Women’s Increased Access to Climate Investments
The current global crisis presents a unique opportunity to put climate resilience at the center of conversations about what is important and how to build a better future for all. This podcast series shares 10 solutions for a climate-resilient post-recovery through conversations with international thought leaders.
Episode Overview
For the final interview of our series, we welcome Evelyne Batamuliza to discuss women’s access to climate finance. While gender equality is now well integrated into international climate frameworks and funds, very limited funding is actually reaching women and women’s organizations.
Evelyne calls for deliberate efforts to close this gap — ensuring that women are at the decision-making table for climate action and finance, and that commitments translate into concrete mechanisms and actions putting more resources directly into the hands of women at the local level.
