SB58 Event – Transforming Climate Finance
June 10 @ 15:15 CEST
The Global Stocktake (GST) must enable us to assess our collective progress -and gaps- in implementing the Paris Agreement towards ensuring climate justice across the world. In this context, the IPCC AR6 (WGII-Chapt18) acknowledges that gender-responsive climate policies and finance remain largely insufficient and inadequate, although addressing gender and intersectional inequalities is vital for transformative climate action. The GST must lead us to a paradigm shift towards feminist approaches with equitable financing and response measures to the multiple intersecting climate, biodiversity and economic crises. This event will open a dialogue among governments, practitioners, and grassroot organizations to discuss what a real feminist approach to climate development policies and financing looks like.
Objectives:
- Underline the need to restructure financial infrastructures to significantly improve the quality and quantity of gender-responsive climate finance, and to address the structural barriers that hinder local, indigenous women and feminist organisations from accessing climate funding
- Inform decision-making bodies and policymakers, on the cross-cutting benefits of financing locally owned and gender-just climate action/implementation
- Contribute to the GAP and GST mandates through the dissemination of policy recommendations.
