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.

The meeting will be conducted in English language only. \nAchieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to well below 2 degree C compared to pre-industrial levels will require rapid decarbonization across all sectors including the transport sector. Transitioning to electric mobility in public transport is one of the policy options to reduce vehicle emissions and dependence on fossil fuel for transport operations. Furthermore\, electric mobility\, improvement of public transport and shifts to renewable energy sources are some of the key transport strategies listed in the nationally determined contributions of Asian countries. \nThe objective of the meeting is to share international\, regional\, and national experiences on transitioning to electric mobility and to raise awareness and enhance capacity of key stakeholders on the development of national policy frameworks on electric mobility. A series of policy-oriented reports on e-mobility in public transport commissioned by ESCAP such as a step-by-step guideline\, case studies on operation of electric buses and the Asia-Pacific Initiative on Electric Mobility will be disseminated. The meeting aims to foster greater collaboration among e-mobility stakeholders from both the public and private sectors in the region. \nParticipants from the Asia-Pacific region\, representatives of development partners and international and regional experts on electric mobility are expected to attend the meeting. \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: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\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:Multinational Enterprises and Climate Change: Fundamental Risks and Big Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This event aims to present the findings of a new report: “The effect of multinational enterprises on climate change: supply chain emissions\, green technology transfers\, and corporate commitments.” This report brings together the latest available data\, analysis and literature to answer four key questions related to the relationship between MNEs and climate change: \n(1)    What effect do MNEs currently have on climate change\, through their own activities and through their broader supply chains? \n(2)    How do MNEs shape the potential transfer of “green” technology transfers to domestic firms? \n(3)    How committed are leading MNEs currently to transition their supply chains to net-zero emissions by 2050? \n(4)    What types of policies can influence multinational enterprises’ effect on climate change? \nThe event will further discuss what more countries can and should do to shape the behaviors of MNEs as part of their climate change mitigation plans. For this\, there will be an active discussion that will include a representative of a multinational enterprise with an active commitment towards sustainable development\, and Amir Sokolowski\, the Global Director Climate Change\, at CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project)\, which is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors\, companies\, cities\, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. \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:Reshaping the Green Iron and Steel Value Chain
DESCRIPTION:Green steel\, made with hydrogen instead of coal\, significantly cuts carbon emissions. It is crucial for sectors like energy\, automotive\, and white goods as they strive to decarbonise their operations and supply chains in response to incentives and tightening ESG regulation. While a promising eco-friendly alternative to traditional steel production\, green steel faces challenges in reaching commercial viability. It is costly to produce\, requires access to a steady supply of renewable energy\, and needs significant investment in new infrastructure. But it also opens-up the opportunity for market disruptors to introduce new technologies and business models to make steel production more sustainable and competitive. \nAs the global demand for responsibly produced steel rises\, this 50-minute digital dialogue will look at how market disruptors\, steel consumers (automotive\, energy\, construction\, white goods)\, along with policymakers and investors\, can work together to overcome the obstacles to transitioning from dirty to clean steel by using an end-to-end value chain approach\, developed by the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center (EGHAC). \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:UNEP webinar on report findings on solutions to end plastic pollution
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, UNEP will present the key findings of its latest report “Turning off the Tap: How the world can end plastic pollution and create a circular economy“. The report proposes a systems change to address the causes of plastic pollution. It combines reducing the most problematic and unnecessary plastic uses with three market shifts – Reuse\, Recycle\, and Reorient and Diversify – and actions to deal with the plastic pollution legacy. \n\nReuse refers to the transformation of the ‘throwaway economy’ to a ‘reuse society’.\nRecycling refers to the importance of accelerating the market for plastics recycling\, ensuring it becomes a more profitable venture.\nReorient and Diversify refer to shifting the market demand towards sustainable plastic alternatives.\n\nThe report highlights that these solutions are available now and explains how a systems change underpinned by the necessary integrated regulatory instruments will result in social\, environmental\, and economic benefits. \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:ESCAP-SCO Side Event: Enabling Food Systems Transformation through Climate Smart Agri-Innovation
DESCRIPTION:The agricultural sector in the Asia-Pacific region is suffering from a number of key constraints which are significantly worsening the vulnerability of agriculture to climate impacts in the region. Apart from being highly vulnerable to its impacts\, agriculture is also an important contributor to climate change. \nAgricultural innovation for development of more efficient and sustainable technologies and machinery holds significant promise to boost climate resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Apart from digital and smart technologies\, there is a vital role for innovation of simple and low-cost agricultural technologies and practices for resource-poor farmers and smallholders. These can help put agriculture on a trajectory of resilient and low-carbon development. \nCo-organized by ESCAP and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) during the 79th session of the Commission\, the event will inform and support countries’ implementation of the national food system transformation pathway\, especially in the action areas of advancing equitable livelihoods\, building resilience\, and accelerating the Means of Implementation. It will advance the understanding of policymakers and practitioners working in the areas of agriculture and climate change adaptation and mitigation on the need for promoting agri-innovation. \nThe event will be opened by remarks from senior-level speakers. This will be followed by a panel of experts that will illustrate pertinent approaches and technologies. The closing session will reflect on how such solutions can be upscaled in the region through multilateral cooperation. \nParticipants attending the 79th session of the Commission in Bangkok are welcome to attend in-person while the event will also be open to online participation through the registration link below. The event will be conducted in English and simultaneous interpretation will be provided in Chinese and Russian for the online 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.
