Tropical Forests Are Under Threat | By Milieu Defensie - Friends of The Earth Netherlands

Produced by Milieudefensie – Friends of the Earth Netherlands This video highlights how direct funding can transform the global climate finance system — ensuring resources go straight to Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and grassroots groups leading real environmental change. Milieudefensie’s campaign calls for a fundamental shift in how climate funds are distributed. Instead of trickling down through layers of bureaucracy and intermediaries, direct funding ensures money flows directly to those on the frontlines of environmental protection. The video features the Nusantara Fund, a pioneering direct-funding initiative co-founded by: AMAN (Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago) ⁠KPA (Consortium for Agrarian Reform) ⁠WALHI (Indonesian Forum For The Environment) The Nusantara Fund shows how direct funding truly works: local and Indigenous communities design their own projects, submit simple proposals, and receive funds directly—without intermediaries. This model proves that when resources flow straight to the grassroots, climate action becomes more just, inclusive, and effective.
