This year’s Stories of Resilience lays out the need for urgent and rapid reform in how global and national climate finance is delivered, in the power dynamics between providers and recipients, and in how success is measured.
The focus must shift to supporting or building global and national systems that can deliver flexible, predictable, and accessible finance to climate vulnerable communities. To ensure that these systems meet the needs of the vulnerable, platforms and processes for communities to assess progress towards their own goals and operationalize downward accountability are necessary. While this transformational shift is likely to prove challenging, investments in supporting local agents of change in recipient countries, and public awareness and education in provider countries, can help build momentum for change.
