Commitments in Action: Direct Funding to Empower Indigenous Women in Climate Resilience
The event aims to assess the current state of climate finance, identify gaps in existing mechanisms, and explore pathways to develop more inclusive and accessible funding models for Indigenous women. By fostering collaboration among funders, we seek to enhance understanding of Indigenous women’s vital role in climate resilience, pinpoint barriers to direct funding, and secure stronger commitments for equitable financial support for Indigenous women-led initiatives.
