SUMMARY:COP15 - Call for Financing Nature for Sustainable Cities and Regions
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCities are on the frontline of managing the direct socio-economic impacts of climate change and ecosystem loss. Today\, 4.4 billion people live in cities\, and 1.4 billion of these people already face high climate risks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRestoring and protecting nature is fundamental to addressing the impacts of climate change\, bringing multiple benefits not only to ecosystems but also to the health and well-being of urban citizens and the economy. Urban nature-based solutions are both critical and feasible steps that cities can initiate right now to contribute to global biodiversity goals and increase resilience to local environmental risks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut to unleash the power of nature in cities\, investments need to grow rapidly. In this press conference\, champion Mayors from around the world will deliver a call for increased financing for nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based approaches in cities and regions\, on behalf of 15 champion cities. A new UNEP project to support them will be announced. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UNEP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Navigating Climate Credit Risk: Insights from NGFS III for Corporates
DESCRIPTION:Network for Greening of the Financial System (NGFS) climate scenarios have become a financial industry standard. We employ their latest iteration to illustrate the impact on the corporate PD projections from the Moody’s Climate Adjusted Expected Default Frequency model. The model links global and sectoral dynamics with physical risk assessment and emissions at the company level. \nModelling challenges include combining physical risk across climate hazards as well as deriving firm-level metrics from the transition risk implied sectoral pathways.\nRegulators across the globe require usage of different Integrated Assessment Models to characterize transition risk. Our modular approach enables us to quantify the impact of these modelling choices. \n\nClimate Adjusted Corporate PD Modelin a nutshell\nNGFS Scenarios’ Evolution: Net Zero and Nationally Determined Contributions imply lower emissions\n Conceptual challenges for physical risk scoring\n From sectors to the firm level: Moody’s Transition Risk Oligopoly Model\n Does the used IAM matter? GCAM vs REMIND\n What’s next in the climate credit risk modelling\n\n\n\n\nMatt Bird\n\n\nMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Diversity in Finance Awards 2023
DESCRIPTION:FTAdviser’s Diversity in Finance Awards\, now in their fifth year\, aim to showcase the best initiatives\, campaigns and success stories over the past 12 months when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the financial services sector. \nDiversity and inclusion is not a corporate catchphrase but an organisational imperative in today’s workplace. It is clear that diversity and inclusion in the workplace lead to increased innovation\, better opportunities for all and improved business performance\, while companies that fail to capture and nurture this talent are missing out on opportunities to enhance their business model. \nThe Diversity in Finance Awards have been designed to celebrate individuals in financial services and UK financial services companies who have taken active steps towards a more inclusive\, diverse and fair industry that works better for all stakeholders: colleagues\, customers and the community. \nAwards will be given to those individuals who have demonstrated their support for minority groups and their tireless efforts to promote and inspire those who are otherwise under-represented\, as well as recognising companies whose policies\, schemes or initiatives encourage and enable diversity in the workplace. \nThis is an opportunity for FCA-regulated\, UK-based companies\, large and small\, to show how they are getting it right\, and for employees to gain the recognition they deserve. \nTo view the 2023 shortlist\, click here. \nThe winners will be revealed on 22 June 2023 during the Awards Ceremony at The Biltmore Mayfair in London. \n\n\n\nMatt Bird\n\n\nMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
