A new vision of climate finance from indigenous peoples and local communities

About the event

Although growing evidence demonstrates the primary role of indigenous peoples and local communities in protecting forests and biodiversity, an analysis of climate funds invested over the past 10 years shows that these have not reached the communities where nature protection activities are actually at stake. 

Following a presentation by the leaders of the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities, the largest organization of territorial organizations in the tropical strip, of their vision of a new climate finance mechanism that can reach indigenous peoples and local communities more directly, panelists will discuss how to use existing funds and relevant policies to enhance their contribution to that vision, including IPLCs and Governments needs to move forward this agenda.
