SUMMARY:Innovating New Financing Solutions to Advance the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Finance is not working for people or the planet. We need to act to change this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is a significant gap between this growing awareness and tangible actions that will result in better outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the annual SDG financing gap to $3.7 trillion in 2020\, up from $2.5 trillion in 2019 (OECD) – a drop in the ocean compared to the claimed ESG investment universe. It is certain that in the current landscape of small\, separate sustainable finance initiatives\, often focused in high- and middle-income countries\, we will not deliver the change at scale needed across the financial system globally. A transformational shift in how we think about capital\, the role of capital in society\, and the private sector is needed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this special fireside chat and audience Q&A\, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes the Director of UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub\, Marcos Neto\, to discuss the innovative instruments for attracting and disbursing significantly greater amounts of impact capital and exponentially growing the business/finance sector’s social and environmental impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will discuss\, among other topics: \n\n\n\nA new normal where enterprises’ role moves from maximizing profits to maximizing economic\, social\, and environmental impacts or\, to put it even more ambitiously\, our collective human and planetary wellbeingInstruments that enable businesses and investors to continue to be profitable and become more equitable economic models fit for the futureUNDP’s relationship to countries and the private sector in this journey\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos Neto\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos Athias Neto joined UNDP in February 2013 and has since led UNDP’s global work on private sector development and foundations\, first at UNDP’s headquarters in New York and then\, from November 2014\, as head of the Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD). In April 2019\, Marcos returned to New York to lead the establishment and management of UNDP’s new Finance Sector Hub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos led the development of UNDP’s new private sector strategy and its offers on SDG Finance. He co-chairs the executive boards of the Business Call To Action and the Connecting Business Initiative. Apart from his role at UNDP\, Marcos also serves on the Supervisory Boards of CARE International and the Museum of Tomorrow International. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the past 25 years\, Marcos has been a leader in sustainable development\, poverty eradication and multi-stakeholder partnership building. He is a passionate advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to joining UNDP\, Marcos spent 17 years at CARE International. During his tenure at CARE International\, Marcos served in numerous roles including Regional Manager for Asia and Latin America at CARE UK\, Executive Director of CARE Brasil\, and Program Director in Central America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos has lived and worked in Central and South America\, Europe and the United States and has also worked in Asia\, Middle East and Africa. He is a lawyer by training\, with a Master of Laws from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. Marcos is married and has two children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ImpactEMagazine\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Localizing Action for the Ocean: Local and Regional Governments Special Event-2022 United Nations Ocean Conference
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2022 UN Ocean Conference offers a unique opportunity for cities and regions to mobilize and demonstrate leadership in taking action to protect our ocean and ensure that the ocean and its accompanying coasts are sustainably managed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocal and regional governments\, and their associations and networks\, recognize that the protection of the ocean is pivotal to the conservation of common and natural resources.

The Special Event will be an opportunity to stress the presence of ‘urban-ocean linkages’\, and how local and regional governments should be engaged in global efforts and decisions to protect the ocean and maritime resources\, including food. The Special Event will also highlight the crucial role of multi-level governance and multi-stakeholder collaboration to strengthen the science-policy interface\, as well as to improve data systems and seek innovative solutions at all levels. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Special Event will create an opportunity for local and regional governments and their networks\, national governments\, and other stakeholders to exchange experiences and good practices of SDG 14 implementation at the local level. It will be a space for local and regional governments and other stakeholders to announce specific Ocean Action Commitments.
