The Global South House was formed to address the imbalance in global financial flows towards climate action, nature, and people in the global South. It aims to ensure that more resources reach local actors, especially Indigenous Peoples, traditional communities, youth-led initiatives, and gender-focused agendas. The members of the Global South House are locally rooted funds that operate from the ground up, with democratic, accessible, and transparent funding mechanisms. These funds prioritize proximity to communities, allowing for rapid response mechanisms and building trust with marginalized groups most affected by climate impacts. The funds prioritize community involvement and decision-making in resource allocation, with transparent governance models to reduce risks and costs for funders. They focus on intersectional and community-driven monitoring and learning systems, aiming to redistribute power to communities and strengthen autonomy for systemic change.
