SUMMARY:2023 SDG Summit
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 SDG Summit will take place on 18-19 September 2023 in New York. It will mark the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030. \nConvened by the President of the General Assembly\, the Summit will mark the half-way point to the deadline set for achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. It will be the centerpiece of the High-level Week of the General Assembly. It will respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world and is expected to reignite a sense of hope\, optimism\, and enthusiasm for the 2030 Agenda. \nREGISTRATION \nBackground\nThe 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a global plan of action to drive economic prosperity and social well-being while protecting the environment. 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. The outcome of the Summit will be a negotiated political declaration. \nQuick Links:\n\n2030 Agenda\nSustainable Development Goals\nHigh-level Political Forum (HLPF)\nSDG Summit 2019\nVoluntary National Reviews\nGlobal Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)\nInputs to the High-level Political Forum\nFinancing for Development Forum\nMulti-stakeholder Forum on Science\, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs\nDecade of Action\nSDG Advocates & Champions\nGoal of the Month\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Climate Week NYC
DESCRIPTION:Climate Week NYC is the largest annual climate event of its kind\, bringing together some 400 events and activities across the City of New York – in person\, hybrid and online. Each year\, business leaders\, political change makers\, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds\, from all over the world\, gather to drive the transition\, speed up progress\, and champion change that is already happening. \nClimate Week NYC is hosted by Climate Group\, an international non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate action\, fast. Climate Group hosts the official program during the week that brings together the most senior international figures from business\, government\, civil society and the climate sector. \nThis year Climate Week NYC will be held from September 17-24\, 2023. The event takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York. \nMain events taking place\nThis year Climate Week NYC is presenting a full program of some 400 events and activities in New York City. For those unable to attend in-person\, we’ll be streaming key sessions throughout the week. Wholly digital events will also be included in Climate Week NYC’s Events program. \nThe Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony is the most high-profile moment of the week. Taking place on Sunday\, September 17\, the event will feature major announcements\, discussions\, and interviews with international leadership from business\, government\, and the climate community. Recent speakers include Prince Charles\, Tim Cook\, Jacinda Adern\, the Hon. Chris Bowen\, Kristalina Georgieva\, Kathy Hochul\, and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. \nThis year the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony will tackle three key questions: \n\nClimate action is not moving fast enough across the globe and those in positions of power have a responsibility to act without delay. Where must investment be channelled\, and what vested interests need to be held accountable?\nWe have made huge strides evidenced by the billions committed by the US\, China and the EU boost green technology and energy security. We know we have the solutions to the climate crisis. But how do we ensure they are implemented?\nWhere have we picked up our biggest wins so far and how can we use the collective will of the climate community to remain inspired\, stay the course and continue to drive climate action\, fast?\n\nOn Monday and Tuesday\, September 18 and 19\, 2023\, Climate Group hosts The Hub Live. Bringing together more than 1\,000 of the most influential leaders from business\, government\, and the climate sector\, The Hub Live hosts a series of sessions addressing key themes which will be shared at a later date. \nThe theme is We Can. We Will\nThe theme reflects determination\, focus\, but also a hopeful promise\, and a call to action to do it together. It touches upon the action we need to take now\, but also the need to look ahead and explore new opportunities. \nWe’ve seen some promising wins when it comes to renewables and financing\, but we can’t rest on our laurels. We’re entering a new phase where we need to look at what comes next: tripling clean investments\, finding new solutions\, taking concrete action\, exploring new opportunities and solutions\, and breaking down barriers together. \nWe expect this year’s Climate Week NYC to be even bigger than 2022\, which was the most impactful\, ambitious\, and far-reaching one to date. Business leaders\, political change makers\, local decision takers and civil society representatives are set to use the week as a rallying call for the meaningful contributions still needed to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and to be on a path to net-zero by 2050. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:High-Quality\, Transparency & Control: Investing in Carbon Credits Before they've Entered the Market
DESCRIPTION:There is currently a limited supply of high-quality credits in the spot market. \nEarth observation data is enabling a new generation of high-quality\, nature-based projects that give buyers the opportunity to confidently invest in developing projects\, before credits have even hit the market. \nInvesting in these projects gives buyers more control of securing credits that will deliver real climate impact. \n\n\n\n\nThe spot market vs pre-issuance credits – the differences and opportunities\n\n\n\nWhy investing in early-stage projects means greater confidence for buyers\n\n\n\nFinancing projects upfront – the economic and environmental upside\n\n\n\nReducing reputational risk with better quality credits\n\n\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists
DESCRIPTION:The demand for seasoned talent in the ESG strategy space is rapidly increasing. Global corporations’ strategists and consultants are accelerating the buildout of their ESG practices on sound business grounds\, but those brought in to implement such significant business transformation are often working from an inherent deficit. They must rise above the rhetoric and lofty promises of their firms to quickly effect concrete change that delivers tangible value. \nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists equips corporate strategists\, consultants\, business development leads\, and other cross-functional leaders with the practically relevant research and tools to lead ESG strategy integration — from project valuation to ESG risk and opportunity assessment\, from data adoption best practices to team deployment and project management. The program focuses on the myriad risks and opportunities associated with the climate transition; broader environmental risks; diversity\, equity\, and inclusion; socio-political risk; and shareholder activism\, then concentrates on the skills needed for strategy execution — corporate political activity\, organizational change\, and systems and processes analysis. \nProgram Experience\nHighlights and Key Outcomes\nIn Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists\, you will: \n\nDevelop a rigorous foundation for integrating ESG factors into strategic analysis\nAnalyze the efficacy of strategic responses to ESG risks and opportunities\nImprove ESG communications\, disclosure\, and data systems\nBuild integrated project plans and dashboards encompassing ESG factors\nEffectively engage stakeholders in the most complex and conflictual stakeholder environments\n\nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists is comprised of one month of introductory content (Wharton ESG Essentials) immediately followed by an additional month of specialized strategy content. This advanced certificate is designed to quickly catapult corporate leaders to the forefront of ongoing ESG decision making\, empowering them to act as informed\, prepared catalysts for change amid urgent and complex constraints and opportunities. \n\nBlended Online Program Structure\nThis program’s blended format is designed to produce maximum\, immediate impact for the busy executive. Participants will join live online sessions for two hours once a week over eight weeks. Sessions will be led by award-winning\, tenured Wharton faculty who are pioneering academic research and leading the dialogue in the rapidly evolving ESG field. \nBroadcasted and facilitated live from a technologically advanced classroom\, the program prioritizes live engagement and employs a host of instructional modalities to enhance the learning experience: in-class discussions\, case work\, small-group breakout sessions\, role playing and several competitive and engaging simulations. In addition\, participants will work through self-paced content at their convenience in between live sessions. \n\nProgram Details:\nEvery Wednesday for four consecutive weeks in September\n2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT \n\nDay 1: September 6\nDay 2: September 13\nDay 3: September 20\nDay 4: September 27\n\nAND \nEvery Tuesdays for four consecutive weeks in October\n2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT \n\nDay 5: October 3\nDay 6: October 10\nDay 7: October 17\nDay 8: October 24\n\n\nExperience and Impact\nIn Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists\, you will build on the knowledge in Wharton ESG Essentials to learn how to formulate\, advocate for\, and implement strategies that address ESG factors. \nThe program presents an overview of the climate transition’s impact on corporate strategy\, including the risks from both the physical effects of climate change as well as the regulatory responses to facilitate the transition to a net-zero economy. Participants will analyze how these and other environmental risks influence corporate strategy and what tools and resources are available to reduce risk exposure. Participants will also gain perspective on the green technology and innovation sector – where cost curves are rapidly evolving and leading to non-linear dynamics that threaten to sunset some industries and give birth to new ones. \nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Strategists additionally arms participants with data-backed tools to manage the nuance of ESG strategy. Participants will engage in issue and stakeholder mapping\, learning how to integrate pertinent data into usable and accessible dashboards. They will also look at best practices in managing stakeholder relationships — particularly from the strategists’ unique position working cross-departmentally\, as well as toggling between internal and external stakeholders and managing deep-seated conflicts between their stakeholders. \nSession topics include: \n\nSustainability Strategy\nClimate Strategy\nGeo-Strategy\nStakeholder Engagement Strategy\n\n\nThose interested in learning more about Wharton ESG Essentials\, or additional specialized certificates\, can visit here. \nParticipants who have successfully completed Wharton ESG Essentials as a standalone program can apply for and enroll in a certificate track within one year of Essentials completion. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals
DESCRIPTION:$35 trillion dollars of assets under management claim inclusion of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment strategies.

The result is a powerful\, actionable toolkit for investment professionals to implement\, measure\, model\, and optimize ESG-asset integration in their portfolios for sustained value generation. \nProgram Experience\nHighlights and Key Outcomes\nIn the Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals program\, you will: \n\nEnhance your ability to integrate ESG factors into diverse investment strategies across asset classes\nIdentify climate leaders and laggards across industries and those poised to seize transition opportunities\nUnderstand how complex regulations give rise to financial markets for carbon and renewable energy certificates\, and how this impacts the profitability of various industries\nAnalyze financial implications of different political risks and future scenarios from geopolitical to national to local levels\nAnticipate ESG shareholder activism and engagement as well as their impacts\n\nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals is comprised of one month of introductory content (Wharton ESG Essentials) immediately followed by an additional month of specialized investing content.

The program will examine perspectives on the green technology and innovation sector\, where cost curves are rapidly evolving\, threatening to sunset some industries while accelerating the growth of new ones. And you will learn to map green supply chains to see the bottlenecks that will generate short-term inflationary pressures and medium- to long-term investment opportunities. You will also learn about the rapidly growing market for green bonds and what they can and can’t offer in terms of impact. \nThe program will also explore geopolitical scenarios for the world economy over the next decade and their implications for portfolio construction. And from a governance standpoint\, you will learn about the risk factors that make some firms more likely to face shareholder activism and less capable or successful in their response.

SUMMARY:8th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum)
DESCRIPTION:Considered Asia-Pacific’s largest and longest-standing gathering of adaptation practitioners to share information\, knowledge and best practices in adaptation and resilience-building\, the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum) is the biennial flagship event of the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN) Secretariat\, hosted within the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. \nThe APAN Forum serves as a primary regional platform for adaptation practitioners to meet\, exchange knowledge and experiences\, and collaborate towards the pertinent outcomes and practical solutions that are needed to address the challenges of climate change. \nThe 8th APAN Forum will take place in-person from 30 August (Wednesday) to 1 September (Friday) during the Korea Global Adaptation Week (KGAW) 2023. It will be hosted by the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea\, the Korea Environment Institute – Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change and Incheon Metropolitan City\, and co-organised by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the UNEP through the APAN Secretariat. \nObjectives \nThe APAN Forum aims to: \n\nEnhance understanding of climate change adaptation issues\, approaches\, and policies for effective planning;\nProvide a comprehensive report on actions taken and progress made to address knowledge\, policy\, and funding gaps since the last APAN Forum;\nServe as a platform for accelerating action and implementing adaptation knowledge and programmes\, offering actionable guidelines for communities\, practitioners\, and policymakers;\nFormulate recommendations to expand adaptation efforts in the Asia-Pacific region\, guiding contributions to COPs and other global/regional initiatives; and\,\nPromote climate change adaptation and resilience through knowledge sharing\, collaboration\, and amplification of messages from local to global levels.\n\nForum Theme \nResilience for All: Enabling transformative implementation \nOver the past two decades\, Resilience has served as a unifying theme for the APAN Forums. The past years have seen significant efforts towards generating knowledge and information on climate change adaptation at the global and regional levels. However\, we are still significantly off-schedule to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and the world is in a state of climate emergency. The current climate change impacts are evident and disruptive in sectors like agriculture\, ecosystems\, human health\, urban settlements and infrastructure. \nTherefore\, this year’s theme underscores the urgency of adaptation action that is required to build resilience and equip communities with the capacity to withstand and moderate worst-case climate scenarios. It is also in line with the key outcomes of COP 27\, further emphasising the importance of transformative approach to accelerating and enhancing adaptation efforts. \nTarget Participants \nRepresentatives from governments\, financing institutions\, academia and research\, international organisations\, UN agencies\, civil society organisations\, youth organisations and the private sector\, among others\, will participate in the 8th APAN Forum to work together to build and strengthen partnerships across sectors for adaptation action. The Forum will also provide a space to reflect on the outcomes of COP 27\, and to highlight regional lessons learned. These will serve as inputs for the discussions at COP 28\, which is to be held at the Expo City\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates in November 2023. \n  \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:ESG: Dispatch from the Front Lines of Accountable Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors have captured the attention of trillions of dollars of capital\, engaged thousands of consultants\, and become a top strategic concern in the C-suite and board rooms. However\, over the past 18 months\, a countermovement has challenged the efforts to value ESG factors and incorporate them into strategic initiatives\, claiming that such efforts are “woke” and antithetical to free markets. This countermovement has culminated in seven separate Congressional hearings in Washington\, DC in July 2023\, challenging various aspects of ESG integration. Yet\, at the same time\, EU ESG disclosure regulation continues to expand and investor and corporate interest in ESG factors remains strong. \nIn this LinkedIn Live Session\, three leaders in ESG integration – across financial services\, consulting\, and corporate – will join Wharton professors to discuss their perspectives on the current battle of ideas\, dollars\, and action. Join us to learn the latest actionable insights from the front lines of accountable capitalism. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:ESG Portfolio Management: Optimizing Opportunities & Performance
DESCRIPTION:More investment portfolio managers are recognizing that ESG factors can have a material impact on a company’s long-term financial performance. Companies with strong ESG practices may be better positioned to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities\, while those with weak ESG practices may face reputational and regulatory risks that could negatively impact financial performance. \nInstitutional investors are also under increasing pressure from stakeholders to consider ESG factors in investment decisions. As a result\, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become an important consideration and essential component of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. However\, implementing this strategy is a considerable undertaking\, with significant challenges including alignment of ESG priorities\, tedious manual data collection processes\, and insufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance. \nWe invite you to join Archer and BPM for this webinar to learn about:\n• Current developments\, roadblocks\, and upside potential of ESG portfolio management\n• Optimal approach for portfolio management companies to build and sustain an ESG program\n• How Archer can enhance ESG performance management and reporting practices for optimized management decision-making \nLiam Marais
