SUMMARY:World Seagrass Day
DESCRIPTION:Healthy seagrass\, healthy planet\nIn May 2022\, the General Assembly adopted A/RES/76/265 proclaiming 1 March as World Seagrass Day. The resolution highlights the urgent need to raise awareness at all levels and to promote and facilitate actions for the conservation of seagrasses in order to contribute to their health and development\, bearing in mind that enhancing ecosystem services and functions is important for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. \n\nWhy seagrass matters\nSeagrasses are marine flowering plants that are found in shallow waters in many parts of the world\, from the tropics to the Arctic circle. They form extensive underwater meadows\, creating complex\, highly productive and biologically rich habitats. \nCovering only 0.1% of the ocean floor\, these seagrass meadows provide food and shelter to thousands of species of fish\, seahorses\, turtles\, etc. and sustain some of the world’s largest fisheries. They improve water quality by filtering\, cycling and storing nutrients and pollutants\, reducing contamination in seafood. Highly efficient carbon sinks\, they can store up to 18% of the world’s oceanic carbon\, making them a powerful nature-based solutions to tackle climate change impacts. Because they buffer ocean acidification\, they contribute to the resilience of the most vulnerable ecosystems and species\, such as coral reefs. And to the coastal populations\, they act as the first line of defense along coasts by reducing wave energy\, protecting people from the increasing risk of floods and storms. \n\nA resource in danger\nDespite its important contribution to sustainable development and climate change mitigation and adaptation\, this core component of marine biodiversity is in danger and only about a quarter of all meadows fall within marine protected areas. \nSeagrasses have been declining globally since the 1930s\, with the most recent census estimating that 7% of this key marine habitat is being lost worldwide per year. It was recently noted that 21% of seagrass species are categorized as Near Threatened\, Vulnerable and Endangered Species under the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. \nThe combined pressures of coastal development\, pollution\, including land-based run-off\, climate change\, dredging and unregulated fishing and boating activities are key drivers of the degradation of seagrasses and their associated ecosystems. \n\nProtection works\nDespite a general global trend of seagrass loss\, some areas have shown abating declines or substantial recovery of seagrasses. These recoveries can often be attributed to human interventions reducing the effect of human-caused stressors. \nSeagrasses are critical for life underwater\, but also provide wide-ranging benefits to people on land. Raising awareness about their importance for community well-being\, whether through food security from fish production\, improved quality of water filtered by seagrasses\, protection of coasts from erosion\, storms and floods\, or carbon sequestration and storage will drive efforts around the world to conserve\, better manage and restore these ecosystems. \nUltimately\, the protection and restoration of seagrass meadows will help countries achieve multiple economic\, societal and nutritional objectives\, aligning with and supported by policies implemented at the national\, regional or global levels. For example: \n\nThe benefits from conserving and restoring seagrass meadows can also help countries achieve 26 targets and indicators associated with ten Sustainable Development Goals.\nGiven the carbon storage and sequestration capacity of seagrass ecosystems\, including them in nationally determined contributions (NDCs) can help nations achieve their targets under the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).\nInclusion of seagrass ecosystems in the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is also critical for protecting the integrity of marine ecosystems and biodiversity.\nRestoration of seagrasses also provides countries with opportunities to achieve commitments to be made to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.\n\nInclusion of seagrass management\, conservation and restoration should be a critical component of sustainable blue economy strategies in the future. Projects are already underway in various countries\, and a few have even been selected as World Restoration Flagships initiatives. Chosen as best examples of large-scale and long-term ecosystem restoration\, these projects embody the 10 restoration principles of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. \n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nSeagrass meadows exist in 159 countries on six continents\, covering over 300\,000 km2\, making them one of the most widespread coastal habitats on Earth.\nAlmost 30% of global seagrass area has been lost since the late nineteenth century and at least 22 of the world’s 72 seagrass species are in decline.\nSeagrasses\, as a part of the marine ecosystem\, store up to 18% of the world’s oceanic carbon.\nConserving and restoring seagrass meadows can also help countries achieve 26 targets and indicators associated with ten Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\n\n\nShealyn Brannon

SUMMARY:Global Tourism Resilience Day
DESCRIPTION:Resilient tourism\nFor many developing countries\, including the least developed countries\, small island developing states\, countries in Africa and middle-income countries\, tourism is a major source of income\, foreign currency earnings\, tax revenue and employment. Because tourism connects people with nature\, sustainable tourism has the unique ability to spur environmental responsibility and conservation. \nSustainable tourism\, including ecotourism\, is a cross-cutting activity that can contribute to the three dimensions of sustainable development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by fostering economic growth\, alleviating poverty\, creating full and productive employment and decent work for all. \nIt can also play a role in accelerating the change to more sustainable consumption and production patterns and promoting the sustainable use of oceans\, seas and marine resources\, promoting local culture\, improving the quality of life and the economic empowerment of women and young people\, indigenous peoples and local communities and promoting rural development and better living conditions for rural populations\, including small-holder and family farmers. \nThe use of sustainable and resilient tourism as a tool to foster sustained and inclusive economic growth\, social development and financial inclusion\, enables the formalization of the informal sector\, the promotion of domestic resource mobilization and environmental protection and the eradication of poverty and hunger\, including the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and natural resources and the promotion of investment and entrepreneurship in sustainable tourism. \nGlobal Tourism Resilience Day (17 February)\, proclaimed by the General Assembly in resolution A/RES/77/269\, aims to emphasize the need to foster resilient tourism development to deal with shocks\, taking into account the vulnerability of the tourism sector to emergencies. It is also a call for action for Member States to develop national strategies for rehabilitation after disruptions\, including through private-public cooperation and the diversification of activities and products. \n\n\n\nTourism Data Dashboard\n\nThe UNWTO Tourism Data Dashboard – provides statistics and insights on key indicators for inbound and outbound tourism at the global\, regional and national levels. Data covers tourist arrivals\, tourism share of exports and contribution to GDP\, source markets\, seasonality and accommodation (data on number of rooms\, guest and nights). \n\nDASHBOARD\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nTourism supports millions of direct and indirect jobs all over the world\, in particular for women and young people.\nFor some small island states and developing countries\, tourism accounts for over 20 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).\nThe economic contribution of tourism (tourism direct GDP) was estimated at $1.9 trillion in 2021\, higher than the $1.6 trillion recorded for 2020\, but still well below the pre-pandemic value of $3.5 trillion.\n\n\n\n\nShealyn Brannon

SUMMARY:World Pulses Day
DESCRIPTION:What are pulses?\nPulses\, also known as legumes\, are the edible seeds of leguminous plants cultivated for food. Dried beans\, lentils and peas are the most commonly known and consumed types of pulses. \nStaples dishes and cuisines from across the world feature pulses\, from hummus in the Mediterranean (chick peas)\, to a traditional full English breakfast (baked navy beans) to Indian dal (peas or lentils). \nPulses do not include crops that are harvested green (e.g. green peas\, green beans)—these are classified as vegetable crops. Also excluded are those crops used mainly for oil extraction (e.g. soybean and groundnuts) and leguminous crops that are used exclusively for sowing purposes (e.g. seeds of clover and alfalfa). \n\nOrigin\n#WorldPulsesDay #LovePulses \nRecognizing their value\, on 20 December 2013\, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/RES/68/231) proclaiming 2016 as the International Year of Pulses (IYP). The celebration of the year\, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)\, increased the public awareness of the nutritional and environmental benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production. \nBuilding on the success of the International Year of Pulses and recognizing their potential to further achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, with particular relevance to Sustainable Development Goals 1\, 2\, 3\, 5\, 8\, 12\, 13 and 15\, Burkina Faso proposed the observance of World Pulses Day. \nIn 2019\, the General Assembly proclaimed 10 February as the World Pulses Day (resolution A/RES/73/251). \n\n\n\n\nWhy are pulses important crops?\nNutritional value\nThey are packed with nutrients and have a high protein content\, making them an ideal source of protein particularly in regions where meat and dairy are not physically or economically accessible. Pulses are low in fat and rich in soluble fiber\, which can lower cholesterol and help in the control of blood sugar. Because of these qualities they are recommended by health organizations for the management of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart conditions. Pulses have also been shown to help combat obesity. \nFood security\nFor farmers\, pulses are an important crop because they can both sell them and consume them\, which helps farmers maintain household food security and creates economic stability. \nEnvironmental benefits\nThe nitrogen-fixing properties of pulses improve soil fertility\, which increases and extends the productivity of the farmland. By using pulses for intercropping and cover crops\, farmers can also promote farm biodiversity and soil biodiversity\, while keeping harmful pests and diseases at bay. \nFurthermore\, pulses can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing dependence on the synthetic fertilizers used to introduce nitrogen artificially into the soil. Greenhouse gases are released during the manufacturing and application of these fertilizers\, and their overuse can be detrimental to the environment. \n\n\n\nShealyn Brannon

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. The General Assembly endorsed the Political Declaration on 15 October 2019. \nThe SDG Summit in September 2023 will be the second time for the HLPF to be convened under the auspices of the General Assembly at the level of Heads of State and Government. It will be chaired by the President of the General Assembly.

SUMMARY:Fourth Global Conference on Strengthening Synergies between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement are intrinsically linked\, and one cannot be achieved without the other. In the same spirit\, the Secretary-General in a recent address on his 2023 priorities stressed that “Climate action is the 21st century’s greatest opportunity to drive forward all the Sustainable Development Goals.” As such\, maximizing on the interlinkages between the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement by leveraging climate action and SDG synergies has the potential of achieving both agendas faster\, while ensuring a just and equitable future. \nIntegrated planning\, coherent policies\, and economic stimulus investments designed to meet both the SDGs and climate challenges can generate significant co-benefits and speed up progress. Research has shown that aligning actions on climate and SDGs globally can yield up to US$26 trillion before 2030 in economic gains\, produce over 65 million new green jobs\, and save approximately 7 million premature deaths per year. With concerted and coordinated global public and private collaborative efforts\, achievement of all SDGs can be advanced\, trade-offs avoided\, and social disparities reduced. \n\n\nFOURTH GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE AND SDG SYNERGIES\n\nThe Fourth Global Climate and SDG Synergy Conference is convened by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Conference is conducted in association with the 2023 HLPF. It thus also provides delegations the opportunity to reflect their on-going review of progress on achieving the SDGs\, notably SDGs 6\, 7\, 9\, 11\, and 17\, in a wider context of the multiple interlinkages between these goals and global climate action. The Conference will take stock of progress on synergistic action at all levels. It will also shed light on some of key findings and messages from the work of the Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergies. More specifically\, the Fourth Global Conference on Climate and SDD Synergies will deliver: \n\nA forward-looking summary\, with a set of key recommendations for enhancing synergistic implementation of the SDGs and climate action at the political level as well as practical levels.\nA set of empirical evidence on climate action and the SDGs co-benefits\, including how various stakeholders are progressing in delivering jointly on these two agendas and transitioning towards just\, equitable\, and climate compatible pathways.\n\n\n\n\nShealyn Brannon

SUMMARY:UN 2023 Water Conference
DESCRIPTION:Water is a fundamental part of all aspects of life. Water is inextricably linked to the three pillars of sustainable development\, and it integrates social\, cultural\, economic and political values. It is crosscutting and supports the achievement of many SDGs through close linkages with climate\, energy\, cities\, the environment\, food security\, poverty\, gender equality and health\, amongst others. With climate change profoundly affecting our economies\, societies and environment\, water is indeed the biggest deal breaker to achieve the internationally agreed water-related goals and targets\, including those contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \nThe Conference\, co-hosted by the Governments of Tajikistan and the Netherlands\, will feature an opening and closing ceremony\, six plenary meetings and five multi-stakeholder interactive dialogues. It will also feature a number of high-level special events and side events organized by Member States\, the UN system and other stakeholders. \nThe outcome of the Conference will be a summary of the Conference proceedings and new commitments\, pledges and actions by Governments and all stakeholders towards achieving SDG 6 and other water-related goals and targets\, compiled in the Water Action Agenda. \n\nThe UN 2023 Water Conference and the Water Action Agenda will unite the world for water. The key building blocks of the Water Action Agenda are: \n\ncommitment to action\nsustained and scalable implementation\nfollow-up and review processes\n\nThese blocks will enable replication and scaling up of what works and bring successful solutions to global scale. \nShealyn Brannon

SUMMARY:Unlocking Sustainable Finance for Nature-Based Solutions #UNGA77
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an event on the sidelines of UNGA 77 in New York where Devex — in partnership with FinDev Canada\, Pollination and ANZ — will show how private investors and development finance institutions hold the power to protect\, sustainably manage\, and restore ecosystems through investments in nature-based solutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvestors are now coming under increasing scrutiny over how far their investments support a pathway to net-zero\, particularly in low- and middle-income countries that often bear the highest burden of climate impacts. Private investors and development finance institutions have an opportunity to participate meaningfully in the funding of nature-based projects in these markets and expand access to bankable solutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe financing of nature-based solutions requires collaboration across a diverse set of partners\, including the public and private sector\, conservation organizations\, commercial and impact investors\, donors\, and many more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by devex\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShealyn Brannon

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\nShealyn Brannon

SUMMARY:CFA Society New York 3rd Climate and ESG Asset Owner Summit #UNGA77
DESCRIPTION:The systematic integration of ESG factors into investment strategies\, and investment decision making across asset classes\, has exploded.
