Government, civil society and the private sector need to:
- Provide targeted funding for women-led initiatives focused on climate adaptation, empowering women-driven projects to address climate challenges effectively.
- Build local capacity to ensure transparency and accountability in Climate Fund usage, creating a reliable system for monitoring and reporting.
- Support and fund local organisations dedicated to training women in sustainable and climate-smart practices, enhancing local resilience.
- Prioritise gender inclusivity in government-led climate projects, ensuring equal opportunities for women’s participation.
- Increase funding allocations for climate-resilient infrastructure, especially in areas most vulnerable to climate change impacts.
- Facilitate Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to encourage private sector investment in climate resilience initiatives, fostering collaboration for sustainable solutions.
- Launch capacity-building programmes to educate local leaders, policymakers, and communities on sustainable practices, renewable energy, and resilient agricultural techniques.
- Engage communities in climate investment decisions and policymaking to ensure local needs and perspectives shape climate initiatives.
- Implement micro-financing programmes to support female entrepreneurs in green sectors, providing accessible funding for women to innovate and lead in sustainable industries.
