🌿 For the first COP ever held in Amazonia, giving a voice to Amazonian communities was essential. Yesterday at the IDFC Pavilion, @AFD_en, @Int_IDEA, and @DeliberaBrasil brought those voices forward through the event “How can climate citizen assemblies leverage the impacts of private and public finance on the resilience of the local communities in Amazonia?” Amazonian communities are on the front line of climate impacts, yet often face limited access to climate finance, fragmented support, and decision-making processes that don’t fully reflect local realities. 💡 By gathering randomly selected residents from Magalhães Barata and Barcarena (two municipalities of Pará), the assemblies enabled communities to define their own priorities for climate policies and financing, grounded in their daily challenges and opportunities. 📌 What emerged: - Clear recommendations to improve access, transparency, and responsiveness of climate finance - Locally defined priorities for adaptation, resilience, and sustainable development - Concrete opportunities for public development banks and philanthropic foundations to act together - A shared call for more inclusive, community-driven climate governance in the Amazon ▶️ Rewatch the full replay here: youtube.com/live/SXGjqTKzkP4
