Finance Day at COP28
Today is Finance, Trade, Equality and Accountability Day at COP28! At Health In Harmony our aim is to reverse tropical rainforest deforestation to halt the climate and ecological crises, we believe that the best way to do this is to listen to rainforest communities and invest precisely in their solutions (healthcare, livelihoods, and education).
As mentioned in yesterday's blog post, in West Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo, $5.2 million was invested in community solutions yielding astonishing return of 12 times the investment. This equated to over $65 million in prevented above-ground carbon loss.
Check out our video below to see what Shweta Narayan, Francis Nona, and our CEO of Business and Scale Ashley Emerson has to say about the importance of financing Indigenous climate solutions at COP28.
