SUMMARY:IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernment \n\nFernanda Avila\, Secretary of Mining\, Argentina\nMadeleine King\, Minister for Resources and Minister for Northern Australia\, Australia\nVolker Holubetz\, Minister Plenipotentiary\, Austria\nTinne van der Straeten\, Minister of Energy\, Belgium\nJonathan Wilkinson\, Minister of Natural Resources\, Canada\nMark Brown\, Prime Minister\, Cook Islands\nJozef Síkela\, Minister of Industry and Trade\, Czech Republic\nMartin Bille Hermann\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Denmark\nTarek El-Molla\, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources\nEne Jürjens\, Director of Mineral Resources Department\, Estonia\nThierry Breton\, European Commissioner for Internal Market\, European Union\nWille Rydman\, Minister of Economic Affairs\, Finland\nAgnès Panier-Runacher\, Minister for Energy Transition\, France\nMichaela Spaeth\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Germany\nAlexandra Sdoukou\, Deputy Minister of Environment & Energy\, Greece\nAttila Steiner\, State Secretary for Energy and Climate Policy\, Hungary\nArifin Tasrif\, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources\, Indonesia\nEamon Ryan\, Minister for the Environment\, Climate\, and Communications\, Ireland\nHaim Assaraf\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Israel\nGilberto Pichetto Fratin\, Minister of the Environment and Energy Security\, Italy\nYasutoshi Nishimura\, Minister of Economy\, Trade and Industry\, Japan\nMasahiro Komura\, Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs\, Japan\nSalim Mvurya\, EGH – Cabinet Minister for the Ministry of Mining\, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs\, Kenya\nMoon Kyu Bang\, Minister of Trade\, Industry and Energy of Korea\, Korea\nDainius Kreivys\, Minister for Energy\, Lithuania\nHerindrainy Olivier Rakotomalala\, Minister of Mines and Strategic Resources\, Madagascar\nVladimiro Manhiça\, Director for Geological Surveys at the National Institute of Mines\, Mozambique\nLiesje Schreinemacher\, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation\, The Netherlands\nAnne Marit Bjørnflaten\, State Secretary of Trade\, Industry and Fisheries\, Norway\nAnna Moskwa\, Minister of Climate and Environment\, Poland\nAna Fontoura Gouveia\, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate\, Portugal\nPeter Dovhun\, Minister of Economy\, Slovak Republic\nSara Aagesen\, Secretary of State for Energy\, Spain\nDaniel Liljeberg\, Secretary of State\, Sweden\nGiancarlo Kessler\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Switzerland\nAlparslan Bayraktar\, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources\, Türkiye\nRoman Opimakh\, Director General\, Ukrainian Geological Survey\, Ukraine\nNusrat Ghani\, Minister of State in the Department for Business and Trade\, United Kingdom\nJennifer M.

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. \nGrowing 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. \nLimited 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. \nFor 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. \n\n\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Net Zero Value Chains: Enabling collaboration to unlock value chain decarbonisation at scale
DESCRIPTION:Net Zero value chains\nEnabling collaboration to unlock value chain decarbonisation at scale\nFor 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. \nScope 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. \nOn 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. \nREGISTER HERE \n\nParticipation:\nPlease note that this event is for free: \n\nFor VCI members\, a maximum of 2 participants per company can join\n\n\nFor Non members\, a maximum of 1 participant per company can join\n\nLive streaming\nPlease kindly note that only the plenary session and the “Claims and value chain interventions” session will be live streamed. More information will be shared in due course. \n\nPhotograph Policy:\nValue Change Initiative (VCI) will be taking photos at this event. These images will be used by Value Change Initiative and SustainCERT to share news about the event\, and to publicize our activities and future events. Images may be used in press releases\, printed publicity and published on the Value Change Initiative website and social media pages. They will be stored securely\, and we will delete them after they are no longer needed for publicity purposes. If you would prefer not to be photographed\, please identify yourself to a Value Change Initiative or event staff member during the event. \n\nAbout the Value Change Initiative\nMaking Net-Zero Value Chains Possible.\nTo 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. \nDriven 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. \nTogether we move beyond theory; learning\, testing\, and co-creating consensus-driven guidance to drive down Scope 3 emissions following Best Practice. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Climate Week NYC
DESCRIPTION: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. \nClimate 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. \nThis 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. \nMain events taking place\nThis 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. \nThe Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony is the most high-profile moment of the week. Taking place on Sunday\, September 17\, the event will feature major announcements\, discussions\, and interviews with international leadership from business\, government\, and the climate community. Recent speakers include Prince Charles\, Tim Cook\, Jacinda Adern\, the Hon. Chris Bowen\, Kristalina Georgieva\, Kathy Hochul\, and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. \nThis year the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony will tackle three key questions: \n\nClimate 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?\nWe 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?\nWhere 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?\n\nOn 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. \nThe theme is We Can. We Will\nThe 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. \nWe’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. \nWe 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. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:High-Quality\, Transparency & Control: Investing in Carbon Credits Before they've Entered the Market
DESCRIPTION:There is currently a limited supply of high-quality credits in the spot market. \nEarth observation data is enabling a new generation of high-quality\, nature-based projects that give buyers the opportunity to confidently invest in developing projects\, before credits have even hit the market. \nInvesting in these projects gives buyers more control of securing credits that will deliver real climate impact. \n\n\n\n\nThe spot market vs pre-issuance credits – the differences and opportunities\n\n\n\nWhy investing in early-stage projects means greater confidence for buyers\n\n\n\nFinancing projects upfront – the economic and environmental upside\n\n\n\nReducing reputational risk with better quality credits\n\n\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Net Zero Europe 2023
DESCRIPTION:Source Accurate Scope 3 Data. Build Detailed Transition Plans. Deploy Climate Solutions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 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. \nBusinesses 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. \nJoin 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. \nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:8th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nObjectives \nThe APAN Forum aims to: \n\nEnhance understanding of climate change adaptation issues\, approaches\, and policies for effective planning;\nProvide a comprehensive report on actions taken and progress made to address knowledge\, policy\, and funding gaps since the last APAN Forum;\nServe as a platform for accelerating action and implementing adaptation knowledge and programmes\, offering actionable guidelines for communities\, practitioners\, and policymakers;\nFormulate recommendations to expand adaptation efforts in the Asia-Pacific region\, guiding contributions to COPs and other global/regional initiatives; and\,\nPromote climate change adaptation and resilience through knowledge sharing\, collaboration\, and amplification of messages from local to global levels.\n\nForum Theme \nResilience for All: Enabling transformative implementation \nOver 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. \nTherefore\, 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. \nTarget Participants \nRepresentatives 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. \n  \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Financing Industry Decarbonization For Just Transition
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) is delighted to co-host with LeadIT and the Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI) this official side event of the 14th Clean Industry Ministerial and the 8th Mission Innovation (MI-8)\, in Goa\, India. Narrowing the financing gap for deep decarbonization efforts in hard-to-abate sectors (For example\, iron and steel\, cement and aluminum\, pulp and paper\, chemicals\, shipping) is essential to helping developing countries make a just transition to zero-carbon growth paths. Equally\, it is critical to channel concessional resources where they can be most effective and provide a transformational effect that can lead to replication and scaled up investments across the developing world. \nThis event will explore enhanced coordination and targeted finance amongst partners and initiatives to maximize development impact. In addition\, it will convene government\, industry\, and multilateral development banks to discuss where concessional resources can be channeled in support of industry decarbonization globally. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:World Bank Tokyo Online Morning Seminar #172 “The Effect of Multinational Enterprises on Climate Change: Supply Chain Emissions\, Green Technology Transfers\, and Corporate Commitments”
DESCRIPTION:Multinational enterprises (MNEs) provide both a fundamental risk to and an opportunity for climate change mitigation. The climate ambitions of MNEs will affect the environmental performance of countries around the world. As a leading actor\, proactive MNEs can impose sustainability standards or encourage green technology transfers that\, in some cases\, could affect millions of producers and accelerate the climate transition. However\, obstructive MNEs may equally hold back any progress to reduce a country’s emissions via inaction or by actively resisting\, obstructing\, or lobbying against change. It is critical for policymakers around the world to consider the role that MNEs play in climate change mitigation strategies\, monitor their current commitment to transition their supply chains to net-zero emissions by 2050\, and adopt the necessary measures to accelerate this transition. To guide this endeavor\, the World Bank\, in partnership with CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) have developed a new report “The Effect of Multinational Enterprises on Climate Change: Supply Chain Emissions\, Green Technology Transfers\, and Corporate Commitments” that provides insights into MNEs’ impact on climate change. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Fourth Global Conference on Strengthening Synergies between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement are intrinsically linked\, and one cannot be achieved without the other. In the same spirit\, the Secretary-General in a recent address on his 2023 priorities stressed that “Climate action is the 21st century’s greatest opportunity to drive forward all the Sustainable Development Goals.” As such\, maximizing on the interlinkages between the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement by leveraging climate action and SDG synergies has the potential of achieving both agendas faster\, while ensuring a just and equitable future. \nIntegrated planning\, coherent policies\, and economic stimulus investments designed to meet both the SDGs and climate challenges can generate significant co-benefits and speed up progress. Research has shown that aligning actions on climate and SDGs globally can yield up to US$26 trillion before 2030 in economic gains\, produce over 65 million new green jobs\, and save approximately 7 million premature deaths per year. With concerted and coordinated global public and private collaborative efforts\, achievement of all SDGs can be advanced\, trade-offs avoided\, and social disparities reduced. \n\n\nFOURTH GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE AND SDG SYNERGIES\n\nThe Fourth Global Climate and SDG Synergy Conference is convened by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Conference is conducted in association with the 2023 HLPF. It thus also provides delegations the opportunity to reflect their on-going review of progress on achieving the SDGs\, notably SDGs 6\, 7\, 9\, 11\, and 17\, in a wider context of the multiple interlinkages between these goals and global climate action. The Conference will take stock of progress on synergistic action at all levels. It will also shed light on some of key findings and messages from the work of the Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergies. More specifically\, the Fourth Global Conference on Climate and SDD Synergies will deliver: \n\nA forward-looking summary\, with a set of key recommendations for enhancing synergistic implementation of the SDGs and climate action at the political level as well as practical levels.\nA set of empirical evidence on climate action and the SDGs co-benefits\, including how various stakeholders are progressing in delivering jointly on these two agendas and transitioning towards just\, equitable\, and climate compatible pathways.\n\n\n\n\nLiam Marais
