COP30: Report shows suburbs facing climate crisis without funding


Prepared to be presented at COP30, the study reveals racial and territorial inequalities in access to financial resources


Summary

The report shows that the suburbs do a lot with little: they are the ones that support healthcare networks, agroecology, reforestation and food sovereignty, but continue to be the least financed and the least listened to.




Prepared for presentation at COP30, the report Guidelines for climate philanthropy it proves it 82.3% of peripheral organizations carry out actions related to the environmental agenda, but only 15.9% access financing. The report will be presented on November 12th at 6.00 pm CastanhalBelém metropolitan region.

The study brings together data from 113 peripheral organizations from all regions and biomes of the country, as well as qualitative information collected in an immersion with 20 organizations from Recife (PE). This meeting mapped local adaptation practices and social technologies aimed at climate justice.

Half of the peripheral organizations interviewed are informal, without CNPJ. This prevents them from competing in public tenders and accessing the main donation funds. Informality, according to the report, is due to bureaucratic barriers and historical exclusion from institutional funding structures.



The Cabanagem neighborhood, named after a historical movement, emerged in the late 1980s.

How are Recife’s favelas fighting the climate crisis?

During the meeting in Recife, the 20 participating organizations mapped concrete actions to combat climate extremes, such as the presence of sensors and flood warning networks. They found bioconstructions, heat-adapted housing and other solutions.

Among these, green roofs, vegetable gardens, reforestation initiatives, donation and hospitality networks. According to the report, the varied solutions they exist because the suburbs cannot wait for funding. As always, they go to fight.

Guidelines for climate philanthropy was prepared by the PIPA Initiative and the MIRĂŤ Coletivo. In addition to presenting the report during COP30, the collectives will participate in roundtables and discussions throughout the event.



Located in the Belém metropolitan region, the city of Castanhal is 68 kilometers from the capital. The Coletivo MIRÍ operates in the area.

But ultimately, what explains a report produced in Castanhal?
