@CARETanzania Country Director, Prudence Masako, closes the #COP31 side event on Unlocking Climate Finance for Climate Resilient Agriculture highlighting how the 1 thing missing in our work is FINANCE.
“Women and girls are not waiting for climate change. They are adapting now.”
❗️Some important questions are getting asked at our #COP31 side event happening now at the Tanzania Pavilion:
- How can public & concessional finance be used to bring private capital into agriculture?
- What does repayment look like?

CARE's new report reveals USD20bn in climate loan repayments due in 2024. By 2036, annual repayments could exceed new climate lending if current lending levels persist. We need grants, not more debt. #COP31

📢 Press Release: https://t.co/DWVt9CZWF7
As world leaders gather for #COP31, the challenge is no longer making more promises, but delivering on those already made. @CARE calls on governments to turn #climate commitments into concrete, equitable, deliverable actions on the ground.
POLICY PAPER: https://t.co/xvkBr12I4k
📢 NEW POLICY BRIEF on AA
CARE's policy brief calls for a shift in #AnticipatoryAction: more predictable&flexible financing, women's meaningful participation in decision-making, & approaches that protect the #climate & environment, thus protecting communities from future shocks.
Only 3 days left until #COP31. At CARE, we aren't just showing up to observe. We bring decades of locally led evidence, push for accessible, grant-based #adaptation finance, and advocate for gender-responsive #climateaction. 🧡
🔗 Key asks: https://t.co/YCRPWQbIyN
#Climate shocks, income loss, & #foodinsecurity drive families to extreme measures like marrying off daughters to survive. Fighting the #ClimateCrisis = defending rights of women & girls—most affected& key to the solution.
🧡 Together against inequality. #ClimateChangeIsSexist
Did you know that fetching water is women’s responsibility in many countries? #Droughts make finding water take longer, meaning:
🔸 Girls stop attending school.
🔸 Women have less time to work = less money & autonomy.
🧡 Together against inequality.
#ClimateChangeIsSexist
⏳ 7 days until #COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye 🇹🇷
COP31 decisions will directly impact millions of lives—especially women & girls who bear a disproportionate share of #climate impacts.

Humanitarian funding is falling by 68% while hunger rises. Now, the 2026/27 El Niño puts 172.3M women & girls at risk.
We have the tools to stop this—every $1 in early action yields $7 in benefits.
