🤝🥂We had a full house at our Happy Hour yesterday in New York! Together with Proximate, Casa Socio-Environmental Fund (Fundo Casa Socioambiental), and Youth Climate Justice Fund (YCJF), we welcomed partners and allies to kick off #ClimateWeekNYC, reflecting on ensuring resources reach the communities they are meant for and how to amplify this message within the right circles. We heard from Juliana Tinoco, Executive Coordinator of Alianza, Maria Amalia Souza, Founder and Director of Strategic Development at Fundo Casa, Cherelle Fruean, Community Manager at YCJF, and Ben Wrobel, Editor & Co-Founder of Proximate, who shared insights on the role of locally-led development in reshaping climate philanthropy. The Happy Hour was a crucial moment to showcase how Global South actors have proven that the tools to localize climate philanthropy already exist—Global South funds being one of those key tools. Guests also had the opportunity to learn more about each of Alianza’s member funds through posters highlighting their important work in advancing socio-environmental justice. This event aimed to encourage everyone to use this week in New York to give visibility and traction to this essential agenda. 🌟 Happening today: Don’t miss our next event "From Commitment to Action: Global and Local Cooperation for Locally-Led Development" ⏰ 16:30–18:45 ET 🔗 Register for the live stream: https://lnkd.in/ePMPS6VYStay tuned for more updates from #ClimateWeekNYC! - Youth Climate Justice Fund reposted this

Casa Socio-Environmental Fund and Youth Climate Justice Fund will be joining this conversation as members of Alianza Socioambiental Fondos del Sur. #casafund brings our long standing experience and expertise in delivering support to the most vulnerable communities responsible for protecting the planet's biodiversity rich and climate regulating biomes. Join us in person or online for a rich exchange.
💡Locally-Led Development in Focus Despite global efforts to channel more resources directly to local communities, progress remains slow, with many civil society organizations facing increasing barriers to their work. As a side event to #UNGA79 and in alignment with #ClimateWeekNY, where many discussions will focus on localizing climate funding, we will gather with WINGS, GivingTuesday, and The Global Fund for Community Foundations to discuss how we can move from commitment to action in supporting community-based movements. We invite you to be part of this conversation and explore how international funding communities are shifting power and resources to those who need them most. We look forward to having you join us online! 🌍From Commitment to Action: Global and Local Cooperation for Locally-Led Development 🕓 Date & Time: 23 September 2024, 16:30–18:45 ET 👉 Register for the live stream: https://lnkd.in/ePMPS6VY - Youth Climate Justice Fund reposted this
