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.
