Managing the Carbon Footprint of Government Facilities
2023-07-27 12:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual Event
Carbon emissions from buildings and facilities are estimated to be responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions, posing a challenging timeline for these properties to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. How can you better estimate the current carbon emissions and also devise a comprehensive plan to update the buildings and facilities to be more energy efficient towards the net zero goal by 2050? What electrification options are most cost and time effective for the building type and what does that mean for carbon emissions? We will discuss:

Transition risk analysis and cost estimation
Scenario analysis and mitigation options
Case studies

How ISO standards and guidelines can solve your ESG reporting and data challenges
2023-07-26 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual Event
Most companies are coming to terms with the fact that ESG reporting is increasing exponentially, with more and more countries mandating some form of reporting. Mandatory ESG reporting requirements now extend well beyond detailing greenhouse gas emissions, and include disclosure of other key environmental issues, safety, human rights, modern-day slavery, supply chain and overall third-party due diligence, among other topics.
While reporting is a challenge, it is not the solution. The solution is building programmes to address these critical areas in your materiality assessment and using those programmes to develop ready-made data that can be easily turned into ESG reports required by regulators.
In this 30-minute webinar, Speeki’s CEO Scott Lane will take you on a journey of ESG and sustainability. He will explain how already existing management system standards can help you run your programmes as one integrated management system that can meet available reporting requirements from all known jurisdictions.
You will be introduced to:

the steps beyond a materiality assessment and how to turn important areas into a management system
how to identify the available management systems that you can use
how to quickly and easily migrate your existing initiatives into a management system
how an integrated system can save you time and effort in managing separate issues
how an integrated system can help solve the data challenges that come with ESG reporting.

Financing Industry Decarbonization For Just Transition
2023-07-22 05:30 - 07:00 | Virtual Event
The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) is delighted to co-host with LeadIT and the Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI) this official side event of the 14th Clean Industry Ministerial and the 8th Mission Innovation (MI-8), in Goa, India. Narrowing the financing gap for deep decarbonization efforts in hard-to-abate sectors (For example, iron and steel, cement and aluminum, pulp and paper, chemicals, shipping) is essential to helping developing countries make a just transition to zero-carbon growth paths. Equally, it is critical to channel concessional resources where they can be most effective and provide a transformational effect that can lead to replication and scaled up investments across the developing world.
This event will explore enhanced coordination and targeted finance amongst partners and initiatives to maximize development impact. In addition, it will convene government, industry, and multilateral development banks to discuss where concessional resources can be channeled in support of industry decarbonization globally.

World Bank Tokyo Online Morning Seminar #172 “The Effect of Multinational Enterprises on Climate Change: Supply Chain Emissions, Green Technology Transfers, and Corporate Commitments”
2023-07-20 19:00 | Virtual Event
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.

Fourth Global Conference on Strengthening Synergies between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
2023-07-16 10:00 - 16:30 | United Nations New York Headquarters, 405 E 42nd St, New York, NY, 10017, United States
Background

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement are intrinsically linked, and one cannot be achieved without the other. In the same spirit, the Secretary-General in a recent address on his 2023 priorities stressed that “Climate action is the 21st century’s greatest opportunity to drive forward all the Sustainable Development Goals.” As such, maximizing on the interlinkages between the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement by leveraging climate action and SDG synergies has the potential of achieving both agendas faster, while ensuring a just and equitable future.
Integrated planning, coherent policies, and economic stimulus investments designed to meet both the SDGs and climate challenges can generate significant co-benefits and speed up progress. Research has shown that aligning actions on climate and SDGs globally can yield up to US$26 trillion before 2030 in economic gains, produce over 65 million new green jobs, and save approximately 7 million premature deaths per year. With concerted and coordinated global public and private collaborative efforts, achievement of all SDGs can be advanced, trade-offs avoided, and social disparities reduced.

FOURTH GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE AND SDG SYNERGIES

The Fourth Global Climate and SDG Synergy Conference is convened by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Conference is conducted in association with the 2023 HLPF. It thus also provides delegations the opportunity to reflect their on-going review of progress on achieving the SDGs, notably SDGs 6, 7, 9, 11, and 17, in a wider context of the multiple interlinkages between these goals and global climate action. The Conference will take stock of progress on synergistic action at all levels. It will also shed light on some of key findings and messages from the work of the Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergies. More specifically, the Fourth Global Conference on Climate and SDD Synergies will deliver:

A forward-looking summary, with a set of key recommendations for enhancing synergistic implementation of the SDGs and climate action at the political level as well as practical levels.
A set of empirical evidence on climate action and the SDGs co-benefits, including how various stakeholders are progressing in delivering jointly on these two agendas and transitioning towards just, equitable, and climate compatible pathways.

Nature’s Frontiers: Achieving Sustainability, Efficiency, and Prosperity with Natural Capital
2023-06-30 12:00 - 14:00 | Virtual Event
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.
Recognizing 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.
Join for a presentation from the authors and a panel discussion on the country-level applications of this work.

Investing with Nature: Deep dive on nature-based solutions in freshwater ecosystems
2023-06-27 08:00 - 09:30 | Virtual Event
Freshwater is not only indispensable for wildlife, people and planet, it is also the habit of a wide variety of fish, plant and crustacean species. The freshwater ecosystem comprises of lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, springs, bogs and wetlands, and provides transport routes, hydropower, irrigation and drinking water, as well as a wide range of other ecosystem services such as recreation, landscape and biodiversity. Moreover, it also helps prevent erosion, dispose of waste and provides natural protection from flooding.
However, threats such as pollution, climate change, water-related diseases as well as harmful human activities are putting the freshwater ecosystem in danger, therefore posing significant risks to animals, the environment, humans and the economy. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be a cost-effective method to optimize the economic potential of the ecosystem, while enhancing its services and preserving biodiversity. For example, in the case of freshwater ecosystems, NbS can help build resilience against floods, combat climate change and support people’s health via clean water.
The third deep dive session of the new “Investing in Nature: Exploring Investment Opportunities Across Ecosystems” webinar series – funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH – will explain the importance of water in nature and practical ways to invest in freshwater as a nature-based solution. The panel discussion will focus on the experiences and perspectives of private and civil society actors investing in freshwater-related nature-based solutions.
