This session seeks to propose responses to current challenges for sustaining and strengthening investments in environmental actions. Speakers will promote reflection on factors that strengthen the stakeholder ecosystem for environmental efforts. They will highlight the need to reconsider various forms of philanthropy and recognize that no single sector or actor can sufficiently invest to close development gaps in the territories; rather, joint action is required. Contributions will be recognized based on roles, knowledge and capacities, which are often overlooked, yet remain key to enabling the actions of civil society, social movements and the private sector to address climate change both inclusively and sustainably. In addition to this panel discussion, attendees will be encouraged to highlight their own lessons learned, proposals and challenges.
