Navigating Climate Credit Risk: Insights from NGFS III for Corporates
2023-05-23 11:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual Event
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.
Modelling challenges include combining physical risk across climate hazards as well as deriving firm-level metrics from the transition risk implied sectoral pathways.
Regulators 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.

NGFS Scenarios’ Evolution: Net Zero and Nationally Determined Contributions imply lower emissions

Regional Meeting on Accelerating the Transition to Electric Mobility for Public Transport in Asia and the Pacific
2023-05-24 08:00 - 2023-05-25 17:00 | Virtual Event
United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in is organizing the Regional Meeting on Accelerating the Transition to Electric Mobility for Public Transport in collaboration with the Department of Transportation, the Philippines on 24 and 25 May 2023 in Manila. The meeting will be conducted in English language only.
Achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to well below 2 degree C compared to pre-industrial levels will require rapid decarbonization across all sectors including the transport sector. Transitioning to electric mobility in public transport is one of the policy options to reduce vehicle emissions and dependence on fossil fuel for transport operations. Furthermore, electric mobility, improvement of public transport and shifts to renewable energy sources are some of the key transport strategies listed in the nationally determined contributions of Asian countries.
The objective of the meeting is to share international, regional, and national experiences on transitioning to electric mobility and to raise awareness and enhance capacity of key stakeholders on the development of national policy frameworks on electric mobility. A series of policy-oriented reports on e-mobility in public transport commissioned by ESCAP such as a step-by-step guideline, case studies on operation of electric buses and the Asia-Pacific Initiative on Electric Mobility will be disseminated. The meeting aims to foster greater collaboration among e-mobility stakeholders from both the public and private sectors in the region.
Participants from the Asia-Pacific region, representatives of development partners and international and regional experts on electric mobility are expected to attend the meeting.

2023 Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on Sustainable Maritime Connectivity
2023-05-29 21:30 - 2023-05-31 06:30 | Virtual Event
Maritime and port activities serve as a key enabler of all dimensions of sustainable development and of deeper regional integration due to their vital role as the gateway for international trade. Despite the diversity of Asia and the Pacific region, which includes coastal countries, small island developing States or archipelago countries, there are several common issues that they all should consider in establishing their maritime and port development policies, such as supporting the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, achieving the greenhouse gas reduction targets, promoting technological innovation in the shipping and port industries and collaborating with the private sector to improve shipping performance.
Regular sharing of best practices and experiences on these and related issues can contribute to promoting better maritime transport connectivity as well as stimulating collective action for achieving SDGs. In recognition of this, the Regional Action Programme for Sustainable Transport Development in Asia and the Pacific (2022–2026), adopted at the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Transport in Bangkok in December 2021, includes a systematic regional dialogue on sustainable and resilient maritime connectivity, including the promotion of the development of low- and zero-emissions green shipping for Asia and the Pacific in close partnership with global and regional actors and the shipping industry.
The 2023 edition of the Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on Sustainable Maritime Connectivity will be held in Bangkok, Thailand and online on 30-31 May 2023. The event will bring together experts from the member countries and relevant organizations to engage on a wider array of issues relevant for strengthening and enhancing maritime connectivity in Asia and the Pacific, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia.

WOAH and UNEP: Nature and Wildlife Health
2023-06-19 23:00 - 2023-06-20 00:30 | Virtual Event
WOAH and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will host a joint webinar, “Nature and wildlife health: making the case for investment in Asia and the Pacific”
Human, animal and ecosystem health, as well as the environment, are fundamentally interconnected.
Wildlife and environmental health are often neglected by policy makers, with insufficient human and financial resources allocated. This webinar will focus on the case for investment to improve environment competencies at the country/territory level through multisectoral collaboration between Veterinary Services and the environment/wildlife sector.
The event will bring together veterinary, agriculture and environment sector stakeholders. It will focus on the human-animal-ecosystems interface. These are the agricultural and productive spaces where biodiversity loss is declining rapidly, which is destabilising the ecosystem services on which local people depend for food and livelihoods. This has consequences for all of society.
As such, we will focus on the value of wild agro-biodiversity, and particularly fauna – the birds, bats, frogs, crabs, insects, rodents, snakes, that live in and around the rice fields, crop farms, wood plots, wild borders, grazing areas, riverbanks of populated areas in the Asia Pacific region.

Moody’s 8th Annual US Project Finance Conference
2023-12-07 14:00 - 16:30 | Virtual Event
Risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy and new transportation, digital infrastructure, and real estate related projects amid a softer economic outlook [online event]
Welcome,
Engage with seasoned analysts from Moody’s Investors Service to discuss the risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy, our 2024 US transportation sector outlooks, and new credit trends in the US project finance market.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, joins us to discuss his economic outlook for 2024 amid rising uncertainty and softening expectations for future growth. We will examine the implications of this economic outlook on financings related to the transition to a carbon-free economy, the current state of new technologies to help with this transition and how utilities are maintaining reliability as renewables increase and more transmission investments are needed.
Our lineup also offers opportunities to delve into examples of how higher interest rates have influenced project financing structures and what we expect to continue in 2024. Changing market dynamics have resulted in several new data center, digital infrastructure, real estate related and EV charging projects that each have their own unique risk profiles to be considered project financings. Analysts will share how projects have addressed construction cost inflation and supply chain disruptions and how these evolving risks may be mitigated in some cases.
This event is online-only.
