Climate 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 grant funding for adaptation activities to women’s groups.

- Rachel Vestergaard, Founder & CEO, Empower Co., USA
- Katie Turner, Consultant, Ecosystem Development, Gender/Climate Nexus, Impact Investing
