About this session
Are we connecting climate finance commitments to climate frontline communities? This panel discussion brings together leading voices from across Oceania to discuss how the climate finance landscape can be transformed to deliver more equitable and accessible finance that actually reaches local communities. Led by political experts, activists, indigenous people and local communities, the discussion will examine shifting geopolitics, and existing barriers related to inclusion and local access as we try to understand the scale of reform needed as we work to create a climate-just future for Pacific Islanders in all their diversity.
