“We have done all the negotiations. Now we need real actions to address the climate emergency." – Gbemisola Titilope Akosa The latest text on the new climate finance goal is alarmingly insufficient. Proposed funding falls far short of climate needs. It leans on loans and private investments which have consistently failed to deliver to those most in need. It does not address human rights and gender equality. Ultimately, it does not show care for the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations. We refuse to accept this. As #COP29 comes to a close, we urgently call on the UK Government to show that they are serious about prioritising women and girls in the climate crisis. They must: 🔸 Prioritise a feminist response to the climate crisis 🔸 Push for a new global goal of at least $1 trillion in public climate finance 🔸 Ensure that any climate finance must be “new and additional”, not from existing aid budgets.

One of the key outcomes of COP29 was the ten-year extension of the Gender and Climate Change Lima Work Program, marking an important step forward in integrating gender equality with climate action globally. Mwanahamisi was a key advocate for this plan, and she believes that this framework is not only a victory for women but also a significant milestone in advancing global climate action toward fairness and justice. She urged the international community to redefine the role of women in climate action, viewing them as a core force rather than simply as beneficiaries. She stated that true climate justice must place the needs and contributions of women at the heart of action; otherwise, no policy will achieve its intended outcomes. read more: https://reurl.cc/vp5yol Women's Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) COP29 Azerbaijan 聯合國 UN Climate Change UN Environment Programme Mwanahamisi Singano Wiebke Bender Narmin Huseynova Khuraman Zeynalova Simon Stiell Mukhtar Babayev Dr Jemimah Njuki Razan Al Mubarak Liliam Chagas Young Hee L.

The updated NCGQ #climate finance goals are essential as we advance global climate action and finance as this ODI piece highlights. Furthermore, there remains an essential opportunity for integrating a #gender and broader inclusion lens in order to incorporate the needs of those most impacted by the climate crisis and to enact a more inclusive and just transition. The full spectrum of capital across asset classes can be activated here as we work towards the sustainable future we all know is possible. https://lnkd.in/emY2xAYR

(Public) Finance and Gender/Green Budgeting Expert | Inclusive Green Economy📍Public Speaker | TED Speaker
Ever-trending topic: tagging and tracking budget funds. Tagging specific allications in the budget that are, for example, climate or gender or poverty.. responsive, so we can clearly see what funds are contributing to these policy goals... 🎈The trick is to do it correctly. Tagging is one of my favorite topics, as it is just so crucial to make sure the 'real thing' is tagged. Nothing worse then inflating gender (or climate) responsive funds.... Hereby sharing an interesting blog by ODI on different ways climate and gender tagging is done (and always done separately, for that matter:) I would be really curious to hear your thoughts or experience on this? https://lnkd.in/dRkipVh5

Australian Climate Negotiator with a focus on gender equality, social inclusion and youth empowerment
👏 As Simon Stiell, the Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change, says: “Combining bold climate action with progress in gender equality is one of the most effective strategies to break away from business-as-usual scenarios and drive transformative change"👏 And there's a lot coming up at COP29 on the nexus between driving gender equality and ambitious action on climate change, including: ℹ an open information session by the UNFCCC team on Wednesday 23 October on all things gender happening in Baku in November. 📄 newly released reports on gender composition and the implementation of gender-responsive climate policies, plans, strategies and action. 📢 events and dialogues on gender equality and social inclusion at COP29, including on the gender thematic day on 21 November.

A gender-responsive #JustTransition addresses the shift to sustainable, low-carbon economies by ensuring that the needs, rights, and contributions of women and marginalized groups are integral to climate policy. This approach means more than equal job opportunities—it considers the disproportionate impact climate change has on women, who are often responsible for unpaid care work and face barriers to jobs in the green economy. COP28's Gender-Responsive Just Transitions & Climate Action Partnership focused on policy frameworks that support gender equality through better data, financing, and skills training. This partnership emphasized empowering women in climate leadership and addressing the social disparities in transitioning economies. For #COP29 to be effective, negotiations must build on the momentum from COP28, balancing attention to gender considerations with a focus on actionable progress. #FairTransitionForAll #COP29Azerbaijan Green Economy Coalition
