Description
Women and women-led enterprises often face greater vulnerabilities to the impacts of climate change and disasters, as they are more reliant on threatened natural resources. Despite this, a large gender gap exists in sustainable/climate finance. The Women’s Finance Exchange (WFX) will virtually bring together experts from various financial institutions to share what they are doing to achieve the twin goals of gender equality and climate action through finance.
