The “Women For Climate Finance” Campaign is a dedicated advocacy initiative that strives to address the pressing need for increased climate finance specifically directed towards women in Africa. Recognizing the crucial role African women play in climate change response and their disproportionate vulnerability to its impacts due to traditional gender roles, this campaign seeks to rectify the existing inequities.
While developed countries, responsible for the historical causes of climate change, have yet to fulfill their commitment of providing $100 billion USD for climate finance in developing nations, climate finance for women remains significantly inadequate considering the daily impacts they endure. The #Women4ClimateFinance advocacy gained prominence on the road to COP26 in Scotland and continued to receive attention during COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt This ongoing advocacy will persist during the journey towards COP28, where African women will lobby, influence decision-making processes, and add their voices to all climate finance-related negotiations, including advocating for the establishment of loss and damage finance.
We invite you to join us in championing this crucial cause, advocating for increased climate finance specifically targeted towards women, allowing them to implement locally-led climate adaptations. Together, we can work towards a more equitable distribution of climate funds and empower women to become drivers of resilient and sustainable solutions in their communities amidst the challenges posed by climate change.
