We are very pleased to announce the receipt of a grant from the Wallace Global Fund to support WOCAN’s new initiative, Building the Field for Gender and Climate Finance.
This will support the initiation of a group of diversified public and private funders of both the climate and gender lens investing communities in order to coordinate action to achieve increased levels of funding and the identification of innovative mechanisms to overcome hurdles to funding women-focused climate projects and entrepreneurs. Four initial meetings will be held in 2020, around events that will be attended by investors/funders and influencers of gender equality, climate and gender lens initiatives. These include: CSW/Beijing +25, Gender Lens Investing Summit, London Climate Week, and Asia Venture Philanthropy Network Annual Conference.
