SHARM-EL-SHEIKH (November 11, 2022) — On November 11 at CoP27, 41 grassroots women’s organizations from Asia, Africa, and Latin America launched a new advocacy network called the Women in Global South Alliance for Tenure and Climate.

The Alliance consists of women’s organizations, groups, and associations in the Global South working to scale-up direct climate finance for Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local community women and girls. Its mission is to advocate for equitable changes to current donor and governmental climate finance architecture and the global funding space to secure direct, flexible, and long-term funding for women and girls’ priorities, movements, and tenure rights agendas.
