Resumen

Addressing gender inequality in climate finance is crucial for reducing women’s vulnerability to climate hazards, especially in the Caribbean where the impacts of climate change are threatening economies and livelihoods. Financial inclusion for women is necessary for sustainable development and climate resilience. This report analyzes gender-based climate financing in the region, examining the global and regional climate finance landscape, and highlighting key issues related to gender equality and women’s autonomy. The report includes: an analysis of challenges and opportunities for gender equality in climate financing; trend analysis of climate finance distribution and its reach to women and women’s organizations, an evaluation of gender action plans by main climate financing mechanisms; and an examination of innovative financing initiatives from a gender perspective. This comprehensive analysis aims to enhance understanding of gender-responsive climate finance and its impact on women’s lives and livelihoods in Latin America and the Caribbean.
