SUMMARY:79th session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP)
DESCRIPTION:The seventy-ninth session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will be held from 15 to 19 May 2023 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. \nGuided by the theme “Accelerating climate action in Asia and the Pacific for sustainable development”\, the annual session will be an opportunity to strengthen regional cooperation on climate change. \nThe session will bring together Government leaders from across Asia and the Pacific and other key stakeholders to discuss policy options and areas of regional cooperation required to accelerate climate action in the region and beyond. With dedicated discussions on catalysing climate finance and investments\, complemented by a climate solutions fair\, the session will allow identifying opportunities\, sharing solutions and facilitate engagement of a broad set of partners and stakeholders\, to both reduce the risks and impacts of climate change and foster ambitious climate action in Asia and the Pacific towards net-zero pathways and limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. \nThe theme study sets out the transformations that are needed for Asia and the Pacific to transition to a net-zero-carbon future in support of sustainable development. It provides an outline of the regional context of climate change and identifies policies and actions that could be taken in various sectors of the economy to support the global climate agenda\, while also making broad economic\, social and environmental gains. To close the emissions gap in key sectors\, efforts must be made to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. Low-carbon mobility and logistical solutions are crucial for accelerating innovation\, developing technologies and tapping into greener fuels. The move towards low-carbon transport options requires an integrated approach to land use and urban planning\, as Asia and the Pacific is rapidly motorizing. Furthermore\, Governments need to boost their climate-smart trade and investment sectors so that they can decarbonize industries that are currently notable for exporting carbon-intensive goods. Trade and investment should be utilized as force multipliers to combat climate change but are still missing from the existing regional climate landscape. The theme study also contains information on climate-related financing needs in the region and addresses data gaps for better monitoring. Given the carbon neutrality commitments from the majority of Asia-Pacific countries\, the report recommends strengthening regional policy dialogue and technical cooperation on low carbon\, climate-resilient transition. \nCREDENTIALS AND REGISTRATION \nEach delegation is required to submit a letter of credentials\, duly signed by the appropriate authority of the respective Government or organization\, at the earliest convenience\, preferably by 11 May 2023 to oes.unescap@un.org. \nAll participants who appear in the letter of credentials are requested to register online at https://indico.un.org/event/1003482/ as soon as possible but no later than 11 May 2023. Only the names of duly accredited and registered participants will be included in the list of participants. \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:CS79 Side-event: Mine Action for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:The existence of landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERWs) because of protracted sequence of domestic and regional conflicts has for decades severely affected countries in the Asia and the Pacific\, resulting in thousands of casualties and injuries every year\, millions of internally displaced people and many more lives in danger. 21 countries in the region were identified as the affected countries\, although extent varied across countries. While efforts and commitments to clear landmines under Article 5 of the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) continue to be undertaken by countries and development partners\, few countries are on track to fulfil their obligations due to political\, geographical\, financial and capacity constraints.   \nLandmines undermine socio-economic development of the countries and livelihood of people in local communities. They refrain people from access to farming and pastoral lands\, trading\, housing\, and other necessary infrastructures\, presenting a great risk for local populations. They pose severe social consequences and considerable burdens on victims/survivors and their family\, including expenses on long-term medical care\, loss of employment\, poverty\, hunger\, discrimination\, and social stigma. The presence of mine contamination in agricultural lands and community environments also makes adapting to the negative impact of climate change largely difficult especially for the vulnerable groups in society. \nThese challenges around landmines have had a cross cutting impact\, affecting not only the country’s development but also its path towards achieving the SDGs as it hinders the economy from reaching its full potential. Against this background\, mine-clearing efforts and continued endeavours to address economic\, social and environmental consequences of landmines are key to building confidence\, in which people can live safely and freely from constraints\, and support inclusive\, resilient and sustainable development. \nThe session aims to raise awareness to a broader audience of the challenges and issues of demining and to engage in frank dialogue with experts and institutions on addressing the social and economic development impacts to communities and societies. The deliberations will also highlight the links between mine action and the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs   \nRepresentatives of Asia and the Pacific\, international and regional organizations\, national entities\, including non-governmental organizations\, private sector\, who are engaged in the activities related to mine action will participate. \nTo join\, please register here https://forms.office.com/e/rnVvudthLR and here https://indico.un.org/event/1003482/. \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:Sustainable Aerospace Together Forum 2023
DESCRIPTION:The race to decarbonize the aviation sector is intensifying as technologies evolve and net-zero targets draw nearer. Industry leaders and politicians are under growing pressure to increase efficiencies and align on the scale-up of low-emission solutions whilst maintaining safety\, commercial viability and growth. At least two-thirds of aviation’s carbon reduction is expected to come from sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). With SAF technology already proven\, incentives and mandates aimed at maximizing their capacity are crucial steps in the transition to non-fossil energy. Efforts are also focused on longer-term development and ways to tackle the challenges of electric and hydrogen propulsion. \nPolicymakers and the energy and finance sectors have a vital role in the new aviation economy. Cooperation\, innovation and investment are fundamental to eliminating climate impact\, especially given the complexity and capital-intensity of this hard-to-abate industry. Where are the opportunities to improve sustainability\, costs and efficiencies through collaboration and partnerships? What barriers stand in the way of the successful scale-up and commercialization of alternative aviation fuels? How can digital tools aid decision-making and development? \nThe Sustainable Aerospace Together Forum\, hosted by Boeing and FT Live\, will gather the aviation sector together with policy\, energy and finance leaders. The discussion will focus on the capabilities\, cooperation and solutions needed to align and ensure the industry reaches its decarbonization targets and business goals. \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:2023 Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on Sustainable Maritime Connectivity
DESCRIPTION:Maritime and port activities serve as a key enabler of all dimensions of sustainable development and of deeper regional integration due to their vital role as the gateway for international trade. Despite the diversity of Asia and the Pacific region\, which includes coastal countries\, small island developing States or archipelago countries\, there are several common issues that they all should consider in establishing their maritime and port development policies\, such as supporting the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda\, achieving the greenhouse gas reduction targets\, promoting technological innovation in the shipping and port industries and collaborating with the private sector to improve shipping performance. \nRegular sharing of best practices and experiences on these and related issues can contribute to promoting better maritime transport connectivity as well as stimulating collective action for achieving SDGs. In recognition of this\, the Regional Action Programme for Sustainable Transport Development in Asia and the Pacific (2022–2026)\, adopted at the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Transport in Bangkok in December 2021\, includes a systematic regional dialogue on sustainable and resilient maritime connectivity\, including the promotion of the development of low- and zero-emissions green shipping for Asia and the Pacific in close partnership with global and regional actors and the shipping industry. \nThe 2023 edition of the Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on Sustainable Maritime Connectivity will be held in Bangkok\, Thailand and online on 30-31 May 2023. The event will bring together experts from the member countries and relevant organizations to engage on a wider array of issues relevant for strengthening and enhancing maritime connectivity in Asia and the Pacific\, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. \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:Nature’s Frontiers: Achieving Sustainability\, Efficiency\, and Prosperity with Natural Capital
DESCRIPTION:Nearly all types of natural capital—the world’s stock of resources provided by nature—are in decline. The ecosystem services that flow from those natural capital assets – such as fertile soils for crops\, rich ocean life supporting tourism and productive fisheries\, and dense forests for carbon capture – are necessary for life on Earth. \nRecognizing the essential services provided by natural capital\, Nature’s Frontiers: Achieving Sustainability\, Efficiency\, and Prosperity with Natural Capital proposes a novel approach to address these foundational challenges of sustainability. A methodology combining innovative science\, new data sources\, and cutting-edge biophysical and economic models builds sustainable resource efficiency frontiers to assess how countries can sustainably use their natural capital in more efficient ways. The analysis provides recommendations on how countries can better utilize their natural capital to achieve their economic and environmental goals. \nJoin for a presentation from the authors and a panel discussion on the country-level applications of this work. \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:World Bank Tokyo Online Morning Seminar #172 “The Effect of Multinational Enterprises on Climate Change: Supply Chain Emissions\, Green Technology Transfers\, and Corporate Commitments”
DESCRIPTION:Multinational enterprises (MNEs) provide both a fundamental risk to and an opportunity for climate change mitigation. The climate ambitions of MNEs will affect the environmental performance of countries around the world. As a leading actor\, proactive MNEs can impose sustainability standards or encourage green technology transfers that\, in some cases\, could affect millions of producers and accelerate the climate transition. However\, obstructive MNEs may equally hold back any progress to reduce a country’s emissions via inaction or by actively resisting\, obstructing\, or lobbying against change. It is critical for policymakers around the world to consider the role that MNEs play in climate change mitigation strategies\, monitor their current commitment to transition their supply chains to net-zero emissions by 2050\, and adopt the necessary measures to accelerate this transition. To guide this endeavor\, the World Bank\, in partnership with CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) have developed a new report “The Effect of Multinational Enterprises on Climate Change: Supply Chain Emissions\, Green Technology Transfers\, and Corporate Commitments” that provides insights into MNEs’ impact on climate change. \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:DAVOS 2024 | World Economic Forum
DESCRIPTION:People\, societies and companies face the reality of a world in transformation. In addition to the seemingly endless supply of shocks\, with the tragic violence in the Middle East being the most recent\, deep structural shifts are clearly afoot from geoeconomics to climate change to artificial intelligence. Given this level of uncertainty and the high stakes involved\, there is a clear need to move past the diagnosis of challenges firmly towards solutions. \n\n\nWith trust eroding\, long-term visions may be too abstract to rally around\, while merely focusing on responses to current shocks will leave everyone vulnerable to the transformations at hand. What is needed are new and upgraded platforms for dialogue\, stronger partnerships\, agile policy frameworks and effective deployment of technologies that can lead to practical and implementable gains for societies across both short-term and strategic horizons. \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:ACCELERATING DECARBONIZATION ACROSS INDUSTRIES IN THE US
DESCRIPTION:How can collaboration and digitalization drive the infrastructure transition?\n\n\nWebinar | Thursday April 11 | 13:00 – 13:50 ET\n\n\n\nThe adoption of sustainable practices and processes is increasingly viewed as a competitive advantage as well as an environmental and social responsibility. Leaders across industries are working to adapt their business models and accelerate the transition to net zero. However\, executives’ confidence in achieving decarbonization targets is low. According to Siemens’ Infrastructure Transition Monitor research carried out by FT Longitude\, only 15% of respondents believe they are very likely to reach their emission goals for the year ahead. \nIn addition\, some of the sectors that are aiding the shift away from fossil fuels\, including battery and semiconductor production\, and EV manufacturing and charging\, are actually contributing to the pressure on infrastructure and electricity supply. Digital technologies\, such as AI capabilities\, are accelerating positive change\, yet the rapid expansion of data centers is also increasing power demand. The IEA estimates that power consumption at data facilities makes up 1-1.5% of overall global energy use. \nNo one entity can meet corporate sustainability commitments alone; it takes an ecosystem of energy-intensive industries\, utilities and technology partners working together to reach a solution. \nThis panel on Accelerating Decarbonization Across Industries in the US\, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Siemens\, is for corporate leaders working on emissions reduction and business growth. The discussion will consider how to work together across industries to find effective ways to utilize technology in order to speed up the infrastructure transition and reach sustainability goals. \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. Our desk monitors daily developments from the SEC\, IFRS\, CSRD and international regulatory bodies to ensure our 1M+ readers receive accurate\, data-driven insights into the evolving sustainable investment landscape.
