EnABLE Delivers Inclusive Climate Finance

In its newly released annual report for fiscal year 2026 (FY26), EnABLE documents significant impact in facilitating the inclusion of Indigenous and local communities and other vulnerable groups in 14 of the World Bank’s emission reductions initiatives.  As of the end of FY26, the program had engaged 240 local civil society organizations, reached 45,000 people directly and close to 187,000 people indirectly, and expanded access to carbon benefits to 20,000 additional people. Nearly 16,500 people have benefited from job-focused support, and more than 31,000 have strengthened their skills and capacities. In addition, by addressing structural barriers, supporting alternative livelihood strategies, and promoting long-term community adaptation and resilience, efforts have begun to generate invaluable noncarbon benefits. As of the end of FY26, 341 community enterprises had gained access to noncarbon benefits, helping Indigenous local producers, forest-dependent communities, women, and youth strengthen their income-generating opportunities linked to sustainable forest management.

Results also point to the long-term sustainability of EnABLE’s approach: by working through trusted local CSO partners—and using train-the-trainer methods to ensure results have impact beyond intervention timeframes—EnABLE is building a durable network of institutions capable of representing and sustaining the empowered engagement of its constituencies.
