LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO MAXIMISE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
2022-06-30 09:00 - 11:00 | Virtual Event
Using Technology to Drive Success and Social Impact

The increased digitalisation during the past few years, accelerated by Covid-19, has given many organisations a foundation for long-term growth. However, as attention now shifts beyond the pressures of operating in a pandemic ridden economy, organisations must focus on the next evolution of their business model to ensure they can deliver value to customers and succeed for years to come. In this panel, you will discover how organisations can deploy and use technology in the most effective way, closely aligned to their latest business drivers and any potential weaknesses.

Rising to the Challenge of a Sustainability-Conscious World

Employees and customers are now more socially and environmentally conscious than ever and expect these values to be reflected by both their employers and the organisations they turn to for products and services. This panel will take you through how companies are working to evolve their operational models to meet these new internal and external expectations while also ensuring they are set up to enjoy sustainable growth.

Background

The lingering COVID-19 pandemic and the disruptions from the Ukraine crises in the short term and the looming climate crisis in the long term are challenging our ability to achieve the SDGs. 2022 will be a critical year for the 2030 Agenda to relaunch implementation efforts on an accelerated path toward the future we want.

Against this backdrop, the 2022 High-level Political Forum (HLPF) will conduct in-depth reviews of the progress made around SDG 4 on quality education, SDG 5 on gender equality, SDG 14 on life below water, SDG 15 on life on land, and SDG 17 on partnerships for the Goals – all goals which sit at the heart of efforts to realize the transition toward a more equitable and nature-positive world.

Jointly convened by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) at 2022 HLPF, this special event will bring together business leaders and sustainable development champions for an engaging virtual dialogue to explore the commitments that leading companies are now making to drive progress to tackle inequality and arrest nature loss in order to put us on course for a world where everyone can live well, within planetary boundaries.

Can we find innovative solutions that grapple with the complexities ingrained within our environment and implanted deep within our society? Investigate the latest developments in governance from global thought leaders, and catalyse new ideas as we all work towards a sustainable future.

Join us for a globally interactive conversation about ESG, Sustainability and beyond – what we do now affects our future.

Overview

Sustainability in the face of increasing climate change risk: What, practically speaking, does that mean for the corporate world? For manufacturing, chemical, materials and process companies, it means transforming to low-emissions methods and technologies – and exploiting the growth of renewable energy to power this transformation. For other corporate enterprises it also means adaptation – leveraging computation and communications technologies for better forecasting, resilience and risk mitigation.

Day 1 of this event will showcase bold, innovative faculty, impactful MIT research programs and disruptive startups all working to decarbonize industrial processes and improve resilience. Building on this, Day 2 will feature a morning of workshops to engage more deeply with several leading MIT centers who are dedicated to solving industrial sustainability challenges in water, plastics, aviation and setting GHG emissions targets.

ESG: Unlocking Impact Through Education #UNGA77
2022-09-21 12:00 - 13:30 | New York City, Midtown East, New York, New York, United States
A new approach to ESG and Corporate Social Responsibility

This event is open to ESG, social impact, corporate philanthropy and sustainability professionals.

Evidence 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.

Companies 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.

The 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.

The Africa Higher Education Centers of Excellence: A Pathway towards Sustainable Development - High-Level Meetings with Partners
2022-10-17 09:00 - 2022-10-18 16:30 | World Bank Headquarters in Washington, D.C., 1818 H St NW, Washington, District of Columbia, 20433, United States
Background

The Africa Centers of Excellence project (ACEs) is the first large scale regional program funded by the World Bank in the higher education sector in Africa. It addresses higher-level skills development needs and innovative research requirements for the continent’s priority development sectors in five main areas: science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); agriculture; health; environment; applied social science and education. Since its start in 2014, the program has supported over 80 centers in more than 50 universities across 20 countries across the continent. Under the program, thousands of students –more than one third of whom are female– are enrolled in postgraduate programs geared towards international standards in delivering quality training and regional specializations that are helping to fulfill labor market demands on the continent. The ACEs are undertaking high impact research that are addressing some of the region’s most pressing development challenges such as food insecurity, climate change and infectious diseases.

In 2019, in order to increase the impact of existing ACEs and extend the program to more centers, the World Bank, together with the French Development Agency, launched the third phase of the program: the “ACE for Development Impact project, ACE-Impact”. A total of 53 centers in 35 universities across 11 countries –Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo—participate in the ACE-Impact project to improve and accelerate the quality, quantity and development impact of postgraduate education. These ACEs have developed strong partnerships with universities and industries locally, regionally and all over the world, helping to generate support for student’s research programs, offering internships, and facilitating their access to the job market. The ACEs are playing a key role in increasing the number of sciences graduates needed to support Africa’s fast-growing economy.

About the event

In collaboration with the French Development Agency, AFD (co-financier of ACE-Impact), the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development, IRD (facilitating ACEs’ regional networks), and the Association of African Universities, AAU (ACE-Impact Regional Facilitation Unit), the World Bank is organizing a two-day high-level event under the theme: “The Africa Higher Education Centers of Excellence: A Pathway towards Sustainable Development”. The event will take place at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC, on October 17 and 18, 2022, and will bring together the ACEs and the most influential decision makers in the development space to discuss the centers’ innovations and best practices at both national and regional levels, as well as their challenges and opportunities. Following the high-level event, the ACEs will travel on October 20 and 21, 2022 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University for peer-learning and partnership opportunities.

Navigating Energy Pathways for Climate Ambition: The implications of 1.5°C scenarios for Paris-aligned energy transitions
2022-10-24 11:30 - 12:30 | Virtual Event
Energy scenarios have a key role to play in guiding the energy system transformation needed to meet the 1.5°C temperature limit under the Paris Agreement. These scenarios can influence investor expectations and policy decisions.

A new IISD report aims to provide policy-makers, investors, and companies with information on how to align energy decision-making with Paris Agreement goals. It conducts an unprecedented analysis of the most influential modelled pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. The research shows a high level of agreement among these scenarios with implications for the phase-out of oil and gas and the ramp-up of clean energy deployment and investment.

The webinar will provide a first look at the key findings from this authoritative report highlighting the implications of 1.5°C scenarios for fossil fuel phase-out and renewables scale-up, barriers to those transitions and solutions to such challenges, and tools for governments and financial institutions to navigate the current energy crisis while maintaining climate ambition.

Panellists from intergovernmental organizations and the scientific community will reflect on the key findings of the report and discuss its implications for energy decision-making.

2022-11-02 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual Event
Shaping sustainable retail and consumer-goods ecosystems: impact beyond organisations

Companies have talked about sustainability for decades, but the need for immediate action has never been stronger. Scaling sustainability efforts is not something one company can do alone. Action among your peers, partners and supply chain, and in the communities where you work to create mutual value, is a critical imperative. But to deliver a sustainable future, businesses must work not only together but also with governments, non-governmental organisations and consumers. Sustainability goals can only be achieved through collective action and collaboration.

Join this session to find out how collaboration can drive sustainable ecosystems that will ensure businesses, people and the planet thrive. We’ll be exploring:

How can collective action on sustainability unlock financial value?How can technology help deliver sustainability initiatives more effectively? What concrete examples are there?Where in your extended ecosystem will sustainable collaboration be most effective?How can regulators become part of your ecosystem and sustainability solutions?
