Speaker Spotlight | HerClimate Fellowship 2026
Tomorrow, the HerClimate Fellowship 2026 welcomes two exceptional climate leaders who are shaping the future of climate finance, sustainable development, and inclusive climate action.
We are honoured to spotlight Bridgette Setshedi, Manager: Climate Mitigation at the Presidential Climate Commission (South Africa), and Asna Towfiq, Senior Manager for Climate Finance at Plan International Canada.
Bridgette brings over a decade of experience in climate and energy policy, regulation, and sustainability, working across sectors including energy, mining, transport, land development, and spatial planning. Through her work at the Presidential Climate Commission, she helps shape evidence-based pathways for a just, inclusive, and low-carbon transition while championing innovation, sustainable energy, and opportunities for women and young people.
Asna Towfiq is a global sustainability and climate finance leader with over 15 years of experience driving social impact across Asia, Africa, and North America. From managing a US$200 million climate investment portfolio at the World Bank to leading climate finance initiatives at Plan International Canada, her work bridges policy, finance, and implementation to advance climate resilience, gender equity, and inclusive development for the communities most affected by climate change.
Together, they will equip our fellows with practical insights into Climate Finance and Project Design—exploring how innovative financing, strategic partnerships, and well-designed projects can transform climate ambition into measurable impact.
Fellows, tomorrow is your opportunity to learn from two accomplished leaders who are turning climate commitments into action. Come ready to engage, ask questions, and deepen your understanding of climate finance for lasting change.
Double the expertise. Double the impact.
