Today, through the Voices for Climate Change Justice Project, we joined CSOs, partners, religious mother bodies, and other stakeholders in a fruitful engagement with Malawi’s Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Climate Change. We pushed for increased financing, greater accountability, and stronger disaster preparedness for climate-induced risks, especially with the anticipated Super El Niño, to ensure vulnerable communities are protected and empowered. The Committee Chairperson, Honourable Tiaone Hendry, Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Climate Change, welcomed the dialogue, urging CSOs and faith leaders to normalize engagement with parliamentarians on climate change and financing for better planning, budgeting, and response. Faith leaders and CSOs presented a communique, lobbying for stronger representation and voice in climate financing. During the engagement, our partner CEPA presented the committee with comprehensive research findings that highlighted huge gaps in climate financing, governance, and equity, among others. This initiative is proudly funded by the Embassy of Ireland.
