Slow progress on USD 1.7b pledge. Indigenous leaders call for more transparency from donors

News September 08, 2022 / By: Ann Danaiya Usher

At the climate summit in Glasgow last year, a handful of donors made a historic commitment to support indigenous peoples and local communities as guardians of tropical forests. Now donors are struggling to show how much of their funding is going directly to communities rather than ending up with big NGOs, consultancies, and UN agencies. Indigenous leaders want accountability and are asking: “Where is the money?”
