SUMMARY:Innovating New Financing Solutions to Advance the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Finance is not working for people or the planet. We need to act to change this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is a significant gap between this growing awareness and tangible actions that will result in better outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the annual SDG financing gap to $3.7 trillion in 2020\, up from $2.5 trillion in 2019 (OECD) – a drop in the ocean compared to the claimed ESG investment universe. It is certain that in the current landscape of small\, separate sustainable finance initiatives\, often focused in high- and middle-income countries\, we will not deliver the change at scale needed across the financial system globally. A transformational shift in how we think about capital\, the role of capital in society\, and the private sector is needed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this special fireside chat and audience Q&A\, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes the Director of UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub\, Marcos Neto\, to discuss the innovative instruments for attracting and disbursing significantly greater amounts of impact capital and exponentially growing the business/finance sector’s social and environmental impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will discuss\, among other topics: \n\n\n\nA new normal where enterprises’ role moves from maximizing profits to maximizing economic\, social\, and environmental impacts or\, to put it even more ambitiously\, our collective human and planetary wellbeingInstruments that enable businesses and investors to continue to be profitable and become more equitable economic models fit for the futureUNDP’s relationship to countries and the private sector in this journey\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos Neto\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos Athias Neto joined UNDP in February 2013 and has since led UNDP’s global work on private sector development and foundations\, first at UNDP’s headquarters in New York and then\, from November 2014\, as head of the Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD). In April 2019\, Marcos returned to New York to lead the establishment and management of UNDP’s new Finance Sector Hub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos led the development of UNDP’s new private sector strategy and its offers on SDG Finance. He co-chairs the executive boards of the Business Call To Action and the Connecting Business Initiative.

SUMMARY:GreenFin - Aligning Sustainability and Capital Markets
DESCRIPTION:GreenFin Sustainable finance has exploded in the past few years. Corporate ESG ratings are now being seen by investors as synonymous with reduced risk and higher returns.

SUMMARY:UN Ocean Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:PHOTO:Underwater Seascapes\, Anders Nyberg\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave our Ocean\, Protect our Future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ocean Conference\, co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal\, comes at a critical time as the world is seeking to address many of the deep-rooted problems of our societies laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic and which will require major structural transformations and common shared solutions that are anchored in the SDGs. To mobilize action\, the Conference will seek to propel much needed science-based innovative solutions aimed at starting a new chapter of global ocean action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the 2022 UN Ocean Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface\, is the planet’s largest biosphere\, and is home to up to 80 percent of all life in the world. It generates 50 percent of the oxygen we need\, absorbs 25 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions and captures 90 percent of the additional heat generated from those emissions. It is not just ‘the lungs of the planet’ but also its largest carbon sink – a vital buffer against the impacts of climate change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt nurtures unimaginable biodiversity and produces food\, jobs\, mineral and energy resources needed for life on the planet to survive and thrive. There is a great deal we still do not know about the ocean but there are many reasons why we need to manage it sustainably – as set out in the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe science is clear – the ocean is facing unprecedented threats as a result of human activities. Its health and ability to sustain life will only get worse as the world population grows and human activities increase. If we want to address some of the most defining issues of our time such as climate change\, food insecurity\, diseases and pandemics\, diminishing biodiversity\, economic inequality and even conflicts and strife\, we must act now to protect the state of our ocean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-lifestyle/ \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Localizing Action for the Ocean: Local and Regional Governments Special Event-2022 United Nations Ocean Conference
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2022 UN Ocean Conference offers a unique opportunity for cities and regions to mobilize and demonstrate leadership in taking action to protect our ocean and ensure that the ocean and its accompanying coasts are sustainably managed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocal and regional governments\, and their associations and networks\, recognize that the protection of the ocean is pivotal to the conservation of common and natural resources.
