BrazilThe CLIMA Fund seeks to elevate the insights and solutions of those most impacted by climate change: the women, youth, small-scale farmers, and Indigenous Peoples who tend to be the ones most often overlooked in traditional funding schemes focusing on climate, “development,” or recovery and rebuilding. For years, the four lead partner organizations have funded and partnered with leaders who authentically understand and represent the needs of their communities. Based on these experiences, the CLIMA Fund has chosen to direct its funding towards groups led by women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, and small-scale farmers demanding the opportunity and resources to fully actualize their human rights.
The CLIMA Fund places a special emphasis on women’s leadership, acknowledging the role women play at the nexus of resistance, strategy, leadership, and care of land and water. We believe that without the liberation of women leaders who can exert their power and share wisdom at the grassroots and globally, there can be little substantive, systemic change at any level.
