SUMMARY:Multinational Enterprises and Climate Change: Fundamental Risks and Big Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This event aims to present the findings of a new report: “The effect of multinational enterprises on climate change: supply chain emissions\, green technology transfers\, and corporate commitments.” This report brings together the latest available data\, analysis and literature to answer four key questions related to the relationship between MNEs and climate change: \n(1)    What effect do MNEs currently have on climate change\, through their own activities and through their broader supply chains? \n(2)    How do MNEs shape the potential transfer of “green” technology transfers to domestic firms? \n(3)    How committed are leading MNEs currently to transition their supply chains to net-zero emissions by 2050? \n(4)    What types of policies can influence multinational enterprises’ effect on climate change? \nThe event will further discuss what more countries can and should do to shape the behaviors of MNEs as part of their climate change mitigation plans. For this\, there will be an active discussion that will include a representative of a multinational enterprise with an active commitment towards sustainable development\, and Amir Sokolowski\, the Global Director Climate Change\, at CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project)\, which is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors\, companies\, cities\, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Navigating Climate Credit Risk: Insights from NGFS III for Corporates
DESCRIPTION:Network for Greening of the Financial System (NGFS) climate scenarios have become a financial industry standard. We employ their latest iteration to illustrate the impact on the corporate PD projections from the Moody’s Climate Adjusted Expected Default Frequency model. The model links global and sectoral dynamics with physical risk assessment and emissions at the company level. \nModelling challenges include combining physical risk across climate hazards as well as deriving firm-level metrics from the transition risk implied sectoral pathways.\nRegulators across the globe require usage of different Integrated Assessment Models to characterize transition risk. Our modular approach enables us to quantify the impact of these modelling choices. \n\nClimate Adjusted Corporate PD Modelin a nutshell\nNGFS Scenarios’ Evolution: Net Zero and Nationally Determined Contributions imply lower emissions\n Conceptual challenges for physical risk scoring\n From sectors to the firm level: Moody’s Transition Risk Oligopoly Model\n Does the used IAM matter? GCAM vs REMIND\n What’s next in the climate credit risk modelling\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
