Getting climate funding to grassroots level
Rural communities in the global South are often all too familiar with the adverse effects of climate change on their land and livelihoods, yet only 10 percent of global funds reach the local level with just 1.7 percent accessible to locally controlled organizations. It is time for grassroots organizations to take their place as required beneficiaries and accredited partners for external climate finance.
