The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and CIF will be hosting a workshop as part of the official program of COSP/CSF activities to reflect on the best approaches for disability-inclusive climate strategies in climate investment projects and seek inputs directly from the organizations of persons with disabilities.
It would aim to advance dialogue with climate finance providers and representatives of CBM Global, GDI Hub, UN partners and World Bank to generate new actionable knowledge, as well as facilitate networking and coalition building.
It would also serve as an opportunity to further disseminate information about Disability Inclusion in Climate Finance Background Note.
The workshop would aim to bring together representatives of:
Organizations of Persons with Disabilities - Representatives of Donor Governments providing bilateral finance to the climate agenda - Representatives of MCF's Implementing Agencies - Multilateral Development Banks (WBG, ADB, AfDB, IADB, EBRD) and UN Agencies
The workshop would be conducted as a participatory consultation, seeking to gather inputs from the participants on the following questions: - What are the key challenges persons with disabilities face in accessing all the benefits of climate adaptation and mitigation projects? - What actions can climate finance providers take to increase inclusion? - What are the emerging best practices on disability inclusion climate adaptation and mitigation?
