Making climate finance reach the ground to build climate action
New Community Territorial Finance Alliance
Representatives of indigenous and local community organizations from 16 countries created a Community Territorial Finance Alliance at
a recent exchange of experiences 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. Read the webstory about the territorial

How smallholder organizations ensure climate resilience
New publication on collective labels for biocultural diversity
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
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. |
