Just alternatives for climate finance
Online event
About this Event
Direct funding to Indigenous peoples and to local communities is emerging as a credible and cost-effective approach to addressing the climate and nature crises, while also addressing human rights and social justice. Yet it remains the case that only a tiny percentage of climate funding goes to such groups.
This event aims to explore just and effective forms of climate finance, including through looking at alternative sources of finance in developed economies and direct funding. At this time of seismic shifts in the global governance and economic architecture, this is a timely conversation that seeks to delve into various options, and propose a more just and more effective blueprint for climate finance, in the UK and beyond.
