The second session of our five part series on women's rights and climate finance, Gender Mainstreaming in Climate Finance Mechanisms, provided an overview of how gender equality has been mainstreamed into global climate finance mechanisms, including a deep dive on gender considerations under the Green Climate Fund by Liane Schalatek of the Heinrich Boell Foundation - North America.
The fourth webinar of a five part series on women's rights and climate finance: Strategies for Organizing to Influence, Monitor, and Track Climate Finance (from Global to Local), focused on strategies to engage with various actors to both facilitate and advocate for the meaningful inclusion of the perspectives and experiences of women's groups, affected communities, and other civil society stakeholders in the design and implementation of projects and programs.
Join us for the third session of this five-part series on women's rights and climate finance, aimed at building knowledge and power to ensure finance flows benefit local women's groups, respond to community needs and respect human rights.
This Introduction to Climate Finance is the first of a five part series on women's rights and climate finance, aiming to build knowledge and power to ensure finance flows are benefiting local women's groups, responding to community needs and respecting human rights.

Na een drukke week vol side-events, gesprekken, onderhandelingen én corona, zijn onze collega's Daan en Niels weer terug op kantoor in Utrecht. Samen blikken ze terug op hun ervaringen en successen tijdens de klimaattop COP27 in Egypte.
Klimaatactie is keihard nodig om de opwarming van de aarde te beperken. De gevolgen van klimaatverandering zijn nu al te merken. Overstromingen in Pakistan en dicht bij huis kosten levens en zorgen voor veel emotionele en economische schade, terwijl lokale klimaatoplossingen nog steeds grotendeels genegeerd worden. Daarom zal Both ENDS aanwezig zijn tijdens de klimaattop COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypte.
The Green Climate Fund aims to support transformational pathways to climate-resilient development, intends to reach those most vulnerable, and commits to a gender-sensitive approach. This session presents an important way of putting these commitments into practice: by engaging small grants funds. These funds can provide the much needed channel between large international institutions and local communities adapting to climate change, and assure financing reaches women and men to contribute to transformative climate action. But how to make this shift in how financing is delivered? The audience will be actively engaged in the discussion to come to concrete suggestions to strengthen local access and gender responsiveness of climate finance.
