SUMMARY:International Girls in ICT Day
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, International Girls in ICT Day will be celebrated on 25 April. This year the main ITU celebration will be held in the Philippines and kindly hosted by the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT). \nThis year’s theme for the Girls in ICT day celebrations is “Leadership“\, to underscore the critical need for strong female role models in science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) careers. \nAlthough women now fill 40% of high-skill occupations globally\, their participation in ICT-related fields continues to be low. \nWomen are nearly absent from software development\, engineering\, technology research\, academia as well as at the highest levels of policy making. They also tend to leave science and technology jobs at higher rates than men. \nWhile there is a leadership gender gap in every industry\, the largest gaps are found in the STEM fields. Women in ICT often find themselves in junior or support roles rather than in managerial roles\, with little opportunity for advancement. They are also less likely to hold an executive position\, become ICT entrepreneurs\, or be represented among science and technology policymakers. \nTo thrive in STEM\, girls and young women must be exposed to women in leadership positions\, fostering inspiration and breaking down barriers that hinder their progress. The Girls in ICT Day 2024 theme aims to address these challenges\, encouraging empowerment and leadership development for a more equitable future in STEM. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:International Day of Education
DESCRIPTION:To invest in people\, prioritize education\nThe year 2023 marks the mid-point since the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda for people\, planet and prosperity\, with a set of 17 interlocked goals that will come up for review at the SDG Summit in September on the theme of investing in people. \nBuilding on the global momentum generated by the UN Transforming Education Summit in September 2022\, this year’s Day calls for maintaining strong political mobilization around education and charting the way to translate commitments and global initiatives into action. Education must be prioritized to accelerate progress towards all the Sustainable Development Goals against the backdrop of a global recession\, growing inequalities and the climate crisis. \nThe International Day of Education on 24 January 2023 is dedicated to Afghan women and girls. \nRead UNESCO’s concept note for the 2023 celebration and download the programme. \n\nBackground\nEducation is a human right\, a public good and a public responsibility. \nThe United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education\, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development. \nEducation is a human right\nThe right to education is enshrined in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration calls for free and compulsory elementary education. The Convention on the Rights of the Child\, adopted in 1989\, goes further to stipulate that countries shall make higher education accessible to all. \n\nEducation is key to sustainable development\nWhen it adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015\, the international community recognized that education is essential for the success of all 17 of its goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4\, in particular\, aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. \nChallenges to achieving universal education\nEducation offers children a ladder out of poverty and a path to a promising future. But about 244 million children and adolescents around the world are out of school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower secondary school and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable. \nWithout inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all\, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children\, youth and adults behind. \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:Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals
DESCRIPTION:$35 trillion dollars of assets under management claim inclusion of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment strategies. However\, their portfolio managers must navigate imperfect data sets to measure the impact of a company’s ESG factors. Additionally\, investors and regulators must navigate mounting skepticism of ESG claims\, trying to separate the green from the greenwash. They’re positioned in a bind — beholden to growing shareholder appetite for returns on sustainable and value-driven portfolios\, while simultaneously competing against benchmark funds that focus only on short-term performance. \nThis Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals combines Wharton’s world-class financial acumen with the critical insights from award-winning Wharton faculty pioneering ESG research. The result is a powerful\, actionable toolkit for investment professionals to implement\, measure\, model\, and optimize ESG-asset integration in their portfolios for sustained value generation. \nProgram Experience\nHighlights and Key Outcomes\nIn the Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals program\, you will: \n\nEnhance your ability to integrate ESG factors into diverse investment strategies across asset classes\nIdentify climate leaders and laggards across industries and those poised to seize transition opportunities\nUnderstand how complex regulations give rise to financial markets for carbon and renewable energy certificates\, and how this impacts the profitability of various industries\nAnalyze financial implications of different political risks and future scenarios from geopolitical to national to local levels\nAnticipate ESG shareholder activism and engagement as well as their impacts\n\nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals is comprised of one month of introductory content (Wharton ESG Essentials) immediately followed by an additional month of specialized investing content.

Participants will join live online sessions for two hours once a week over eight weeks. Sessions will be led by award-winning Wharton faculty who are pioneering academic research and leading the dialogue in the rapidly evolving ESG field. \nBroadcasted and facilitated live from a technologically advanced classroom\, the program prioritizes live engagement and employs a host of instructional modalities to enhance the learning experience: in-class discussions\, case work\, small-group breakout sessions\, role playing\, and several competitive and engaging simulations. In addition\, participants will work through self-paced content at their convenience in between live sessions. \n\nProgram Details:\nEvery Wednesday for four consecutive weeks in September\n2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT \n\nDay 1: September 6\nDay 2: September 13\nDay 3: September 20\nDay 4: September 27\n\nAND \nEvery Monday for four consecutive weeks in October\n2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT \n\nDay 5: October 2\nDay 6: October 9\nDay 7: October 16\nDay 8: October 23\n\n\nExperience and Impact\nIn the Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals program\, you will build on the foundation acquired in Wharton ESG Essentials to dive deeper into investment strategies that tap ESG data and insight — be it through accepted best practices or emerging levers. Whether you pursue fundamental analysis\, value-based investing\, factor models\, screens or tilts\, quant models\, event-based trading strategies\, impact investing\, or thematically oriented focused efforts on different ESG factors\, you will see the rapidly evolving frontier of the field and develop the skills needed to push it forward. The discussion will also look beyond publicly traded equities to private markets\, corporate and public fixed income\, real estate\, and alternative investment assets. \nYou will gain a better understanding of climate finance — how carbon markets and others drive the energy transition\, and how to identify firms benefiting from climate transition tailwinds as well as headwinds within and across industries. The program will examine perspectives on the green technology and innovation sector\, where cost curves are rapidly evolving\, threatening to sunset some industries while accelerating the growth of new ones. And you will learn to map green supply chains to see the bottlenecks that will generate short-term inflationary pressures and medium- to long-term investment opportunities. You will also learn about the rapidly growing market for green bonds and what they can and can’t offer in terms of impact. \nThe program will also explore geopolitical scenarios for the world economy over the next decade and their implications for portfolio construction. And from a governance standpoint\, you will learn about the risk factors that make some firms more likely to face shareholder activism and less capable or successful in their response. You will also develop tools and tactics for more sophisticated engagement with firms to unlock value. \nSession topics include: \n\nESG and Impact Investing\nClimate Finance and Economics\nShareholder Activism\nSocio-Political Risk\n\n\nThose interested in learning more about Wharton ESG Essentials\, or additional ESG specialized certificates\, can visit here. \nParticipants who have successfully completed Wharton ESG Essentials as a standalone program can apply for and enroll in a certificate track within one year of Essentials completion. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:ESG: Unlocking Impact Through Education #UNGA77
DESCRIPTION:A new approach to ESG and Corporate Social Responsibility\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is open to ESG\, social impact\, corporate philanthropy and sustainability professionals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvidence demonstrates strong correlations between education and diverse outcomes ranging from health\, climate\, economic growth and wages to equity\, diversity and inclusion. This event will explore how corporate actions\, small and large\, can make a quantifiable and direct impact across all aspects of environmental\, social and governance (ESG) priorities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompanies traditionally committed to education as a social impact priority are finding it difficult to justify these efforts under new ESG frameworks linked to risk mitigation and sustainability. Similarly\, ESG professionals do not view acting on education as leverage point to advance ESG objectives.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe discussion will provide a framework for investment in education to mitigate risk\, improve corporate performance\, and enhance corporate perception. while making a more tangible impact on society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by gbceducation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
