Centre of Competence for Nature-based Climate Action

mitteleuropäische Wald- und Moorlandschaft

The Centre of Competence for Nature-based Climate Action (KNK) is the central point of contact for the topic of nature-based climate action at federal level in Germany. We advise and inform stakeholders for nature-based climate action – such as local authorities, associations and landowners as well as agricultural and forest management operators.

The Centre of Competence forms part of the German Federal Action Plan on Nature-based Solutions for Climate and Biodiversity (ANK) from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV). The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) acts as a steering body here. The Action Plan aims to achieve significant improvements to the general state of ecosystems in Germany, so as to strengthen their resilience and climate change mitigation performance while conserving biodiversity. 

The KNK coordinates advice on nature-based climate action at federal level, offers information about available funding, provides subject-specific information, and hosts networking events for stakeholders and interested parties.
