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. \nLiam Marais

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). \nLiam Marais

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. \nLiam Marais

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\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:FT Hydrogen Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:As energy policy remains at the top of the political agenda\, hydrogen is touted as a critical tool in the net-zero transition. However\, while policy ambitions are increasing globally\, the practical pathway to scaling up clean hydrogen remains unclear. Existing hydrogen production still needs to be decarbonised\, while pertinent questions also remain about the lack of progress on large-scale projects and the availability of cheap renewable power to produce green hydrogen. Against this backdrop\, disagreement continues over which sectors the fuel is best positioned to decarbonise. Can the industry navigate these challenges to make clean hydrogen a permanent feature of the global energy mix? \nNow in its third year\, the FT’s Hydrogen Summit has established itself as the pre-eminent gathering of leading hydrogen executives\, policymakers and financiers. Throughout a comprehensive day of content and networking\, the Summit will once again provide a unique forum for a nuanced discussion of the opportunities and obstacles in harnessing the full power of hydrogen. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:MSCI Climate Breakfast - Implementing your Net Zero Strategy
DESCRIPTION:The latest IPCC publication\, the AR6 synthesis report\, published in March 2023 is another reminder that global warming is advancing and 1.5degree Celsius warming is ‘likely’ in the near term. It raises the urgency of understanding\, measuring\, and mitigating not only financial risks arising from climate change\, but also the impact of investments on climate change.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding by joining our in-person event! Our researchers will not only discuss how investors can identify and use suitable climate metrics to achieve their climate-investing objectives but also how MSCI’s expanded range of index solutions are designed to address the transition towards a more sustainable\, low-carbon future.\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Future farming: can regenerative agriculture cut climate pollution and feed the world?
DESCRIPTION:Our food system is on the frontline in the fight to curb climate change and conserve nature. Food generates one-third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the United Nations identifies farming as the primary driver of biodiversity loss globally. But a suite of agricultural solutions already exists that can accelerate action towards GHG neutrality while protecting and restoring our natural ecosystems. \nRegenerative agriculture is one approach that farmers are using in the effort to stem GHG emissions while addressing local environmental impacts. It includes management practices that replenish natural ecosystems rather than deplete them\, and is informed by indigenous and traditional farming techniques. But what is the science behind regenerative agriculture and its role in reducing and sequestering GHGs? \nThis insight hour will explore the intersection of science and regenerative agriculture\, with a particular focus on the dairy industry. \nHow can holistic management of soil health\, nutrient cycling\, water use and other factors help the dairy industry reduce GHG emissions\, particularly of methane—which has roughly 80 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide? What are the limitations of regenerative farming? How can dairy farmers adopt science-based practices to cut emissions in a way that stimulates productivity and profitability? How are GHG-neutrality commitments from food companies changing behaviour among their suppliers? And finally\, what other tools and technologies can dairy farmers use to reduce emissions? \nLiam Marais
