Greetings!

This month, we look back on London Climate Action Week events that we co-hosted with partners and attended to draw out highlights from discussions we had on how gender outcomes can boost carbon markets and climate finance.

Throughout the week, our conversations reinforced—and deepened—what we have long believed: women's empowerment and leadership are fundamental to the durability, integrity, and long-term success of climate projects. They also affirmed that existing carbon markets and other outcomes-based finance mechanisms can be harnessed to deliver both environmental and social impactss by recognising, measuring, and rewarding women's contributions.

Whether the discussion centered on the integrity of carbon markets or the future of outcomes-based finance, one message consistently emerged: women are not simply participants in climate action—they are essential to delivering lasting, equitable, and high-impact solutions.

What distinguished this year's London Climate Action Week was not the novelty of these ideas, but the growing recognition of them. For the first time, we saw these concepts resonating across a much broader community of investors, carbon market actors, policymakers, and project developers, signalling that gender-responsive climate finance is moving from the marginstod the mainstream.

In this edition, we share the highlights and key learnings from those conversations, as well as the partnerships and ideas that will help us continue moving our work forward in the months ahead.
