Mariana Quiroga on climate finance that reaches young people
Our Geneva chair on why adaptation money keeps stopping at the national level — and what young leaders can do about it.
Mariana Quiroga chairs the Climate Action focus area in Geneva. We asked her where adaptation finance gets stuck.
“The money is real, but it stops at ministries. Young people are the ones designing local projects, and they are almost never in the room when allocations are made.”
Her session will put delegates opposite the funds that make those allocations.
