SUMMARY:SDG Summit USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToday’s business landscape is characterized by an unprecedented\, accelerating\, and complex mix of risks and opportunities. New markets are emerging rapidly due to megatrends such as climate change\, supply chain realignment\, and global health risks. There is a growing understanding – especially by business leaders ahead of the curve – that it is not enough for companies to react to these trends. They must take a proactive role in shaping a better world for this and future generations. The businesses that understand this challenge and act will be a step ahead. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a powerful north star for improving our world\, laying out collectively where we need to go and how to get there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Network USA’s first in-person event post-COVID\, we will bring together US companies during the UN General Assembly who actively support the UN Secretary General’s call to align their strategies and operations with universal principles. This year\, Network USA will be hosting SDG Summit USA to showcase actions that American companies are taking to increase ambition\, innovation\, and implement the SDGs into their core operations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by GlobalCompactUS\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:Alliance Action Forum #UNGA 77
DESCRIPTION:Measuring and evaluating business impact is a critical part of the successful delivery of Agenda 2030. There are calls from governments and civil society – and increasingly from companies themselves – for better monitoring to ensure progress and alignment. However\, the world currently lacks a mechanism to hold its most influential companies accountable for their impact and to see whether the actions lead to genuine transformational change on this shared agenda. Holistic transparency and accountability of private sector engagement and impact can support the aspiration the international community seeks for more equity\, fairness and effectiveness in multilateral decision-making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this context\, together\, as a global and multi-stakeholder Alliance\, how can we aspire to set action for corporate accountability firmly on the UN agenda\, especially looking ahead to creating a roadmap to the Future Summit in 2023? How can we embed business accountability into the UN’s core working principles\, turn narrative into commitments\, and strengthen means of implementation for the SDGs? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeld in an interactive workshop format\, the dialogue will have 30 multi-stakeholder participants (civil society\, NGOs\, business associations\, academic institutions\, investors\, multilateral agencies\, consultancies) from WBA’s global Alliance. It will be framed by interventions from representatives from each stakeholder group\, all in line with the ambitions of the 77th Session of the General Assembly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by RESCUEorg\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.
