Bloomberg Building a Green Economy For All 2023
2023-07-28 11:30 - 15:00 | Virtual Event
The world is watching. We are at a course-correcting, critical moment in history as we challenge the status quo in our path toward decarbonization. Over the last 12 months, soaring energy prices and the war in Ukraine have dramatically reshaped the global energy landscape and once again, highlighted the need to transition towards clean energy. We need to look at a diverse range of sources to power our future and we cannot wait.
At Building a Green Economy for All, we ask: which sources are accessible and affordable and can achieve scale? What emerging technologies will be the most disruptive? Who is investing in and manufacturing these sources and will we be able to balance the need for cleaner resources with energy security concerns?

8th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum)
2023-08-30 00:00 - 2023-09-01 23:59 | Songdo Convensia Convention Center, Incheon City, Korea, Republic of
Considered Asia-Pacific’s largest and longest-standing gathering of adaptation practitioners to share information, knowledge and best practices in adaptation and resilience-building, the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum) is the biennial flagship event of the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN) Secretariat, hosted within the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.
The APAN Forum serves as a primary regional platform for adaptation practitioners to meet, exchange knowledge and experiences, and collaborate towards the pertinent outcomes and practical solutions that are needed to address the challenges of climate change.
The 8th APAN Forum will take place in-person from 30 August (Wednesday) to 1 September (Friday) during the Korea Global Adaptation Week (KGAW) 2023. It will be hosted by the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea, the Korea Environment Institute – Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change and Incheon Metropolitan City, and co-organised by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the UNEP through the APAN Secretariat.
Objectives
The APAN Forum aims to:

Enhance understanding of climate change adaptation issues, approaches, and policies for effective planning;
Provide a comprehensive report on actions taken and progress made to address knowledge, policy, and funding gaps since the last APAN Forum;
Serve as a platform for accelerating action and implementing adaptation knowledge and programmes, offering actionable guidelines for communities, practitioners, and policymakers;
Formulate recommendations to expand adaptation efforts in the Asia-Pacific region, guiding contributions to COPs and other global/regional initiatives; and,
Promote climate change adaptation and resilience through knowledge sharing, collaboration, and amplification of messages from local to global levels.

Forum Theme
Resilience for All: Enabling transformative implementation
Over the past two decades, Resilience has served as a unifying theme for the APAN Forums. The past years have seen significant efforts towards generating knowledge and information on climate change adaptation at the global and regional levels. However, we are still significantly off-schedule to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and the world is in a state of climate emergency. The current climate change impacts are evident and disruptive in sectors like agriculture, ecosystems, human health, urban settlements and infrastructure.
Therefore, this year’s theme underscores the urgency of adaptation action that is required to build resilience and equip communities with the capacity to withstand and moderate worst-case climate scenarios. It is also in line with the key outcomes of COP 27, further emphasising the importance of transformative approach to accelerating and enhancing adaptation efforts.
Target Participants
Representatives from governments, financing institutions, academia and research, international organisations, UN agencies, civil society organisations, youth organisations and the private sector, among others, will participate in the 8th APAN Forum to work together to build and strengthen partnerships across sectors for adaptation action. The Forum will also provide a space to reflect on the outcomes of COP 27, and to highlight regional lessons learned. These will serve as inputs for the discussions at COP 28, which is to be held at the Expo City, Dubai, United Arab Emirates in November 2023.

Source Accurate Scope 3 Data. Build Detailed Transition Plans. Deploy Climate Solutions

The need to decarbonise our world will transform all aspects of business and society. And, whilst 2,000+ companies now have net zero targets, it’s predicted that 93% of these companies will fail to achieve their net zero goals.
Businesses are grappling with the challenges of evolving short and long-term pressures whilst charting an ambitious path to net zero that stands to scrutiny. High energy costs and increasing financial pressures combined with a lack of clarity around decarbonisation incentives plus challenges to collect, analyse and reduce emissions leaves many companies uncertain on both short-term and long-term strategies and investments. For many companies, the success of their net zero plan and long-term survival rests on the decisions that are made in the next 12-18 months.
Join Reuters Events: Net Zero Europe 2023, along with 200+ senior leaders in business, to discuss and identify the new solutions, collaborations and investments to help accelerate your net zero plans. Through intimate workshops, best practice case studies, panel debates and peer-to-peer roundtable discussions they’ll help you identify ways to effectively track and manage Scope 3 data, develop transition plans that’ll stand up to investor scrutiny and that provide a roadmap to decarbonise your operations and value chain – while still balancing profitability.
This is the defining moment for our quest to deliver a net zero future. Your next move carries immense significance. Equip yourself with the tools you’ll need to shape your net zero strategy at Reuters Events: Net Zero Europe.

Climate Week NYC is the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together some 400 events and activities across the City of New York – in person, hybrid and online. Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening.
Climate Week NYC is hosted by Climate Group, an international non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate action, fast. Climate Group hosts the official program during the week that brings together the most senior international figures from business, government, civil society and the climate sector.
This year Climate Week NYC will be held from September 17-24, 2023. The event takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York.
Main events taking place
This year Climate Week NYC is presenting a full program of some 400 events and activities in New York City. For those unable to attend in-person, we’ll be streaming key sessions throughout the week. Wholly digital events will also be included in Climate Week NYC’s Events program.
The Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony is the most high-profile moment of the week.

Recent speakers include Prince Charles, Tim Cook, Jacinda Adern, the Hon. Chris Bowen, Kristalina Georgieva, Kathy Hochul, and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
This year the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony will tackle three key questions:

Climate action is not moving fast enough across the globe and those in positions of power have a responsibility to act without delay. Where must investment be channelled, and what vested interests need to be held accountable?
We have made huge strides evidenced by the billions committed by the US, China and the EU boost green technology and energy security. We know we have the solutions to the climate crisis. But how do we ensure they are implemented?
Where have we picked up our biggest wins so far and how can we use the collective will of the climate community to remain inspired, stay the course and continue to drive climate action, fast?

On Monday and Tuesday, September 18 and 19, 2023, Climate Group hosts The Hub Live. Bringing together more than 1,000 of the most influential leaders from business, government, and the climate sector, The Hub Live hosts a series of sessions addressing key themes which will be shared at a later date.
The theme is We Can. We Will
The theme reflects determination, focus, but also a hopeful promise, and a call to action to do it together. It touches upon the action we need to take now, but also the need to look ahead and explore new opportunities.
We’ve seen some promising wins when it comes to renewables and financing, but we can’t rest on our laurels. We’re entering a new phase where we need to look at what comes next: tripling clean investments, finding new solutions, taking concrete action, exploring new opportunities and solutions, and breaking down barriers together.
We expect this year’s Climate Week NYC to be even bigger than 2022, which was the most impactful, ambitious, and far-reaching one to date. Business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives are set to use the week as a rallying call for the meaningful contributions still needed to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and to be on a path to net-zero by 2050.

2023-09-18 00:00 - 2023-09-22 23:59 | United Nations General Assembly, NY, United States
Solving the most pressing challenges for people and planet is smart business. At Climate Week 2023, Deloitte is hosting events to help guide organizations through the complexities of the ever-changing sustainability horizon and create measurable progress toward a sustainable future.

Taking place alongside the 78th United Nations General Assembly, Climate Week (September 18-22, 2023) is a time to create lasting change that accelerates decarbonization and creates healthier, more prosperous communities.
Given the enormous transformation that is on the horizon, there is a narrow window for companies to shape their own future for and position themselves for long-term advantage. Throughout Climate Week, Deloitte is hosing events that seek to inspire business, government, and nonprofit leaders to accelerate the transition to a nature-positive future, while promoting prosperity for communities and organizations.
Covering a diverse array of cross-sector themes, Deloitte’s hosted events will convene leading minds to share insights that can help advance the transition to a more equitable, low-carbon economy. In collaboration with Goals House, Deloitte is gathering leading voices from the food industry, financial services, and the public sector for a discussion of how to broaden the adoption of sustainable agricultural standards. And, with Fortune, we are bringing leaders and innovators from some of the organizations at the forefront of sustainability together to discuss how they can move from ambition to action to adapt to a low-carbon future and position themselves for long-term advantage.

Net Zero Value Chains: Enabling collaboration to unlock value chain decarbonisation at scale
2023-09-20 16:00 - 18:45 | Apella by Alexandria, 450 East 29th Street, NY, 10016, United States
Net Zero value chains
Enabling collaboration to unlock value chain decarbonisation at scale
For many companies, Scope 3 emissions account for more than 75% of their carbon footprint – rising to as much as 99% for some sectors. Tackling these emissions is critical if we are to make Net Zero a reality, and while large corporates are setting Scope 3 targets and committing to decarbonizing their value chains, many businesses are still struggling to take action.
Scope 3 emissions are by nature a collective challenge, and a complex one. Getting answers and solutions to achieve Scope 3 emission reductions and credibly report on the impact achieved is an absolute priority, and it has been a key focus of the Value Change Initiative since 2017. Since then, we have focused on making Scope 3 operationable trough the implementation of Market Based Mechanisms.
On September 20, join us for Climate Week’s premier Scope 3 event. Together with leading experts and companies, let’s explore and discuss solutions to accelerate action when traceability is imperfect, enable collaboration and partnerships, and make Net Zero value chains a reality in today’s Scope 3 landscape.

About the Value Change Initiative
Making Net-Zero Value Chains Possible.
To make net-zero value chains possible by 2050, we need organizations committed to delivering positive environmental and social impact up and down their value chains. This requires the courage to challenge the status quo, as well as new ways and means to make change happen.
Driven by SustainCERT and Gold Standard, the Value Change Initiative is a multistakeholder forum bringing together some of the world’s largest companies, leading civil society actors and internationally recognized frameworks to collectively define how to address and account for greenhouse gas emission reductions across global value chains.
Together we move beyond theory; learning, testing, and co-creating consensus-driven guidance to drive down Scope 3 emissions following Best Practice.

IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit
2023-09-28 00:00 - 23:59 | Paris, France
The International Energy Agency will host the first ever international summit on critical minerals and their role in clean energy transitions on 28 September 2023 in Paris.
The IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit will focus on measures to promote the secure, sustainable and responsible supply of raw materials that have a central role in the global clean energy transition. The Summit will convene ministers from countries around the world – including both large mineral producers and consumers – as well as business leaders, investors, heads of international organisations and civil society representatives.
The convening of the IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit comes after the IEA was given a Ministerial mandate by its member governments last year to deepen its work on critical minerals. Building on the analysis of its landmark report The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions, the Agency has launched new work streams to improve the transparency and security of critical minerals supplies and just published its inaugural Critical Minerals Market Review. The IEA was also recently asked by G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers to provide support on critical minerals.
The Summit will aim to build a broader consensus among the participants on effective courses of action to diversify mineral supply chains, enhance market transparency, accelerate technological innovation and recycling, and promote sustainable and responsible development practices.

Demand for minerals that help power electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels and other clean energy technologies is skyrocketing as the global energy transition gathers pace, increasing the need for international cooperation.
According to the IEA’s Critical Minerals Market Review 2023, the overall market for energy transition minerals has doubled in size over the past five years, reaching USD 320 billion in 2022. It is set for continued rapid growth, moving it increasingly to centre stage for the global mining industry and policy makers focused on energy and climate goals.
Growing investment in critical mineral development provides grounds for cautious optimism on future supplies. Yet the risk of project delays and technology-specific shortfalls leaves little room for complacency – and more projects are needed by 2030 in a scenario that limits global warming to 1.5 °C, according to the IEA’s analysis.
Limited progress on diversifying supply sources also remains a major concern, while environmental, social and governance performance offers significant scope for improvement. These trends underscore the importance of high-level dialogue among global stakeholders.
For more information on the outlook for critical minerals, visit the IEA Critical Minerals Data Explorer. This interactive online tool maps out global demand projections for more than three dozen minerals essential to clean energy transitions under various scenarios and technology trends.

COP28 UAE brings the world together at a critical moment for global transformative climate action. To deliver on its ambitious agenda, COP28 will be inclusive, transparent, pragmatic, and results-oriented.

WHAT IS COP?
A critical moment in global transformative climate action
In the three decades since the Rio Summit and the launch of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP) has convened member countries every year to determine ambition and responsibilities, and identify and assess climate measures. The 21st session of the COP (COP21) led to the Paris Agreement, which mobilized global collective action to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels by 2100, and to act to adapt to the already existing effects of climate change.

People, societies and companies face the reality of a world in transformation. In addition to the seemingly endless supply of shocks, with the tragic violence in the Middle East being the most recent, deep structural shifts are clearly afoot from geoeconomics to climate change to artificial intelligence. Given this level of uncertainty and the high stakes involved, there is a clear need to move past the diagnosis of challenges firmly towards solutions.

With trust eroding, long-term visions may be too abstract to rally around, while merely focusing on responses to current shocks will leave everyone vulnerable to the transformations at hand. What is needed are new and upgraded platforms for dialogue, stronger partnerships, agile policy frameworks and effective deployment of technologies that can lead to practical and implementable gains for societies across both short-term and strategic horizons.

International Day of Clean Energy
2024-01-26 00:00 - 23:59
Clean energy: for all…
Energy lies at the core of a double challenge: leaving no one behind and protecting the Planet. And clean energy is crucial to its solution.
In a world grappling with climate change, clean energy plays a vital role in reducing emissions, and can also benefit communities lacking access to reliable power sources. Still today, 675 million people live in the dark – 4 in 5 are in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The connection between clean energy, socio-economic development, and environmental sustainability is crucial in addressing issues faced by vulnerable communities worldwide.
For populations without clean energy access, the lack of reliable power hinders education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, and many of these developing regions still rely heavily on polluting fossil fuels for their daily life, perpetuating poverty. If current trends continue, by 2030 one in four people will still use unsafe, unhealthy and inefficient cooking systems, such as burning wood or dung.
Although this situation has been improving, the world is not on track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), which aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. The General Assembly will hold a Global Stocktaking on SDG7 in April 2024 to assess progress and recommend solutions.

… and for our planet
But adopting clean energy is integral to the fight against climate change, as well.
A large chunk of the greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the Sun’s heat are generated through energy production, by burning fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas) to generate electricity and heat.
The science is clear: to limit climate change, we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy that are clean, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and reliable. Renewable energy sources – which are available in abundance all around us, provided by the sun, wind, water, waste, and heat from the Earth – are replenished by nature and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air.
The International Day of Clean Energy on January 26 is a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet.

The New Era of Transparency: A Briefing on the SEC’s Climate Disclosure Rule
2024-04-08 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar
After decades of investor demand, the United States is now more closely aligned with its global peers through the adoption of a mandatory climate disclosure framework for public companies. On March 6, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted the rule, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors”. The rule responds to investors’ need for clear, consistent, and comparable climate reporting from public companies. Standardized disclosures in financial filings will bring significant improvements to the current patchwork of voluntary disclosures and help investors make more informed capital allocation and investment stewardship decisions.
So what should companies and investors know about these new requirements?
For twenty years Ceres has championed climate disclosure regulations. Join us for this webinar with Ceres CEO and President Mindy Lubber, SEC Division of Corporation Finance Director Erik Gerding, SEC Chief Accountant Paul Munter, and others.
In this session, participants will:
– Acquire detailed insights on the new rule’s requirements directly from SEC staff
– Compare elements of the rule that have changed from the proposal to final
– Explore perspectives on implementation and how investors will use the data
– Get answers to critical questions about the context of the rule within the evolving disclosure landscape
