Both ENDS
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.
Utrecht, 7 november 2022 – Grote delen van budgetten die bedoeld zijn voor klimaat, landbouw en ontwikkeling worden nog altijd uitgegeven aan landbouwprojecten die weinig bijdragen aan het tegengaan van klimaatverandering. Slechts een klein deel gaat naar initiatieven die op een transformatie van voedselsystemen gericht zijn. Dit blijkt uit een inventarisatie van milieu- en mensenrechtenorganisatie Both ENDS. De organisatie roept daarom op om het op de komende klimaattop in Egypte niet alleen over de hoeveelheid klimaatgeld te hebben, maar ook over waar dat geld aan besteed wordt.
The fifth session of our five part series on women's rights and climate finance, Experiences and Perspectives of Women Engaging in Climate Finance, shared the insights of three activists who have been serving as GCF Monitors as part of the "Women Demand 'Gender-Just' Climate Finance" initiative. They spoke about their processes of learning about climate finance and connecting with others to monitor climate finance in their communities and regions, discussed the value they have found in this work, and answered questions from webinar participants.
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.
The third session of our five part series on women's rights and climate finance, Getting the Money to the People: GCF Accreditation and Enhanced Direct Action, focused on accessing the Green Climate Fund through working with stakeholders at the country level (engaging with the National Designated Authority), utilizing Enhanced Direct Access, and seeking accreditation.
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.
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. This session will outline the climate finance landscape, as well as the key challenges and opportunities we hope to explore in this webinar series.
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.
