Accelerating access to appropriate and inclusive climate finance is pivotal to empower transformative climate action at the local level. Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) play a crucial role in implementing mitigation and adaptation measures. However, constraints on accessing funds and appropriate sources of climate finance remain as critical bottlenecks for unlocking resources for local solutions. This event will unpack approaches to contextualize financial and climate language and information, to facilitate predictable, flexible and easily accessible finance for locally-led adaptation (LLA). The event will also explore the importance of democratizing access to climate finance and practical actions for addressing challenges faced by IPLCs.
