How can we finance climate action and biodiversity conservation without compromising human rights and social justice?
On 18 November 2026, at COP31, Climate Chance and WECF will bring together a range of committed stakeholders to discuss how gender equality and human rights can be integrated into financing strategies for climate and biodiversity projects.
The discussion will feature Sevidzem Ernestine Leikeki (CAMGEW, Cameroon), Mouctar Baldé (UPA DI, Guinea), Dorothée Bafalikike Lisenga (CFLEDD, Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Binta Lopes Rodrigues (Climate Chance).
