On this #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild, we celebrate the strength and determination of girls like Aqsa Shabbir, a field hockey player from Jacobabad, Pakistan. She continues to pursue her passion for the sport despite financial challenges, societal expectations, and intensifying #extremeheat. At ADB, we are supporting girls by promoting investments in gender-responsive solutions that help them stay active and healthy as the world heats up. Together, let's ensure that climate change does not stand in the way of their future success. Learn more about our work: www.adb.org/genderandheat With insights from the original article by Zofeen T.

The Philippines is taking a strategic step forward. On October 7, the Climate Change Commission Philippines, with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Agence Française de Développement, launched the Philippines Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Gender Action Plan. Under the Paris Agreement, the Philippines committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75% and increase renewable energy’s share of power generation to 35% in 2030 and 50% by 2040. The country now has a stand-alone document that provides a clear and actionable pathway to integrate gender considerations into climate policies.

Last week, Keiko Nowacka, Neil Ramsden, Lagi Fisher and I had a fruitful mission to Fiji, engaging with key partners to accelerate the progress of the WE Finance Code. We appreciate the ADB Trade & Supply Chain Finance Program and Roberto Leva for giving us the opportunity to share about the WE Finance Code with regional financial institutions and women entrepreneurs. We found the discussion with Fijian women entrepreneurs especially insightful to inform the work we're doing with FIs. We are grateful to the incredible women who shared their stories. We are fortunate to have Reserve Bank of Fiji as a committed partner to advance women's financial inclusion in Fiji. With their support, four pioneering institutions Westpac Fiji, SPBD Microfinance Network, South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX), Merchant Finance Pte Limited formally endorsed the WE Finance Code and committed to collect and analyze supply-side data on women-owned business which will greatly increase funding available to WMSMEs. We look forward to working with many more FIs in FIji and beyond. Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi), #WEFinanceCode
