COP28 side event – Climate finance for forests, biodiversity & food security: what can we do better?

During the side event, a diverse panel including grassroots women, Indigenous and local community representatives will discuss how to ensure that climate finance is directed to the local level. Focusing on locally-led adaptation and mitigation principles, particularly the vital importance of being gender-responsive, we will address how financial mechanisms (including for example the Loss and Damage Fund) can better support communities at the frontline of tropical forest and biodiversity stewardship and conservation.
