The digital forum is hosted by:
At this digital forum, discover how finance can join forces with nature across Latin America and the Caribbean.
No one knows the land better than rural communities – yet the local people receive just a tiny fraction of climate finance. It’s time to work together to steward our planet for generations to come.
On 13 July, join the Luxembourg–GLF Finance for Nature platform to explore ways to support the stewardship of local communities and enterprises in Latin America and the Caribbean through sustainable finance.
This event will bring together community representatives, business leaders, financiers, policymakers and scientists to discuss how we can raise and equitably distribute funds for sustainable land use at the grassroots level.
