Gender and Outcome-Based Finance: Mobilizing Capital for Women-Centered Climate Solutions

Wednesday, 23 September 2026 | 10:30 AM–12:30 PM
Midtown Manhattan, New York City

Join WOCAN during New York Climate Week 2026 for a stakeholder dialogue examining how outcome-based and blended finance can mobilise greater investment in women-centred climate solutions.

Women are delivering measurable climate impact across adaptation, resilience, clean energy and nature-based solutions, yet significant financing gaps remain. This event will explore how innovative finance mechanisms can help close those gaps by linking capital to verified outcomes and creating stronger incentives for investment in gender-responsive climate action.

The discussion will bring together leaders working across climate finance, blended finance, impact investing, catalytic capital, gender-responsive measurement and verification, and financial inclusion to consider how existing tools, metrics and market infrastructure can move from pilot projects to scalable solutions.

Rather than a traditional panel, the event will take the form of a facilitated roundtable, featuring a short framing presentation followed by three focused discussion sessions designed to encourage practical, candid and action-oriented exchange.
