Old Finance with a New Spin: Climate Finance and Impacts on Indigenous Peoples

  • Indigenous Peoples Pavilion. COP 29 Blue Zone, Zone D, CP4. Baku, Azerbaijan (map)

Host Organisation

Indigenous Environmental Organization

Description

Historically, global financial systems have funded irrevocable harm at extraction sites and caused debt in the Global South. The banks and development institutions that have financed extractive industries targeting Indigenous Peoples' territories in the North and South, are the same institutions that build so-called climate finance. Indigenous Peoples, women and climate impacted communities require finance, but will it be the same old finance that causes harm, violence, and extraction?

This Round Table will discuss the historical legacy of financial institutions and highlight how climate finance at COP 29 fails to address the inequality embedded in these systems.
