we’re joining Project Dandelion in calling for an urgent escalation in our collective efforts.”
At the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, we are working to deliver progress on all of these issues.
We are working at the system level, supporting partners to restructure the global finance architecture so that climate and development decisions are made by those most affected and finance flows to those who need it most. This work is shaping the economy of the future, too – one based on long-term investment for growth and prosperity, and meaningful, green jobs. It is critical we prioritize women and girls in this work.
We’re working from our offices around the world to support vanguard countries and cities to lead the way in the global transition, and build resilience in the face of climate shocks, particularly in the agricultural sector.
And we’re supporting countries to realise their gender dividend – through integrated investments focused on supporting girls and young women to access quality healthcare and complete secondary education, and to acquire meaningful employment, in a climate-positive world.
On top of all this, we’re joining Project Dandelion in calling for an urgent escalation in our collective efforts. Whilst we have made huge progress, there’s so much more to do to combat the climate crisis and its intersectionalities. The issues are complex and fraught, but not without hope. We need to coalesce the necessary power and agency to deliver against the commitments made and find a way to greater speed and scale.
The CIFF team stands ready to work with all of you.
