Falling short: Addressing the climate finance gap for children
Despite bearing the brunt of the climate crisis, children are being failed by climate funding commitments.
Highlights
Multilateral climate funds have a key role to play in agenda-setting and in catalysing and coordinating investments which are necessary to respond to the climate crisis.
Falling short: addressing the climate finance gap for children is a study analysing how ‘child responsive’ projects funded by key multilateral climate funds are – over a 17-year period. ‘Child responsiveness’ is defined as addressing the distinct and heightened risks children experience from the climate crisis, strengthening the resilience of child-critical social services and empowering children as agents of change.
The report concludes that children are being failed by climate funding commitments, despite bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.
