Facilitating an ecosystem of philanthropy and leveraging capacity-building resources to empower women to create sustainable livelihoods and enhance their climate resiliency.
The Caribbean faces unique challenges, with climate change posing a significant threat. Women are disproportionately impacted due to longstanding inequities, facing greater risks to their livelihoods, health, and safety. Yet, their vulnerability is their strength, as their unique perspectives, roles, and contributions are indispensable in combating climate change.
On September 19th, 2023, at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City, the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance made a bold commitment.
Through Women-Led Climate Philanthropy, we pledged to mobilize over $2 million in financial and capacity-building support to civil society organizations and women-led climate initiatives by 2025. This commitment centers on elevating women's leadership in climate response.
At CGI, CEO Anthea McLaughlin and Board Chair Rosalea Hamilton stressed the importance of supporting NGOs and women leaders through an intentional ecosystem.
