Making climate finance reach the ground to build climate action

New Community Territorial Finance Alliance
[cid:image003.jpg@01D8E982.30470290]
Representatives of indigenous and local community organizations from 16 countries created a Community Territorial Finance Alliance at a recent exchange of experiences<https://www.alianzamesoamericana.org/en/exchange/> in community fund management. The event was organized in Mexico by the Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests, the Mexican Network of Forest Peasant Organizations and the Forest and Farm Facility.
The new Alliance will promote a space for knowledge sharing between community financing and government organizations, banks, multilateral bodies and other actors. The aim is to transform and build financing mechanisms that respond to the needs and aspirations of the grassroots and are based on trust and mutual respect.

The experience of Purépecha indigenous community
[cid:image004.png@01D8E982.30470290]The exchange included a visit to San Jerónimo Purenchécuaro, a Purépecha indigenous community, which has worked hard to conserve forests and wetlands. The Purépecha people have currently established 2,300 hectares of their territory as areas voluntarily destined for conservation.
The visit explored finance mechanisms to support locally-led climate actions developed by the community.

Representatives of Indigenous Peoples groups, investment banks, global funding bodies and government agriculture departments shared strategies to deliver increased and better designed investment to small-scale producers at a special event during World Forest Week<https://foris.fao.org/cofo/programme/COFO_26/session/6319d39a6bd3657722ee9a8f> at FAO headquarters.

It was agreed that creative partnerships between governments, private banks and grassroots organizations would help lower the barriers perceived by both sides.

Success stories from partner countries

Small farmers improve soil health with organic fertilizers
[cid:image009.jpg@01D8E982.30470290]You're never too young to make a start. More than 30 clubs in primary and secondary schools have been set up by forest and farm producer organizations' regional networks in Tanzania to give children practical knowledge of how to restore and conserve forests. Activities started with the restoration of degraded lands around the children's schools but the impact of the initiative goes far beyond changing their surroundings.

How smallholder organizations ensure climate resilience

New publication on collective labels for biocultural diversity

[cid:image019.jpg@01D8E982.30470290]

This new report provides a collection and analysis of six case studies which introduce trailblazing shared label initiatives by smallholder organisations across Africa, Asia and Latin America. The publication explores the motivation for collective marketing action and draws lessons from smallholder organizations' efforts to give market value to product diversity, sociocultural origin and environmental sustainability.

Diversification for climate resilience: a global priority
[cid:image020.jpg@01D8E982.30470290]
As the world urgently needs to maintain agrobiodiversity to build climate resilience, Duncan Macqueen reports how smallholders' generally more productive and agrobiodiverse land use can compete economically with cash crop monoculture and ensure food security.
