​The Gender Dividend: How Outcomes-Based Finance Can Deliver Results for Women, Investors, and Climate

​Women’s empowerment is not just a social good—it’s a measurable driver of climate impact and financial returns.

​This fireside chat explores how outcomes-based finance is unlocking a new class of investable opportunities that deliver results for women, communities, and the planet. Featuring Jeannette Gurung, Founder of WOCAN and the W+ Standard, alongside Kavita Sinha, Head of the Green Climate Fund’s Private Sector Facility; Bruna Rezende, the CEO of a social asset company in Brazil, IRIADA and Dr. Ana Maria Loboguerrero (Director, Adaptive and Equitable Food Systems – The Gates Foundation).
