SUMMARY:Measuring Development 2023: Mitigating the Risks and Impacts of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Human activity has caused precipitous increases in greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions\, resulting in a one degree warming of average global surface temperatures over the past century.  As the planet responds to rising emissions\, extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent\, distressing both natural and human systems. Researchers and practitioners need innovative analytical tools and data sources to understand how to mitigate the risks and impact of climate change on welfare.  COP27 ended with a compromise to create a fund sourced from developed countries to remedy climate change damages in low income and fragile contexts. This adds to the panoply of climate funds and financial tools geared toward broader action on climate change and the commitment of all development institutions to align their financing with the Paris Agreement. To make sure these investments maximize well-being and protect those who are most at risk\, we need to assess not only what the damages would be and who would be most vulnerable\, but also what mitigation and resilience strategies are most effective. \nTo this end\, the World Bank’s  Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) department and Data Analytics and Tools (DECAT) unit\, the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA)\, and the University of Chicago’s Development Innovation Lab (DIL) will host the ninth annual Measuring Development Conference (MeasureDev). The Mitigating the Risks and Impacts of Climate Change conference will convene researchers at the frontiers of physical and social sciences and decision-makers who influence humanity’s responses to the challenges of climate change.  It will showcase innovative data sources and analytical techniques to better monitor emissions and appraise efforts to mitigate their consequences.  MeasureDev will feature a series of presentations\, panel discussions\, and lightning talks on novel applications of mobile data\, satellite imagery\, remote sensing technologies\, and the computational approaches to make sense of the data to provide more granular\, frequent\, and accurate insights regarding our changing climate and actions to respond.  Participants will learn about the frontiers of measurement using these approaches and gain perspectives from leading academic and industry pioneers. Researchers\, graduate students\, practitioners\, policymakers\, and industry partners are all welcome to submit to register to attend the conference using this form. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Strategies Towards Reaching Zero Plastic Pollution
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean every year\, making up over 85% of total marine waste.\n\n\n\n\n\nPlastic pollution is an accelerating global problem. An estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean every year\, making up over 85% of total marine waste. This devastates ecosystems and impacts livelihoods. The global community needs to tackle this issue\, and is taking steps to do so through the development of an international treaty on plastic pollution. \nDespite these serious issues\, the material qualities of plastic make it incredibly useful. In many use cases within hygiene and healthcare for example\, we currently have no suitable alternative. Further\, the material has a role to play in global progress toward net zero. It keeps food fresh\, it makes cars lighter and has uses in insulation and solar equipment. However\, current levels of plastic waste are untenable. \nPlastic manufacturers\, retailers\, governments\, environmental groups and scientists alike have set out a vision to eliminate plastic waste. This will entail an overhaul of legal\, social and regulatory frameworks as well as significant scaling of new technologies and materials. The next stage of the negotiations for the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution will take place in Paris in late May (INC-2). \nThis Financial Times online briefing\, organised in partnership with the Global Partners for Plastics Circularity\, a collaboration of the International Council of Chemical Associations\, will explore how plastic pollution has become so prevalent\, what is needed to overcome this issue and the role that an international agreement could play. \n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:79th session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP)
DESCRIPTION:The seventy-ninth session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will be held from 15 to 19 May 2023 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. \nGuided by the theme “Accelerating climate action in Asia and the Pacific for sustainable development”\, the annual session will be an opportunity to strengthen regional cooperation on climate change. \nThe session will bring together Government leaders from across Asia and the Pacific and other key stakeholders to discuss policy options and areas of regional cooperation required to accelerate climate action in the region and beyond. With dedicated discussions on catalysing climate finance and investments\, complemented by a climate solutions fair\, the session will allow identifying opportunities\, sharing solutions and facilitate engagement of a broad set of partners and stakeholders\, to both reduce the risks and impacts of climate change and foster ambitious climate action in Asia and the Pacific towards net-zero pathways and limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. \nThe theme study sets out the transformations that are needed for Asia and the Pacific to transition to a net-zero-carbon future in support of sustainable development. It provides an outline of the regional context of climate change and identifies policies and actions that could be taken in various sectors of the economy to support the global climate agenda\, while also making broad economic\, social and environmental gains. To close the emissions gap in key sectors\, efforts must be made to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. Low-carbon mobility and logistical solutions are crucial for accelerating innovation\, developing technologies and tapping into greener fuels. The move towards low-carbon transport options requires an integrated approach to land use and urban planning\, as Asia and the Pacific is rapidly motorizing. Furthermore\, Governments need to boost their climate-smart trade and investment sectors so that they can decarbonize industries that are currently notable for exporting carbon-intensive goods. Trade and investment should be utilized as force multipliers to combat climate change but are still missing from the existing regional climate landscape. The theme study also contains information on climate-related financing needs in the region and addresses data gaps for better monitoring. Given the carbon neutrality commitments from the majority of Asia-Pacific countries\, the report recommends strengthening regional policy dialogue and technical cooperation on low carbon\, climate-resilient transition. \nCREDENTIALS AND REGISTRATION \nEach delegation is required to submit a letter of credentials\, duly signed by the appropriate authority of the respective Government or organization\, at the earliest convenience\, preferably by 11 May 2023 to oes.unescap@un.org. \nAll participants who appear in the letter of credentials are requested to register online at https://indico.un.org/event/1003482/ as soon as possible but no later than 11 May 2023. Only the names of duly accredited and registered participants will be included in the list of participants. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:World Bank Central Asia Climate Change Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Central Asia is particularly vulnerable to the negative impacts of a rapidly changing climate—it is an arid\, landlocked\, snow-fed region with most of its water originating in glaciers of upstream mountains and neighboring countries that has a largely agrarian economy\, aging infrastructure\, and high population growth. Although the countries of the region – Kazakhstan\, Kyrgyz Republic\, Tajikistan\, Turkmenistan\, and Uzbekistan – have distinct landscapes\, natural climatic conditions\, development priorities\, and the transboundary nature of climate change exposes each Central Asian nation with novel risks. \nTo address these risks\, governments in the region and their development partners will need tackle strategic challenges\, including transitioning towards carbon neutrality and climate resilience through low-carbon\, climate resilient development; renovating and upgrading the climate resilience of water\, energy\, and food infrastructure; strengthening the capacity of local communities; and implementing progressive regulatory and institutional reforms to attract needed investments. Doing so will require regional cooperation and unprecedented economic and social transformations. \nOn May 16-17th\, the 5th Central Asia Climate Change Conference (CACCC-2023) is bringing together key stakeholders to discuss water\, energy\, food\, and environmental sustainability in the context of a changing climate across Central Asia. Conference participants will discuss progress by Central Asian countries on climate mitigation and adaptation action\, relevant initiatives to achieve cross-sectoral climate resilience\, and platforms available for regional cooperation. \nThe Conference is organized by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) within the “Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program in the Aral Sea Basin AF” (CAMP4ASB AF)\, “Central Asia Nexus Dialogue Project: Fostering Water\, Energy and Food Security Nexus and Multi-Sector Investment”(NEXUS) in cooperation with the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan\, PROGREEN\, and the Central Asia Water & Energy Program (CAWEP)\, which is a partnership between the World Bank\, the European Union\, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. \nWorking languages: Russian\, English. Simultaneous translation will be provided by the organizers. \nFollow the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag: #CAClimate2023 \nGeneral link to watch the following sessions: \nDay 1 \n\nOpening Session;\nOpening Plenary: Climate Change and Development in Central Asia;\nPanel Discussion 1: National policies\, strategies and programs for climate mitigation and adaptation;\nParallel Session A.1: Water Security;\nParallel Session B.1: Circular Economy;\n\nDay 2 \n\nPanel Session 2: Leveraging regional collaboration in a changing global policy environment;\nParallel Session C.1:  Air pollution\, health\, and climate change;\nPanel Session 3: Climate financing: needs and opportunities;\nClosing Plenary.\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:ESCAP-SCO Side Event: Enabling Food Systems Transformation through Climate Smart Agri-Innovation
DESCRIPTION:The agricultural sector in the Asia-Pacific region is suffering from a number of key constraints which are significantly worsening the vulnerability of agriculture to climate impacts in the region. Apart from being highly vulnerable to its impacts\, agriculture is also an important contributor to climate change. \nAgricultural innovation for development of more efficient and sustainable technologies and machinery holds significant promise to boost climate resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Apart from digital and smart technologies\, there is a vital role for innovation of simple and low-cost agricultural technologies and practices for resource-poor farmers and smallholders. These can help put agriculture on a trajectory of resilient and low-carbon development. \nCo-organized by ESCAP and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) during the 79th session of the Commission\, the event will inform and support countries’ implementation of the national food system transformation pathway\, especially in the action areas of advancing equitable livelihoods\, building resilience\, and accelerating the Means of Implementation. It will advance the understanding of policymakers and practitioners working in the areas of agriculture and climate change adaptation and mitigation on the need for promoting agri-innovation. \nThe event will be opened by remarks from senior-level speakers. This will be followed by a panel of experts that will illustrate pertinent approaches and technologies. The closing session will reflect on how such solutions can be upscaled in the region through multilateral cooperation. \nParticipants attending the 79th session of the Commission in Bangkok are welcome to attend in-person while the event will also be open to online participation through the registration link below. The event will be conducted in English and simultaneous interpretation will be provided in Chinese and Russian for the online participants. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Reshaping the Green Iron and Steel Value Chain
DESCRIPTION:Green steel\, made with hydrogen instead of coal\, significantly cuts carbon emissions. It is crucial for sectors like energy\, automotive\, and white goods as they strive to decarbonise their operations and supply chains in response to incentives and tightening ESG regulation. While a promising eco-friendly alternative to traditional steel production\, green steel faces challenges in reaching commercial viability. It is costly to produce\, requires access to a steady supply of renewable energy\, and needs significant investment in new infrastructure. But it also opens-up the opportunity for market disruptors to introduce new technologies and business models to make steel production more sustainable and competitive. \nAs the global demand for responsibly produced steel rises\, this 50-minute digital dialogue will look at how market disruptors\, steel consumers (automotive\, energy\, construction\, white goods)\, along with policymakers and investors\, can work together to overcome the obstacles to transitioning from dirty to clean steel by using an end-to-end value chain approach\, developed by the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center (EGHAC). \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.

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.
