Tailoring Inclusive Solutions to Climate Finance: The Role of Individual and Collective Inclusion

Climate finance can and should be more inclusive of marginalized and underserved groups, including women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, low-income people, and people in remote areas. To that end, we believe it is essential for private investors to distinguish between two types of inclusion when designing climate investments: Individual inclusion, which engages individual members of a marginalized group, and collective inclusion, which engages a marginalized group as a whole.
