SUMMARY:Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual MeetingHeld during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) | Abu Dhabi\, United Arab Emirates \nThe Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual Meeting takes place during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) and serves as a high-level convening point for global leaders across finance\, policy\, energy\, and innovation. The meeting is designed to accelerate the flow of capital toward climate solutions—transforming global climate commitments\, including those advanced at COP28\, into deployable\, real-world investments. \nHosted across key financial and institutional venues including Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC)\, the GCFC Annual Meeting has become a cornerstone of ADSW’s finance and policy agenda. Recent editions\, including the January 2025 meeting\, brought together more than 300 senior stakeholders—investors\, policymakers\, innovators\, regulators\, and financial institutions—to align capital with climate outcomes at scale. \nPurpose and Strategic Focus\nThe GCFC Annual Meeting is explicitly designed to bridge the gap between climate ambition and climate finance execution. Its core objective is to mobilize both public and private capital toward sustainable\, bankable projects that support the global energy transition\, particularly in emerging and high-growth markets. \nCentral to the program is positioning the UAE as a global climate finance hub\, capable of convening international capital\, structuring innovative financial mechanisms\, and enabling cross-border public-private collaboration. \nKey Themes\nRecent GCFC Annual Meetings have been structured around action-oriented themes such as “Climate Meets Capital”and “Progress in Action\,” reflecting a deliberate shift from pledges to implementation. Core thematic areas include: \n\n\nScaling climate and transition finance beyond pilot projects \n\n\nMobilizing private capital alongside sovereign and multilateral funding \n\n\nAdvancing green finance instruments\, including green bonds\, blended finance\, and carbon pricing \n\n\nLeveraging AI and data-driven tools to improve transparency\, risk assessment\, and climate asset evaluation \n\n\nAligning financial systems with net-zero and energy transition pathways \n\n\nWhat to Expect\nBased on recent GCFC Annual Meetings\, participants can expect: \n\n\nHigh-level dialogues on translating COP outcomes into scalable\, investable finance—particularly for emerging and developing markets \n\n\nShowcases of innovation\, including AI-enabled climate finance tools and data platforms supporting better capital allocation \n\n\nStrategic briefings on upcoming initiatives\, priorities\, and frameworks for accelerating energy transition investments \n\n\nAction-oriented collaboration\, connecting investors\, governments\, and solution providers around tangible financing pathways \n\n\nLooking Ahead\nLooking forward\, the GCFC Annual Meeting aims to “manufacture climate finance at scale”—moving beyond individual transactions toward systemic solutions that reshape how climate capital is structured\, deployed\, and measured. Future sessions are expected to build on this momentum\, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s role as a convening center for global climate finance leadership and execution. \nFor ESG News Media Opportunities at the Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual Meeting: \nESG News will be hosting featured sessions\, interviews\, and fireside chats during ADSW.

SUMMARY:International Day of Family Remittances
DESCRIPTION:Background\nThe International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR) is a universally-recognized observance adopted by the United Nations General Assembly and celebrated every year on 16 June. The Day recognizes the contribution of over 200 million migrants to improve the lives of their 800 million family members back home\, and to create a future of hope for their children. Half of these flows go to rural areas\, where poverty and hunger are concentrated\, and where remittances count the most. \nThrough this observance\, the United Nations aims to bring greater awareness of the impact that these contributions have on millions of households\, but also on communities\, countries\, and entire regions. The Day also calls upon governments\, private sector entities\, as well as the civil society\, to find ways that can maximize the impact of remittances through individual\, and/or collective actions. \nThe IDFR is now fully recognized at the global level\, and included as one of the a key initiatives to implement the Global Compact for Safe\, Orderly and Regular Migration (Objective 20)\, also calling for the reduction of remittance transfer costs\, and greater financial inclusion through remittances. The Day also promotes achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and furthers the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \n\n\nRemittance flows trends\nIn 2022\, international remittances to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) amounted to US$647 billion. Such average monthly transfers of US$200-US$300 sent by migrant workers support many basic household and prove transformational for both households and local communities\, enabling many families to achieve their ‘own’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nHowever. the cost of transferring US$200 across international boundaries to LMICs is still high —averaging 6.2% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Mobile providers offer the best rates (4.5%)\, but less than 1% of transactions are made through digital channels. Remittance services are now much quicker and less expensive thanks to digital technologies. \nFor further information visit: familyRemittances.org and IFAD. \n\n\n\nDigital remittances towards financial inclusion and cost reduction\nIFAD\, as custodian of the IDFR\, aims at ensuring support of the observance and dissemination of resulting actions in the framework of the decennial #FamilyRemittances Campaign 2020‑2030: Support one billion people reach their own SDGs. In that timeframe\, through a spotlight on yearly themes aligned to the global development agenda\, the campaign aims at strengthening and guiding stakeholders in focusing on the new trends and priorities that make remittances count more. \nThe IDFR 2023-24 campaign focuses on promoting digital technologies to enhance financial inclusion in LMICs\, and to work towards achieving the cost reduction target of 3% as mentioned in SDG 10.c. \nThe IDFR and the United Nations commend the determination and resilience of the human spirit as evidenced by migrant workers. Further\, the UN calls for governments\, the private sector\, development organizations and the civil society to promote digital and financial solutions for remittances that foster greater social and economic resilience and inclusion. \n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:International Day to End Obstetric Fistula
DESCRIPTION:“20 years on – progress but not enough! Act now to end fistula by 2030!”\nObstetric fistula is a hole between the birth canal and bladder or rectum\, caused by prolonged\, obstructed labour without access to timely\, high-quality medical treatment. It leaves women and girls leaking urine\, faeces or both\, and often leads to chronic medical problems\, depression\, social isolation and deepening poverty. Ninety percent of pregnancies involving fistula end in stillbirth. \nHealth systems and communities are falling short in ending obstetric fistula. Gender discrimination and social marginalization create additional risks\, resulting in fistula disproportionately occurring among impoverished\, underserved and marginalized women and girls. \nThree cost-effective solutions can prevent fistula: timely access to high-quality emergency obstetric and newborn care\, trained professionals with midwifery skills at childbirth\, and universal access to modern contraception. Health systems can reduce fistula by tracking prevalence\, correcting gaps in care and ensuring universal access to a competent health workforce. National health plans must also address gender discrimination and other factors making women and girls more vulnerable to maternal mortality and disease. \nBold political leadership and investment could eradicate fistula. Ambitious partnerships and scaled-up investments are imperative to ending fistula by 2030 – our global target under the Sustainable Development Goals. \nUNFPA leads the global Campaign to End Fistula\, a drive to transform the lives of vulnerable women and girls. The 20-year-old campaign represents a global commitment to fistula prevention and holistic treatment\, including surgical repair and social reintegration and rehabilitation. Despite progress\, elimination by 2030 demands accelerated action\, starting now. To that end\, the theme for the international day this year is “20 years on – progress but not enough! Act now to end fistula by 2030!” \n\nEnding obstetric fistula by 2030\n2020 marked the count-down towards the goal of ending the problem of obstetric fistula by 2030\, according to the last report of the Secretary General. \nObstetric fistula is preventable; it can largely be avoided by delaying the age of first pregnancy; the cessation of harmful traditional practices; and timely access to obstetric care. \nBesides\, it is expected that 13 million more child marriages could take place by 2030 than would have otherwise. Families are more likely to marry off daughters to alleviate the perceived burden of caring for them\, especially in the anticipated economic fallout of the pandemic. \nDue to all these reasons an increase in cases might occur and new strategies will be required in the post-COVID-19 recovery period to address the expected backlog of cases. \nWith this possible future scenario of preventive measures in danger\, now more than ever\, it is important to call on the international community to use the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula to significantly raise awareness and intensify actions towards ending obstetric fistula\, as well as urging post-surgery follow-up and tracking of fistula patients. \n\nUNFPA leads the global Campaign to End Fistula\, a drive to transform the lives of vulnerable women and girls.\nThe 20-year-old campaign represents a global commitment to fistula prevention and holistic treatment\, including surgical repair and social reintegration and rehabilitation. Despite progress\, elimination by 2030 demands accelerated action\, starting now. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

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. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
