"Philanthropists, foundations, and bilateral donors – the question is not whether we can afford to support these [grassroots] movements, but whether we can afford not to." A powerful reflection on #COP29 from our partners at GAGGA. https://lnkd.in/er2pry4Y

Women who defend our environment from extractivism often face significant harm rooted in deep-seated structural oppression. Despite the risks to their lives and well-being, women environmental defenders play powerful and diverse roles in uniting communities while resisting exploitation. However, funding focused on addressing gender-based violence against women environmental activists represents only 0.05% of overall foundation funding for the environment. In a collaborative report from GAGGA, Global Greengrants, and SAGE Fund, we share opportunities for funders to better support this work. https://lnkd.in/eUacMRQh

Greengrants is different from other international organizations in that we don’t try to dictate an agenda from afar. Instead, we trust local people to advance solutions and strategies that will best fit their needs, providing them the resources to make their ideas a reality.
