Location: Innovation Zone, Climate Action Stage
Conveners: Forest Trends and Wildlife Works
The panel will bring together Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLC) representatives, along with experts on nature-based solutions and carbon markets, for a discussion about the importance of channeling climate finance directly to IPLCs. More climate financing, especially directly to the IPLCs at the frontlines of climate change, would enable us not only to protect nature but also to fund sustainable development for those that live in and around the world’s carbon-rich forests.
