SUMMARY:How ISO standards and guidelines can solve your ESG reporting and data challenges
DESCRIPTION:Most companies are coming to terms with the fact that ESG reporting is increasing exponentially\, with more and more countries mandating some form of reporting. Mandatory ESG reporting requirements now extend well beyond detailing greenhouse gas emissions\, and include disclosure of other key environmental issues\, safety\, human rights\, modern-day slavery\, supply chain and overall third-party due diligence\, among other topics. \nWhile reporting is a challenge\, it is not the solution. The solution is building programmes to address these critical areas in your materiality assessment and using those programmes to develop ready-made data that can be easily turned into ESG reports required by regulators. \nIn this 30-minute webinar\, Speeki’s CEO Scott Lane will take you on a journey of ESG and sustainability. He will explain how already existing management system standards can help you run your programmes as one integrated management system that can meet available reporting requirements from all known jurisdictions. \nYou will be introduced to: \n\nthe steps beyond a materiality assessment and how to turn important areas into a management system\nhow to identify the available management systems that you can use\nhow to quickly and easily migrate your existing initiatives into a management system\nhow an integrated system can save you time and effort in managing separate issues\nhow an integrated system can help solve the data challenges that come with ESG reporting.\n\nREGISTER HERE \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:ESG Portfolio Management: Optimizing Opportunities & Performance
DESCRIPTION:More investment portfolio managers are recognizing that ESG factors can have a material impact on a company’s long-term financial performance. Companies with strong ESG practices may be better positioned to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities\, while those with weak ESG practices may face reputational and regulatory risks that could negatively impact financial performance. \nInstitutional investors are also under increasing pressure from stakeholders to consider ESG factors in investment decisions. As a result\, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become an important consideration and essential component of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. However\, implementing this strategy is a considerable undertaking\, with significant challenges including alignment of ESG priorities\, tedious manual data collection processes\, and insufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance. \nWe invite you to join Archer and BPM for this webinar to learn about:\n• Current developments\, roadblocks\, and upside potential of ESG portfolio management\n• Optimal approach for portfolio management companies to build and sustain an ESG program\n• How Archer can enhance ESG performance management and reporting practices for optimized management decision-making \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:ESG: Dispatch from the Front Lines of Accountable Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors have captured the attention of trillions of dollars of capital\, engaged thousands of consultants\, and become a top strategic concern in the C-suite and board rooms. However\, over the past 18 months\, a countermovement has challenged the efforts to value ESG factors and incorporate them into strategic initiatives\, claiming that such efforts are “woke” and antithetical to free markets. This countermovement has culminated in seven separate Congressional hearings in Washington\, DC in July 2023\, challenging various aspects of ESG integration. Yet\, at the same time\, EU ESG disclosure regulation continues to expand and investor and corporate interest in ESG factors remains strong. \nIn this LinkedIn Live Session\, three leaders in ESG integration – across financial services\, consulting\, and corporate – will join Wharton professors to discuss their perspectives on the current battle of ideas\, dollars\, and action. Join us to learn the latest actionable insights from the front lines of accountable capitalism. \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: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. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists
DESCRIPTION:The demand for seasoned talent in the ESG strategy space is rapidly increasing. Global corporations’ strategists and consultants are accelerating the buildout of their ESG practices on sound business grounds\, but those brought in to implement such significant business transformation are often working from an inherent deficit. They must rise above the rhetoric and lofty promises of their firms to quickly effect concrete change that delivers tangible value. \nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists equips corporate strategists\, consultants\, business development leads\, and other cross-functional leaders with the practically relevant research and tools to lead ESG strategy integration — from project valuation to ESG risk and opportunity assessment\, from data adoption best practices to team deployment and project management. The program focuses on the myriad risks and opportunities associated with the climate transition; broader environmental risks; diversity\, equity\, and inclusion; socio-political risk; and shareholder activism\, then concentrates on the skills needed for strategy execution — corporate political activity\, organizational change\, and systems and processes analysis. \nProgram Experience\nHighlights and Key Outcomes\nIn Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists\, you will: \n\nDevelop a rigorous foundation for integrating ESG factors into strategic analysis\nAnalyze the efficacy of strategic responses to ESG risks and opportunities\nImprove ESG communications\, disclosure\, and data systems\nBuild integrated project plans and dashboards encompassing ESG factors\nEffectively engage stakeholders in the most complex and conflictual stakeholder environments\n\nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists is comprised of one month of introductory content (Wharton ESG Essentials) immediately followed by an additional month of specialized strategy content. This advanced certificate is designed to quickly catapult corporate leaders to the forefront of ongoing ESG decision making\, empowering them to act as informed\, prepared catalysts for change amid urgent and complex constraints and opportunities. \n\nBlended Online Program Structure\nThis program’s blended format is designed to produce maximum\, immediate impact for the busy executive.

Participants will analyze how these and other environmental risks influence corporate strategy and what tools and resources are available to reduce risk exposure.

Participants will engage in issue and stakeholder mapping\, learning how to integrate pertinent data into usable and accessible dashboards.

SUMMARY:2023 SDG Summit
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 SDG Summit will take place on 18-19 September 2023 in New York. It will mark the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030. \nConvened by the President of the General Assembly\, the Summit will mark the half-way point to the deadline set for achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. It will be the centerpiece of the High-level Week of the General Assembly. It will respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world and is expected to reignite a sense of hope\, optimism\, and enthusiasm for the 2030 Agenda. \nREGISTRATION \nBackground\nThe 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a global plan of action to drive economic prosperity and social well-being while protecting the environment. Countries established the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) — to boost efforts to achieve the goals. \nThe High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) meets every year in July under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council\, bringing high-level representatives of governments and stakeholders together to review progress\, examine obstacles\, exchange best practices\, and recommend new actions to achieve the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. Countries agreed that every four years\, the HLPF will meet under the auspices of the General Assembly at the level of Heads of State and Government. (General Assembly resolutions 67/290 and 70/299) \nOn 24 and 25 September 2019\, the first SDG Summit – the HLPF under the auspices of the General Assembly was convened in New York since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda in 2015. It resulted in the adoption of the Political Declaration\, “Gearing up for a decade of action and delivery for sustainable development”. World leaders called for a decade of action to deliver the SDGs by 2030 and announced acceleration actions they are taking to advance the agenda.

SUMMARY:Making Corporate Data Work for Climate Disclosures
DESCRIPTION:Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting is experiencing unprecedented expansion. With increasing regulatory pressure — for example\, the United States Securities Exchange Commission’s (SEC) proposed climate risk disclosure rule and the European Union’s (EU) Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive — there is increased urgency for more reliable and shareable corporate emissions data. \nAt Climate Week in New York City\, the Carbon Call will bring together corporations\, regulators\, standard setters\, and philanthropies to present actionable solutions that help companies overcome constraints when gathering\, interpreting\, and sharing GHG data. This includes developing: \n\nmetadata requirements that increase transparency and accurate interpretation;\ndigital data that is discoverable\, searchable\, and accessible within corporations and supply chains\, and between organizations; and\na smart digital dictionary that ensures terms are clearly understood and unambiguous.\n\nThese solutions will aid companies better discover\, understand\, and share GHG emissions data and deliver on regulatory drivers such as reporting mandates\, as well as voluntary disclosures and tracking climate targets. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout the Carbon Call\nLaunched in 2022\, the Carbon Call has brought together leaders from 80 companies\, philanthropies\, and organizations to work together to better discover\, understand\, and share GHG emissions data. The Carbon Call is mobilizing collective action\, investment\, and resources to strengthen GHG accounting\, making it more reliable and interoperable for the planet. \nAt COP27 in Egypt last November\, the Carbon Call released the Roadmap to more Interoperable Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting\, outlining findings and opportunities to drive more interoperable GHG accounting and reporting. The roadmap results from five months of collective problem-solving and is backed by case studies from the Carbon Call’s member organizations. \nLiam Marais

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
