UNEP webinar on report findings on solutions to end plastic pollution
2023-05-17 09:00 - 10:00 | Virtual Event
In this webinar, UNEP will present the key findings of its latest report “Turning off the Tap: How the world can end plastic pollution and create a circular economy“. The report proposes a systems change to address the causes of plastic pollution. It combines reducing the most problematic and unnecessary plastic uses with three market shifts – Reuse, Recycle, and Reorient and Diversify – and actions to deal with the plastic pollution legacy.

Reuse refers to the transformation of the ‘throwaway economy’ to a ‘reuse society’.
Recycling refers to the importance of accelerating the market for plastics recycling, ensuring it becomes a more profitable venture.
Reorient and Diversify refer to shifting the market demand towards sustainable plastic alternatives.

The report highlights that these solutions are available now and explains how a systems change underpinned by the necessary integrated regulatory instruments will result in social, environmental, and economic benefits.

Sustainable Aerospace Together Forum 2023
2023-05-17 11:30 - 19:30 | Virtual Event
The race to decarbonize the aviation sector is intensifying as technologies evolve and net-zero targets draw nearer. Industry leaders and politicians are under growing pressure to increase efficiencies and align on the scale-up of low-emission solutions whilst maintaining safety, commercial viability and growth. At least two-thirds of aviation’s carbon reduction is expected to come from sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). With SAF technology already proven, incentives and mandates aimed at maximizing their capacity are crucial steps in the transition to non-fossil energy. Efforts are also focused on longer-term development and ways to tackle the challenges of electric and hydrogen propulsion.
Policymakers and the energy and finance sectors have a vital role in the new aviation economy. Cooperation, innovation and investment are fundamental to eliminating climate impact, especially given the complexity and capital-intensity of this hard-to-abate industry. Where are the opportunities to improve sustainability, costs and efficiencies through collaboration and partnerships? What barriers stand in the way of the successful scale-up and commercialization of alternative aviation fuels? How can digital tools aid decision-making and development?
The Sustainable Aerospace Together Forum, hosted by Boeing and FT Live, will gather the aviation sector together with policy, energy and finance leaders. The discussion will focus on the capabilities, cooperation and solutions needed to align and ensure the industry reaches its decarbonization targets and business goals.

Reshaping the Green Iron and Steel Value Chain
2023-05-22 08:00 - 09:00 | Virtual Event
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.
As 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).

Multinational Enterprises and Climate Change: Fundamental Risks and Big Opportunities
2023-05-23 09:00 - 10:00 | Virtual Event
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:
(1) What effect do MNEs currently have on climate change, through their own activities and through their broader supply chains?
(2) How do MNEs shape the potential transfer of “green” technology transfers to domestic firms?
(3) How committed are leading MNEs currently to transition their supply chains to net-zero emissions by 2050?
(4) What types of policies can influence multinational enterprises’ effect on climate change?
The 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.

Navigating Climate Credit Risk: Insights from NGFS III for Corporates
2023-05-23 11:00 - 15:00 | 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.

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.

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.

About the Program

As Bloomberg Equality enters its sixth year, our theme is Fostering an Inclusive Economy. The rapid digital transformation of our economy requires business leaders and policy makers to redouble efforts to ensure that no one gets left behind. We are at a critical moment to advance equity and equality.
At our inaugural event in Atlanta, we’ll explore the potential of what can be achieved by setting ideological differences aside for economic opportunities. Atlanta has fueled a reverse migration to the South and has grown to be the ninth largest market in the U.S. How can leaders ensure that rapid pace of growth does not exile the most vulnerable to the fringes of society?
