61: What I learned at the UN: Part 1 - Women, Climate & Finance

  In this powerful episode of Banking on Girls, I take listeners inside the 69th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York, where I attended as a delegate with the FEZANA NGO. From Kyrgyzstan to Latin America, the stories shared at the UN revealed a deep and urgent truth: climate change is not just an environmental crisis—it’s an economic and gender justice crisis. You’ll hear: Why microfinance matters more than ever for women in climate-affected regions The problems with loan-based aid—and the need for grants and true financial partnerships Insights from global leaders like Bridget Burns (WEDO) and Young Hee (Adaptation Fund) How programs like Agro-Mujer empower women without land ownership Why women and girls must be seen as agents of change, not just aid recipients 🎧 Listen now and stay tuned for Episode 62, where we explore how AI and tech are impacting women and girls globally.
