A discussion of Climate Finance funding streams reaching Indigenous Peoples including existing financial mechanisms directly accessible to Indigenous Peoples. Panelists will discuss current policies pertaining to Indigenous Peoples within financial mechanisms that address climate change. Finally, panelists will propose recommendations that could help ensure that adequate, appropriate, and equitable Climate Finance from public, private, and other sources flow directly to Indigenous Peoples in ways that respect their rights and self-determined priorities.
