SUMMARY:The Davos Agenda
DESCRIPTION:About The Davos Agenda: Nearly two years after the start of global disruptions due to COVID-19\, economies\, societies and organizations are continuing to grapple with the unpredictable trajectory of the virus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the week that participants were meant to come together in Davos – 17-21 January 2022 – the Forum will instead host “The Davos Agenda”\, a series of virtual plenaries aligned with the Annual Meeting objective of orienting global leaders on the imperatives of the year ahead. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Davos Agenda features a mix of visionary “state of the world” special addresses and ambitious high-level leadership panels focusing on critical collective challenges\, the Davos Agenda will mobilize heads of state and government\, business leaders\, international organizations and civil society to share their outlook\, insights and plans relating to the most urgent global issues. The meeting will also provide a platform for connection\, enabling the public to watch and interact\, through livestreamed sessions\, social media polling and virtual connections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadically different pandemic experiences have exacerbated generational\, geographical\, political and economic divides. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobal responses are lacking and the pandemic’s trajectory – as well as a range of other global challenges – will remain unmanageable unless leaders execute solutions together. Now more than ever\, the world needs to come together. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by wef\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:The Protein Transformation: A Critical Driver of the Net-Zero Economy
DESCRIPTION:The Protein Transformation: The global food system is one of the major drivers of carbon emissions\, climate change\, biodiversity loss\, and depletion of freshwater resources. A dietary shift towards more plant-based food\, and notably traditional plant-based and alternative proteins\, may be key to significantly reduce these environmental impacts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite you to join MSCI and Blue Horizon\, as we discuss the climate risks and opportunities the food sector may face due to the protein transformation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor investors\, we take a look at how MSCI ESG Research’s Climate Value-at-Risk (Climate VaR) model offers quantitative insights into how the protein transformation may be factored into company valuation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor corporate issuers\, we provide insights to help to manage climate risk exposure they may face by participating in the traditional plant-based and alternative proteins market growth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor regulators\, we explore quantitative metrics to assess the food sector’s contribution to achieving net-zero targets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by MSCI_Inc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:EV Infrastructure Summit
DESCRIPTION:As we recover from the impact of the pandemic\, the UK is seeing a real push towards EV adoption\, driven by a combination of government initiatives in support of its Net-Zero Target. The UK Environment Bill and the Government’s Transport Decarbonisation plan are key in relation to improving air quality and speeding up the associated decarbonisation of road vehicles. To what extent will they catalyse the transition to EVs and encourage investment in EV infrastructure? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe third edition of City & Financial Global’s EV Infrastructure Summit is being held in London from 18th to 19th January.

SUMMARY:Alpha in a New Era: Finding the Next Frontier in Private Equity
DESCRIPTION:Alpha in a New Era: Economic disruptions typically cause a period of hesitation to participate in markets. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis\, investors flocked to haven assets\, but this pattern shifted during the covid-19 pandemic. Equity markets reached new highs and private markets saw record inflows. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCentral banks’ swift and decisive action was an important first step that led to a new phase in private markets. The safety net provided by policymakers helped preserve market function. Private equity also stepped in to support businesses with capital\, fostering ideal conditions for transaction activity across alternative markets and helping to stave off corporate defaults. In a market flush with capital and liquidity\, the next phase for investors and allocators will bring challenges and opportunities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExuberance in private markets is giving way to the growing pains of a long and choppy economic recovery. In the next phase of the return to normalcy\, high valuations\, leverage and changes in monetary policy will bring new risks to private equity investors along with unique opportunities in overlooked sectors and markets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Economist Impact for Alpha in a New Era: Finding the Next Frontier in Private Equity\, a virtual event sponsored by PineBridge Investments\, to explore how private equity investors are positioning themselves to generate alpha in today’s changing market and how that will affect portfolio allocations for the next decade. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey questions:– How should investors and allocators prepare for changes in liquidity conditions?– How will volatility affect the availability of capital as the economic recovery from the pandemic continues?– After the recovery\, which changes in market conditions will become permanent?– What are some overlooked industries that will help investors position themselves to achieve alpha in this next phase of the economic recovery? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
