How does social inclusion support people and programs?
Social inclusion in emissions reduction programs means ensuring that marginalized communities and disadvantaged groups have a voice in the planning and implementation of initiatives and equal access to benefits. Their full participation and participation amplifies the impact of these programs in three key ways:
1. These groups are motivated to maintain or achieve high-quality emissions reductions that have passed a rigorous verification process. Verification triggers pay-for-results, allowing you to invest in further emissions reduction measures and community action. Communities can build a track record of generating carbon credits that can be monetized and traded on international carbon markets, enabling the flow of climate finance to continue and expand.
2. Well-designed comprehensive emissions reduction programs increase community participation in marginalized and disadvantaged communities to address the drivers of carbon emissions and reverse trends over time We provide a platform for This allows, for example, tree-planting efforts to be carried out more effectively and clean energy technologies, such as clean cookstoves and solar panels, to be disseminated more quickly. Integrating local people’s insights and feedback into program design and implementation creates more robust and effective programs. Developing countries can then leverage on this expanded pool of experience and committed actors as they seek to build the infrastructure and institutional capacity to engage in carbon markets on their own.
3. Emissions reduction programs are designed to support “non-profits” that are considered positive social, environmental, and governance outcomes, such as preserving traditional practices, protecting ecosystem services, gender empowerment, improving health outcomes, and securing land tenure. It also generates carbon benefits. Non-carbon benefits not only support the pursuit of equality for marginalized communities, but also make emissions reduction programs more sustainable by strengthening community buy-in and making local cultures safer.

What does social inclusion actually look like?
Based on the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), the World Bank’s emissions reduction programs create important opportunities to advance social inclusion and development outcomes. For example, the World Bank’s new trust fund, Enabling Access to Benefits While Reducing Emissions, helps the Lao government bridge language, financial, and capacity gaps to help the Lao government settle emissions reduction programs. This will help us meaningfully engage with the 46 ethnic minority communities in the country. area. They do not speak Lao, the main Thai language, and are socially and geographically isolated, putting them at risk of exclusion. To engage them in emissions reduction programs, Enable is dedicated to adapting communication and facilitation materials and tools so that important information can be shared in ethnically and culturally appropriate and accessible ways. provide support.
Enable has also partnered with FCPF to launch a new podcast series by and for indigenous peoples living in forested areas around the world. The program, called Get REDDy, will see local community leaders share their experiences with emissions reduction programs, demystify results-based climate finance, and provide on-the-ground support to disadvantaged and marginalized communities. Empowering people to be stewards of climate action. This will enable local community leaders to share their experiences with emissions reduction programs, demystify results-based climate finance, and empower disadvantaged and marginalized communities to take ownership of climate action on the ground. can be given.
Enable is an affiliate fund of the new Scaling Climate Action by Lowering Emissions (SCALE) umbrella trust fund, which positions social inclusion as a central focus of all SCALE programs. The World Bank works top-down and bottom-up to ensure that all people and all communities can participate in and benefit from building a low-carbon future.
