (ecbi) focuses on overcoming a key limitation of the UN climate change negotiations - the lack of a level playing field between delegations, both North-South, and South-South.

ecbi aims at overcoming this limitation and obstacles through a number of capacity and trust building activities, subsumed under three complementary integrated programmes:

• a primarily trust-building Fellowship Programme with an informal (high-level) exchange of views and ideas
• a Workshop Programme to enhance negotiating skills
• a Policy Analysis Programme to provide the policy analyses necessary for successful negotiations.
