SUMMARY:Redefining Climate Financing: How Indigenous Led Funds (ILFs) are Shaping Equitable and Accessible Climate Solutions
DESCRIPTION:The event will be an engaging panel discussion with representatives of Indigenous Peoples Led Funds (ILFs) to shed light on critical role Indigenous Peoples are playing in reshaping the traditional climate financing by making it accessible to the Indigenous Peoples. As COP29 sets a new climate finance goal\, the donor community should engage with\nILFs that are transforming traditional funding practices to better meet the needs of Indigenous Peoples.\nObjective of the session:\n• Facilitate a dialogue on the values and strategies of Indigenous-led funds in advancing climate action for Indigenous Peoples and their communities?\n• Explore how emerging climate finance goals can be effectively and strategically aligned to address the specific the needs and priorities of Indigenous Peoples?\n• Identify actionable pathways to mobilize resources\, both within and beyond the donor community\, for climate action initiatives centered on Indigenous leadership and participation \nREGISTER HERE\n

SUMMARY:Commitments in Action: Direct Funding to Empower Indigenous Women in Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Context/Background:\nIndigenous Women have long been recognized as stewards of the environment\, holding Indigenous Knowledge critical to biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. Their leadership in preserving ecosystems\, managing natural resources\, and implementing climate adaptation strategies is indispensable. Yet\, they remain systematically marginalized and excluded from accessing resources. This exclusion results from multiple barriers\, including structural inequalities\, exclusion from decision-making spaces\, limited financial literacy\, and insufficient\ngender-responsive financial instruments. \nThe $1.7 billion climate pledge made during COP26 was aimed to address these inequities\, but progress has been slow. As of 2022\, only 7% of the total funding reached Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs)\, with just 2% being directly channeled to Indigenous-led organizations. Most climate finance continues to flow through intermediaries such as Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) like the World Bank Group\, IMF and commercial financial institution. The climate finance access mechanism is ridden with complex bureaucracy\, limiting the direct access of Indigenous Women and their communities. Without direct access to climate finance\, Indigenous women face challenges in scaling their climate adaptation and mitigation efforts\, which are critical to both local and global climate goals. Furthermore\, the recent study conducted by IFIP and FIMI shows that of the 28.5 billion philanthropic grants given from 2016-2020 to supporting women and girls\, only 392 million (1.4%) was allocated to organizations benefiting Indigenous Women. \nAs global climate finance continues to expand\, there is a critical need to address these structural barriers and ensure that Indigenous women have the resources required to scale their work effectively. Philanthropic organizations have a crucial role to play in filling funding gaps and supporting Indigenous women-led initiatives through targeted funding mechanisms. \nObjectives\n• Assess the current Status of Climate Finance and the gaps in existing financial mechanism\, particularly in ensuring direct\, funding to Indigenous Women\n• Discuss pathways to create more inclusive\, equitable\, accessible\, and direct climate finance models to close the finance gap.\n• Foster collaboration among funders to scale up financial support for Indigenous women’s climate projects. \nKey Outcomes:\n• Amplify understanding of Indigenous Women’s contributions to climate resilience and their critical need for climate finance to support their leadership.\n• Identify key gaps preventing direct funding access for Indigenous women.\n• Strengthened commitment from funders to implement and support financial models that prioritize direct\, equitable funding for Indigenous women-led climate initiatives \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:An Eye Towards COP29
DESCRIPTION: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.\nIndigenous 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:\n1. Climate finance goals that equally target mitigation and adaptation projects as Indigenous Peoples are closely tied to natural ecosystems\,\n2. Funding to preserve traditional and Indigenous knowledge\, support climate resilient livelihoods and Indigenous-led conservation initiatives.\n3. Climate finance mechanisms which are directly accessible with fewer bureaucratic hurdles and managed by Indigenous Peoples.\nTherefore\, we urge philanthropic communities to take a leading role in shaping the new climate finance foals and delivery mechanisms. \nTo 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. \nPanelists:\n1. Sara Olsvig – International Chair at the Inuit Circumpolar Council\n2. Casey Box – The Christensen Fund –\n3. Heather McGray- Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF) \nREGISTER
