An Eye Towards COP29
October 9 @ 7:00 am - 8:30 am
Climate finance will be a key agenda in the upcoming COP29. Negotiation will focus on establishing a new climate fiancé goal, known as the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG), which is likely to aim for trillions of dollars annually to support climate adaption, mitigation and loss and damage. The NCQG is set to replace the USD 100 billion goal annually by 2020 established in COP15, which has failed to meet the growing demand of climate finance.
Indigenous People’s organizations and philanthropic communities have a crucial role to play in shaping these new climate finance goals by amplifying the key demands of Indigenous Peoples atCOP29, including:
1. Climate finance goals that equally target mitigation and adaptation projects as Indigenous Peoples are closely tied to natural ecosystems,
2. Funding to preserve traditional and Indigenous knowledge, support climate resilient livelihoods and Indigenous-led conservation initiatives.
3. Climate finance mechanisms which are directly accessible with fewer bureaucratic hurdles and managed by Indigenous Peoples.
Therefore, we urge philanthropic communities to take a leading role in shaping the new climate finance foals and delivery mechanisms.
To amplify the Indigenous voices and address their priorities at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, this year, International Funders for Indigenous Peoples (IFIP) is hosting a pre-COP29 briefing webinar titled “An Eye Towards COP29” where we invite you to join us as we explore key issues on the COP29 agenda that impact Indigenous Peoples and the financial resources needed to support their rights. We’ll also delve into the New Climate Finance Goal (NCQG) and discuss the demands from Indigenous communities around this goal. This event will provide a unique opportunity for funders to collaborate with Indigenous Peoples and find new ways to mutually support advocacy efforts at COP29.
Panelists:
1. Sara Olsvig – International Chair at the Inuit Circumpolar Council
2. Casey Box – The Christensen Fund –
3. Heather McGray- Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF)
