Financing Communities Through Solutions and Experiences

from the Savannas and the Pantanal with Global Impact

star

This panel aims to discuss the urgent need to expand and redirect financial flows toward biomes historically made invisible in global climate finance strategies. Drawing on the experiences of Fundación Semilla, Fundo Ecos, Fondo Emerger, and Fundo Tindzila, as well as the work of Global South organizations, the session will present powerful narratives about nature-based solutions (NBS) and other community mechanisms that demonstrate how resources can effectively reach territories — promoting climate justice, strengthening socio-biodiversity, and fostering local ownership. The existing solutions will be presented in contrast to the still limited scale of resource allocation.
