Humankind and the natural world face an intertwined triple crisis of rising inequality, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, accompanied by a climate emergency. Only systemic change can tackle such complexity.  

Climate finance – money to help developing countries reduce emissions and adapt to climate change – is the ideal ‘lubricant’ to set this systemic change in motion. However, IIED has shown that less than 10% of global climate funds prioritised local action between 2003 and 2016.  

IIED and its partners are helping to scale locally-led actions to sustainably build resilience against the triple crises by influencing finance mechanisms at all levels and establishing unconventional partnerships to catalyse change.
