SUMMARY:Climate Bonds Connect 2022 - Global Conference London
DESCRIPTION:Global Conference – 20 October 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the 7th year running\, our Climate Bonds annual conference\, now part of the Climate Bonds CONNECT event series\, continues to frame the global discourse and agenda on climate finance.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs climate impacts batter communities on all continents\, scientists agree we are facing a climate emergency and the window of opportunity to align our economies to a safer 1.5-degree pathway is closing fast. With so much volatility – where concerns about our planet’s future and its climate intersect with petrostate wars; food shortages; health pandemics; species extinction; cost of living increases and more\, we have to find solutions fast. It will not be easy\, but there is hope.  The majority of the world’s institutional investors are aware of the risk such volatility poses to their portfolios if action is not taken. They have a mandate to ensure risk is mitigated over the long term – and they want to act.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnder the theme ‘Mobilising $5trillion of Climate Bonds per year by 2025\, this year’s Climate Bonds Global Conference will include discussion sessions with opportunity and solutions-driven conversations teasing out the most relevant topics that bridge science\, policy and finance. Top speakers\, thought leaders\, decision-makers and influencers will discuss the challenges and current trends that shape the future of green finance in emerging and developed markets\, including topics on taxonomies\, policy guidance and transition pathways. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimate Bonds Connect 2022: Combining the power of in-person and with the reach of online participation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Global Conference benefits from a hybrid (online and in-person invitation only) format\, allowing for a wider global audience to be connected to the discussions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will gather investors; asset owners; governments; banks; issuers; regulators among others and provide ample opportunity for networking and building connections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ClimateBonds\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:ESG & Climate Risk Summit USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere ESG risk leaders connect\, exchange ideas and make vital steps towards the new future of finance.​\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ESG & Climate Risk Summit USA is taking place in New York this October gathering senior ESG risk management and investment decision makers from asset managers\, hedge funds\, life insurance firms\, pension funds and investment banks in the USA. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith an agenda steered by the Risk.net editorial team and our global advisory board and covering the most pressing issues facing ESG risk professionals\, you will leave with new ideas\, new connections and a new perspective on ESG and climate risk. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey 2022 themes:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNET ZERO \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAs the ESG trend continues to grow\, more clients want assurance that their portfolios are not contributing to climate change.  As a result\, banks\, asset managers\, and funds will want to consider:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarbon pollution by company Carbon pollution by sector Carbon offsets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCARBON DISCLOSURE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWith the growing demand for ESG data in order to become more net-zero\, organizations are needed to participate in the climate movement.  It is important for companies to give information on their carbon pollution in three tiers:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScope 1 – direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Scope 2 – indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Scope 3 – indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the value chain of a company \n\n\n\n                            Scope 3 disclosure is the hardest to monitor and we will discuss how to improve all forms of disclosure.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nESG DATA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n In addition to carbon disclosure data\, there are other aspects of ESG that can inform investors on a company’s impact on the climate and their financial outlook.  This includes data such as:  \n\n\n\nBoard/leadership diversity Human rights Water stress levels \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCLIMATE RISK MODELING \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhether we like it or not\, climate change is already here.  What is important at this point is minimizing its impact and determining risk through scenario analysis.  Climate risk modeling will help determine impacts on company balance sheets from paying damages\, losses\, or reductions in future potential profits.  These are all impacted by growing:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExtreme weather events Shortages impacting supply chain Sea level rise/flooding \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIMPACT INVESTING \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAsset owners and investors are choosing to use their capital for the greater good.  Companies and individual investors can be influential by:  \n\n\n\nDivesting from heavy polluters Investing in heavy polluters to influence company decisions from within Investing in climate solutions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPOLICY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nUSA is much more ahead of other global regions when it comes to imposing climate friendly regulations.  We will seek to explore what other regulations are expected in the future and how to stay compliant.  \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:Total Health 2022
DESCRIPTION:Our healthcare system is unsustainable.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBurnout has reached pandemic levels\, demand on services mounts dramatically\, the cost of care continues to rise and populations suffer worse than ever from unequal access. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe time for change is now\, but uncertainty is rife. While the pandemic showed us the power of what’s possible when the health system unites\, healthcare leaders must work out how to embrace data-sharing regulations that provide more choice and power to the patient while transitioning business models toward a system of value-based care. It is paramount to facilitate employer collaborations in line with new standards in working-life\, and work hand-in hand with a host of new direct to consumer disruptors that enter the market\, vying with incumbent providers or health plans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Total Health 2022 CEOs\, innovators\, disruptors and policy makers will join forces to behind a vital mission: building a resilient health system through innovation to ensure gold standard of health for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by Reuters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
