It offers a rare and necessary portrait of how climate finance works in practice when it reaches where it should: the territories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The publication matters because it reveals, through concrete data, what social and environmental leaders have said for decades: solutions to the climate crisis already exist\u2014and they emerge from the territories. What is missing is for resources to follow these pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study shows that adaptation is the central axis of supported initiatives, with actions in water security, agroecology, cultural strengthening, and territorial protection directly addressing the impacts of climate change already being felt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitigation appears integrated into the daily lives of those who keep the forest standing, through community-led monitoring, ecological restoration, local recycling, and renewable energy solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A just transition emerges as a cross-cutting dimension, present in income generation, low-carbon economies led by women and youth, and in the defense of rights and community autonomy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly half of the Casa Fund\u2019s grants in the period analyzed combine mitigation and adaptation simultaneously\u2014demonstrating that the categories debated in global forums are, in practice, inseparable for communities. And while the Amazon concentrates a significant share of resources, the publication calls attention to the urgent need to expand financing in historically neglected biomes such as the Caatinga, Cerrado, Pantanal, and Pampa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over two decades, the Casa Fund has become one of the few philanthropic mechanisms in Brazil able to transfer resources quickly, simply, and at scale to grassroots organizations. This publication shows that the Casa Fund works directly across the three major pillars of the international agenda: <strong>mitigation, adaptation, and just transition.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>From Territory to Climate Action<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the third and final volume of the <\/span>Building Climate Justice<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> series, which has become a reference by documenting how communities confront the climate crisis through nature-based solutions, local governance, and rights defense. For researchers, funders, public policy practitioners, or anyone seeking to understand how climate action takes shape across Brazil\u2019s diverse territories, this publication is essential reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lp.casa.org.br\/building-climate-justice#\"><span>Click here to download the full publication.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Third volume of the series Building Climate Justice shows how mitigation, adaptation, and a just transition are already happening on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":9624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
