Experiences from grassroots: Why we need Gender Responsive Climate Finance

Tuesday 8 December 10-11.30 am

Location: the Netherlands Climate Pavilion, Blue Zone

Co-hosted with: Green Alliance for Gender Action, Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres, Mama Cash, Global Greengrants Fund.

What: Globally, women experience some of the most acute impacts of environmental degradation and climate change. Women from grassroots communities are also leading initiatives that both address the root causes and develop resiliency to the detrimental impacts of environmental degradation. While gender equity and local access are principles of the Green Climate Fund, the challenge is to assure that local actors and women-led groups are accredited and facilitated to access climate financing. This discussion will bring together speakers from global, regional and local levels to talk about the opportunities and the challenges in making this vision a reality. A case study of work being done in Indonesia will be highlighted.

Speakers: Carla Lopez, Executive Director Central American Women's Fund and lead partner, Green Alliance for Gender Action / Terry Odendahl, President and CEO, Global Greengrants Fund / Titi Soentoro, Founder AKSI! Indonesia / Neni Rochaeni, Grants Manager The Samdhana Institute, Indonesia / Jacob Waslander, Dutch Board member to Green Climate Fund and Head of Climate and Energy Division, The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Facilitated by Cindy Coltman, Programme officer climate finance, Both ENDS
