SUMMARY:Beyond Carbon: Empowering Women\, Financing Climate Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:For the first time\, carbon projects are not only reducing emissions but also delivering verified\, measurable benefits for women. This groundbreaking session highlights pioneering initiatives in India—solar water pumps of a women’s social enterprise and livelihood activities linked to a mangrove restoration project—that apply the W+ Standard to quantify women’s empowerment across time savings\, knowledge\, and income generation\, alongside carbon reductions. \n​Featuring Jeannette Gurung\, Founder of WOCAN and the W+ Standard\, alongside Sandeep Roy Choudhury the Co Founder & Director of Value Network Ventures and Elizabeth Munee Kiamba (Financial Sector Specialist at CGAP) \n​Speakers will demonstrate how these projects generate new revenue streams through gender outcome credits while strengthening climate resilience and community well-being. \n​Participants will learn how investors\, corporates\, and carbon buyers can engage with this next generation of high-impact carbon projects that put women at the center of climate action. \nRegister HERE
