SUMMARY:World Ocean Summit Asia-Pacific 2022
DESCRIPTION:Giving “blue solutions” the green light\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Asia-Pacific is the region that is perhaps most vulnerable to climate change and ocean degradation\, being heavily dependent on the seas for food provision and economic development. Challenges with pollution\, climate change impacts\, biodiversity loss and patchy governance\, among others\, make the transition to a sustainable ocean economy in the Asia-Pacific complex and occasionally even daunting. At the same time\, the global conversation on the ocean typically happens elsewhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntering its second year\, the summit will cover the length and breadth of the sustainable ocean economy with sessions on governance\, climate change\, finance\, supply chains\, innovation and technology\, shipping\, tourism\, fishing and aquaculture. A key theme for the summit will be marine pollution and addressing the problems of plastics and chemicals in the ocean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis two-day programme will take place at the Resorts World Convention Centre in Singapore in-person. Up to 12 sessions over the course of the summit will be live-streamed to a wider audience virtually. View the agenda to see the virtual sessions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by Economist_WOI\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 Global Green Finance Leadership Program 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Global Green Finance Leadership Program (GFLP) provides a platform for an in-depth regional dialogue on best practices\, inspiring innovations\, and the challenges of scaling-up sustainable finance. It builds on the global momentum created by United Nations Climate Change Conferences\, COP27\, and the G20 Leaders’ Summit\, both taking place earlier in November 2022. The Program was launched by the Beijing’s Institute of Finance and Sustainability (BIFS) in collaboration with a few other China-based and international institutions in May 2018. Speakers are from diverse backgrounds and roles in the global financial sector community\, representing countries in the region and more advanced economies. Participants in the previous editions of the GFLP were representatives from the international financial community\, governments and regulatory authorities\, academia\, the private sector\, and the development community more broadly.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe World Bank Group Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Finance Hub in Malaysia will partner with BIFS to host the upcoming GFLP 2022 in Malaysia. Going with the theme\, “Scaling-up Sustainable Finance in South-East Asia\,” the main feature of this year’s GFLP is the launch of a Flagship Report on Sustainable Finance in Southeast Asia. The Program will build on the Flagship Report’s main findings and provide a platform for a discussion of a wide range of topics\, from the challenges of developing the enabling policy environment for developing financial markets for sustainability in developing countries to innovative sustainable financial instruments and the role of the financial sector in helping firms and households build stronger resilience to climate-related and other environmental physical and transition risks.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by WorldBank\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 6th Sustainability Summit for south-east Europe and the Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Redefining sustainability in an unsustainable world\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion in Ukraine\, the need to redefine the concept of sustainability on a global basis has arisen. New big challenges emerge\, such as disruption in the energy sector\, the threat of a food crisis\, new refugee flows\, restructuring of public health systems\, changes in the workplace and labour relations. The already existing crucial issues of sustainability\, such as climate crisis and biodiversity loss\, poverty and inequalities\, transformation of cities\, are thus being addressed within a new context. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgainst this background\, the discussion on sustainability becomes of great importance. Many new –and old– questions require answers and\, most important\, demand effective and inclusive action: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow will the SDGs work after pandemic and the war in Ukraine?\n\n\n\nIs there a link between biodiversity loss and the pandemics?\n\n\n\nEU’s and European governments’ reaction to the refugee crisis\n\n\n\nWhat changes are needed in terms of production\, trade and food consumption?\n\n\n\nIs there risk of a decarbonisation reversal?\n\n\n\nIs nuclear energy a solution to the explosion of energy prices?\n\n\n\nAre inequalities being sharpened in the post-pandemic working environment?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgainst this background\, the discussion on sustainability becomes of great importance. Many new –and old– questions require answers and\, most important\, demand effective and inclusive action: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWithin this context\, The Economist Impact Events in partnership with SDSN Europe\, SDSN Greece and EIT Climate- KIC Hub Greece have great pleasure in announcing the organisation of the Sixth Economist Sustainability Summit for South-East Europe and the Mediterranean scheduled to take place on November 30th & December 1st\, 2022 at the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso in Kavouri. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by Economist_SEUR\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.
