Unlocking Climate Finance for Marginalised Communities: From Access to Accountability

Join us for a dynamic discussion on how climate finance can better reach the communities most affected by climate change.

While global commitments to climate finance continue to grow, too much funding still fails to reach local communities, organisations of persons with disabilities (OPDs), Indigenous Peoples, women, youth and other marginalised groups. CBM Global and partners will share recent research findings with a call to action to make climate finance inclusive of persons with disabilities and OPDs.

This session will explore where climate finance gets stuck and what needs to change to make funding more accessible, inclusive, accountable and locally led.

Together we will discuss:

• Barriers that prevent climate finance from reaching communities
• How local actors can meaningfully influence funding decisions
• What funders and intermediaries can change to improve access and accountability
• Practical reforms to make climate finance genuinely inclusive and locally led

Why attend?

This interactive session will move beyond identifying challenges to explore concrete actions that institutions, donors and funds can take to ensure climate finance reaches those who need it most.
