Joko Arif, our Interim Global Climate Initiative Director, joined a panel at #ShandiaForum2024 hosted by the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities at #ClimateWeekNYC. "As we strengthen our financial commitments to Indigenous Peoples and forest communities, we must prioritize safeguarding their rights to ancestral lands," he said. "Resources should align with the systems that secure their rights and recognize their crucial role in climate solutions."
Day 2 of the Shandia Forum was full of energy right until the very end, as participants continued discussing solutions to streamline climate financing for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. Yesterday's discussions were filled with impactful stories, bold ideas, and actionable steps. Highlights include: 🌿 High-level dialogues with the Forest Tenure Funders Group, discussing the need for a renewed pledge for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, for greater financial commitments, tied with comprehensive proposals for rights protection. Financing must be a means to upholding rights and granting legal land tenure. 🌍 Insightful Q&A discussions with Nusantara and IPAs fund from Indonesia, and Mesoamerican Territorial Fund (FTM) from Mesoamerica. Bringing work to the ground, and portraying stories from the communities really show the impact every project has on transforming the realities of people and nature. 💡 Dialogue with government representatives from the US and the UK about how the future of direct financing must continue on the existing momentum. That’s what’ll shift systems to make climate financing more successful - by working with us, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, the most effective solution. Yesterday was a reminder of the strength and knowledge that Indigenous Peoples bring to the global climate movement—and how essential it is for their voices to lead in shaping the solutions. The final day of the Forum on September 26th will include a 1/2 day workshop about funds tracking as we continue to push forward on the path toward climate justice. #ShandiaForum2024 #ClimateWeekNYC #DirectFinancing https://buff.ly/3MQ5eMw 📸 Tukumã Pataxó, Kalfein Wuisan

"We have an urgent opportunity to bring a climate lens to community development work, while also embracing a people-centered approach to climate mitigation. As the challenges we face grow more interconnected, it’s increasingly clear that these traditionally separate efforts can be far more powerful when aligned. By working together, we can drive greater impact and create lasting solutions." Prithi Trivedi, our Special Initiatives Director, joined ClimateWorks Foundation's “Dual Outcomes: A Closer Look at the Intersections of Mitigation and Adaptation" panel earlier this week at #ClimateWeekNYC.

Welcome to LinkedIn, Nancy Lindborg! 🌟
President and CEO, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation | Building a just and equitable world where both people and nature flourish
As I wrap up my fourth year at The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, I’m making my way back onto social media. It’s been a busy four years for the Foundation – launching a new strategic framework, new grantmaking initiatives and meeting so many incredible grantees and partners – and I look forward to sharing future updates and engaging with folks here. Also wrapping up a packed week at United Nations General Assembly and #ClimateWeekNYC with my colleagues Meg Caldwell, Jamaica Maxwell, Joko Arif, Prithi Trivedi, and Nicole Kravec (she/her). #UNGA

This week at #UNGA79, our President and CEO Nancy Lindborg Lindborg joined critical conversations about how investing in locally led solutions is essential for creating lasting impact and a just, sustainable future. She joined Peter Laugharn from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and Don Gips from the Skoll Foundation as a co-host for the Council on Foundations' roundtable on locally led development. "When local organizations and leaders with context-specific knowledge, experiences, and connections work in concert with global actors like NGOs and governments," she said, "the likelihood of achieving lasting impact significantly increases." Nancy was also a panelist at "From Commitment to Action: Global and Local Cooperation for Locally Led Development" hosted by Alianza Socioambiental Fondos del Sur, GivingTuesday, The Global Fund for Community Foundations, and WINGS.
