The climate partnership
The state capital Munich has been part of the European Climate Alliance network since 1991. Over 1,800 member municipalities, federal states and other organizations from 27 European countries aim to take local measures for global climate protection.
Since 1997, Munich has maintained a climate partnership with the Peruvian Asháninka people in context of the Climate Alliance. It is based on the following three pillars:

Education and information work to sensitize the people in Munich to the global importance of the rainforest

Support of specific projects in the Peruvian rainforest according to the priorities set by the Asháninka

Political support for the protection of the rainforest and its inhabitants
