SUMMARY:Progress and Challenges to Achieving a Common Taxonomy for Climate Investments
DESCRIPTION:Policymakers from China and the EU discuss current climate investment taxonomies and what is needed to achieve a common worldwide taxonomy. \nAs countries and governments have pursued policies and regulations to fulfill their commitments to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century\, they have formulated classification systems or “taxonomies” to define\, guide and measure environmentally sustainable economic activities. Taxonomies have been developed in the EU\, China and around the world to translate green objectives into criteria for investment\, establish how assets and projects are aligned with green objectives and define green activities that can be financed by the financial system. \nIn this free webinar\, two distinguished policymakers will discuss the most well-developed taxonomies currently in place (EU and China); explore the similarities\, differences\, and implementation progress to date; and debate what is still needed to achieve a common taxonomy and harmonization worldwide. What has been the experience to date and where are the gaps\, as countries move from principles to more detailed technical criteria on the path to a green transition? \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism. Matt was recognized by the United Nations as #3 of the “Top 10 Most Influential Media Executives for Impact” in 2015 during the launch of the UN SDGs.\nHe has advised the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative (SSEI)\, UNCTAD\, and the UN\, and hosts event coverage at the World Economic Forum\, ADFW\, Climate Week NYC\, EU Parliament\, COP\, the Vatican\, NASDAQ\, NYSE\, and more. Matt is a founding board member of the Humanity 2.0 Foundation\, a Vatican-based NGO focused on identifying and removing impediments to human flourishing.\nHe previously rang the NASDAQ Closing Bell in honor of his partnership with NASDAQ OMX to launch the world’s first retail investor targeting and newswire monitoring platform with the NASDAQ Financial Services Group. Matt launched ESG News in 2021\, leading coverage of more than 10\,000 news stories as of 2026—and truly loves what he does. \nesgnews.com

DESCRIPTION:The 6th Nordic Conference on Climate Change Adaptation\, NOCCA23’ will be held in Iceland\, Reykjavík Grand Hotel on the 17th-19th of April 2023\, the same year that Iceland will hold the Precedency at the Nordic Council of Ministers. \nThe focus of NOCCA 2023 is on adaptation in cities and municipalities in the Nordic countries. What actions have been implemented and how\, what has worked and what are the key learnings in the adaptation process. The event is a valuable venue for Nordic countries to exchange key learnings and to open the dialog on adaptation. \nThe conference welcomes all who work on climate change adaptation\, within the fields of science\, in local communities\, governments and municipal administration\, in ministries and national authorities\, politics\, businesses\, industry and NGOs. \n  \nConference output and key messages  \nNOCCA collects knowledge from municipal experts and civil servants to enhance the value of current work carried out in the Nordic region and contributes to the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation into decision-making and planning on the municipal level. It will provide a certain overview of the knowledge of existing methodological approaches to climate change adaptation on the municipal level in the Nordic region. \nThe output from the workshops will be synthesized in a policy paper as a leading document for further Nordic cooperation on adaptation\, especially for upcoming ECCA23 and/or COP28. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:US Climate Action Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is the US Climate Action Summit?\n\n\n\nBack for its third year\, the US Climate Action Summit unites key leaders in business\, politics and advocacy to drive US climate momentum during Earth Week. \nWe’re hosting an intimate yet innovative program that favours participation\, progress and accountability. \nOur goal for the US Climate Action Summit is to create a participant-led platform that drives measurable outcomes on climate policy and business action\, with attendees at the heart of the agenda. \n\n\nHow is this event different?\n\n\n\nWe know events alone will not change the world. But the people and conversations at them can. We need a little less conversation and a lot more action at events like this. \nWe’ve seen a huge demand from our business\, policy and NGO networks for an open and honest platform that pushes progress and implementation. \nSo we’ve designed an agenda that puts participation at the center of the program by creating an open space for off the record conversations\, carefully curated small-group conversations\, and a series of closed-door implementation sessions that deliver real outcomes. \n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism. Matt was recognized by the United Nations as #3 of the “Top 10 Most Influential Media Executives for Impact” in 2015 during the launch of the UN SDGs.\nHe has advised the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative (SSEI)\, UNCTAD\, and the UN\, and hosts event coverage at the World Economic Forum\, ADFW\, Climate Week NYC\, EU Parliament\, COP\, the Vatican\, NASDAQ\, NYSE\, and more.

SUMMARY:How Can The Built Environment Drive Social and Environmental Value?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with JLL\, will delve into the rising importance of social value in the development of a net-zero\, healthy\, and equitable built environment. It will look at the key challenges and tensions between short and long term priorities and how the ecosystem of stakeholders can align and engage in the creation of spaces that are safe\, inclusive\, resilient and sustainable. Our experts will share practical experiences and discuss ways to achieve decarbonisation goals alongside social and financial targets\, explore opportunities for shared value and stakeholder collaboration\, and examine how to improve the human value proposition throughout the entire real estate cycle. \nSocial value is a core part of ESG\, yet there is a gap between ambition and action. Companies typically take a fragmented approach and focus more on the ‘E’ – rather than addressing environmental and social goals in tandem. Those who take a holistic approach across the real estate cycle\, can transform the built environment into a driver of positive change\, for both people and planet\, while accelerating progress and unlocking competitive advantage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
