Project: Equality Data Survey for the Climate Finance Fund

Project duration: September 2023 - December 2025

Supported by the Climate Finance Fund

Climate finance is a key component of climate policy. The latter can only be successful if inequalities in the climate sector are addressed. Against this backdrop, the representative study in cooperation with the Climate Finance Fund examines the diversity of executives and board members among all organisations and companies supported by the Climate Finance Fund in Europe in terms of ‘ethnic’ origin, disability, age, sexual identity, caring responsibilities, social background and gender. A total of 20 organisations from five European countries took part in the survey. The survey was conducted in English, French and German in compliance with the GDPR and country-specific data protection regulations. The study enables both a performance review and possible strategy adjustment for the CFF, which has set itself the goal of providing increased support to organisations that are led or owned by people of colour or women and work on climate-friendly financing solutions.
