SUMMARY:Climate Risk North America 2022
DESCRIPTION:Climate Risk North America- Climate change could pose a serious threat to the stability of the US financial system and its ability to sustain the American economy. Already it is impacting—or is anticipated to impact—nearly every facet of the economy. Without urgent action\, the effects of climate change could damage the productivity of the economy. This will ultimately undermine its ability to generate employment\, income and opportunity.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Economist‘s Climate Risk North America US convenes investors\, regulators\, policymakers\, sustainability and finance executives\, as well as scientists to discuss the impact that climate-related risks will have on businesses\, and how management can respond. The event will examine ways of measuring exposure to physical and transition risk\, and how companies can best work together to improve climate disclosure. Our panel of experts and thought leaders will assess the tools and methodologies needed to model climate scenarios\, as well as the opportunities that emerge for businesses when transitioning to a low-carbon company.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver three days\, participants will discuss the case for speedy action on climate risk. Day 1 will examine climate-change risk management within financial services.  Day 2 will evaluate the tools and methodologies needed to analyse climate risk. Day 3 will tackle climate mitigation in high-risk sectors.  \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\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/category/climate/ \n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Future of ESG Data – Tackling Greenwashing
DESCRIPTION:Join Neudata for our first Deep Dive into the series “Future of ESG”\, as we discuss tackling Greenwashing\n\n\n\nTackling Greenwashing\n\n\n\nIn partnership with Morgan Stanley as Diamond sponsor. \n\n\n\nThis event is exclusive to Neudata and Morgan Stanley Buy-Side clients. \n\n\n\nESG topics continue to be popular with institutional investors\, particularly for those looking to understand how ESG data can help them both uncover new investing opportunities and de-risk their portfolios. \n\n\n\nThe rise in ESG’s popularity has created another concern — greenwashing. Given that ESG reporting often occurs in an unregulated environment\, firms are likely to share positive ESG information and hold back on reporting metrics that could be considered as adverse. \n\n\n\nJoin Neudata on February 17 as we discuss the issues and solutions that have helped reduce some of the bias in models based on self-reported ESG data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by neudatalab\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.
