Briefings

A 2021 UN Climate Change Conference pledge to fund Indigenous land rights exceeded its target by 35%, delivering $2.35 billion between 2021 and 2025. However, direct funding to Indigenous and local communities remained low, with only 7.2% of funds reaching these groups in 2025. Data shows direct funding share increased from 2.9% in 2021 to 10.6% in 2023 but decreased to 7.6% in 2024. The Pawanka Fund, led by Indigenous people, channels resources directly, yet intermediaries like NGOs and consultancies still dominate the flow. Coverage is limited to the 2021 pledge period and 2025 reporting.
