UN Commission on the Status of Women, Parallel Event
Join us during our virtual CSW66 Parallel event to learn about financing women's organizations using climate finance and markets.
MARCH 22, 2022
11 a.m. PST / 2 p.m. ESTClimate finance and markets could enable women entrepreneurs and women’s groups to benefit from climate mitigation and adaptation projects, while de-risking activities for environmental project developers and impact investors. Speakers will showcase opportunities to scale up women’s groups and women-led enterprises managing climate projects by catalyzing new funding. WOCAN will share its experiences with the W+ Standard to measure gender outcomes in climate mitigation projects in Africa and Asia that bring additional funding for adaptation activities to women’s groups. Empower Co. will share about establishing and scaling a voluntary market to value and scale women's work in such projects.
