Indigenous Women on the Front Line: Climate Justice and Direct Funding

Join us for an impactful panel organized by GATC, ANMIGA, COICA, and IPAS, bringing together Indigenous women leaders from around the globe to advocate for a transformative approach to climate finance!

Why This Matters

• Less than 1% of global climate funding directly supports Indigenous-led organizations.
• Bureaucratic obstacles prevent urgent resources from reaching those most affected.
• Indigenous territories safeguard more carbon than many formal reserves, yet they remain excluded from decision-making.

This panel transcends rhetoric with a strategic call for direct, accessible, and culturally relevant funding mechanisms, emphasizing the voices of those protecting our planet’s crucial ecosystems.
