Latin America faces significant climate-related risks and vulnerabilities, with increasingly frequent and intense climate change impacts already affecting countries, economies, and communities. To effectively address these climate-induced losses and damages, it is vital to ensure equitable and adequate access to finance and other resources.
However, there is currently a mismatch between the clear needs at national or local level and existing funding sources, which are often challenging to access due to complex procedures, capacity gaps, and administrative constraints. This webinar explores how access to funding—particularly for addressing loss and damage—can be enhanced through more inclusive and equitable mechanisms.
This webinar will bring together diverse stakeholders—including government officials, financial institutions, researchers, and civil society representatives—to discuss ways to enhance access to climate funds for addressing loss and damage.
The webinar will provide a forum for identifying challenges, discussing possible solutions, and exchanging learnings and best practices on access to climate finance and funding for responding to loss and damage in Latin America.
