About this grant
Friends of the Earth International is a worldwide federation of 76 environmental organizations, working collectively to address global environmental issues. Over the last grant period, the grantee was one of the key nongovernmental organizations that worked to ensure that an independent fund was established by the United Nations negotiations on climate change. In addition, in coordination with its member organization in Brazil, the grantee raised key issues related to the Inter-American Development Bank’s climate policies and the Brazilian National Development Bank’s infrastructure investments. The focus of this renewal grant will be to ensure effective finance mechanisms are developed in support of real solutions to climate change.
