Rainforest Foundation Norway’s report “Indigenous people receive little climate funding” shows that Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs), despite being highly effective at protecting rainforests, received only about $270 million per year on average (2011–2020)—equivalent to less than 5% of ODA for General Environmental Protection and under 1% of ODA for climate mitigation/adaptation—with only ~17% of that funding (≈$46.3M/yr) explicitly directed to IPLC organisations and much support routed through large intermediaries; included in Part 1: The Purposeful Investor, Chapter “Your Worth And Power of the Collective,” the source is used to evidence a systemic misalignment of capital and to argue that individual and collective financial and political action must be redirected toward securing land tenure and providing direct, equitable funding to IPLCs as a cost‑effective way to scale climate and biodiversity protection.
