The 4th Financing for Development Conference, scheduled for July 2025, presents a critical opportunity to advance climate financing for developing countries, taking into account their unique needs, circumstances, and capacities.
IISD's Funding the Future webinar highlights how federal programs can better support nature-based solutions—and why doing so matters now more than ever.
To combat climate change, the world needs to start phasing out fossil fuel production. But what if investors sue? Investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) claims allow fossil fuel companies to sue governments over phase-out policies, presenting a barrier to climate action. A recent IISD report offers guidance on how to approach fossil fuel phase-outs amid ISDS risks.
IISD hosted this webinar in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to unpack what protected areas are, the benefits they offer for both people and nature, and why they are a vital part of climate adaptation. The webinar also showcased real-world examples of how nature-based solutions, local community engagement, and climate adaptation efforts can work together to build more resilient ecosystems and livelihoods.
