2022-10-06 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual Event
It is an economic imperative for leaders, investors and society to maximize the return on investment of ESG strategies. While having comprehensive sustainable business plans that navigate issues like climate change, stakeholder capitalism and DEI efforts are now table stakes for most organizations; some companies are ahead of the curve when it comes to these efforts. When it comes to investing, there are quantitative and qualitative ESG investment strategies that have proven success when it comes to returns and impact.

CNBC’s ESG Impact conference convenes corporate leaders and noted investors who are succeeding in the space to share their best ideas when it comes to the environment, social and governance, where to invest and how to measure the impact.

Climate Bonds Connect 2022 - Regional Seminar Asia Pacific
2022-10-05 20:00 - 2022-10-06 01:45 | SGX Centre, Singapore
REGIONAL SEMINAR ASIA PACIFIC

Kick-starting our Climate Bonds CONNECT 2022 event series is our Asia Pacific Regional Seminar in Singapore, where we will convene local and regional actors and focus the conversations on the Asia Pacific region’s priorities to accelerate the development of the sustainable debt market.

As a region on the front line of climate change impacts, organisations in Asia have been working relentlessly with significant capacity-building projects in the region. The growing volume of Sovereign labelled issuances for infrastructure investments, including sustainable Islamic finance growth and Green Sukuk issuances, positions the region as an influential player in the transitioning of the green finance economy.

The combination of net-zero commitments; policy action; green hubs; global investors; and banking sector support in the region will help pave the way for sustainable growth paths needed to raise the $5trillion of climate bonds issuance per year by 2025.

Climate Bonds Connect 2022: Combining the power of in-person and with the reach of online participation

With a mix of invitation-only in-person participation and a larger online audience connected to the discussions, the Asia Pacific Regional Seminar will combine the power of in-person events with the reach and flexibility that online participation provides to drive the sustainable finance agenda forward.

Leading investors, financial leaders and policymakers from across the region will convene in Singapore this October to discuss potential solutions and opportunities for both private sector and governments in moving their economies onto a Paris-aligned pathway.

Unlocking Sustainable Finance for Nature-Based Solutions #UNGA77
2022-09-22 10:15 - 11:15 | Virtual Event
Join us for an event on the sidelines of UNGA 77 in New York where Devex — in partnership with FinDev Canada, Pollination and ANZ — will show how private investors and development finance institutions hold the power to protect, sustainably manage, and restore ecosystems through investments in nature-based solutions.

Investors are now coming under increasing scrutiny over how far their investments support a pathway to net-zero, particularly in low- and middle-income countries that often bear the highest burden of climate impacts. Private investors and development finance institutions have an opportunity to participate meaningfully in the funding of nature-based projects in these markets and expand access to bankable solutions.

The financing of nature-based solutions requires collaboration across a diverse set of partners, including the public and private sector, conservation organizations, commercial and impact investors, donors, and many more.

ESG: Unlocking Impact Through Education #UNGA77
2022-09-21 12:00 - 13:30 | New York City, Midtown East, New York, New York, United States
A new approach to ESG and Corporate Social Responsibility

This event is open to ESG, social impact, corporate philanthropy and sustainability professionals.

Evidence demonstrates strong correlations between education and diverse outcomes ranging from health, climate, economic growth and wages to equity, diversity and inclusion. This event will explore how corporate actions, small and large, can make a quantifiable and direct impact across all aspects of environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities.

Companies traditionally committed to education as a social impact priority are finding it difficult to justify these efforts under new ESG frameworks linked to risk mitigation and sustainability. Similarly, ESG professionals do not view acting on education as leverage point to advance ESG objectives.

The discussion will provide a framework for investment in education to mitigate risk, improve corporate performance, and enhance corporate perception. while making a more tangible impact on society.

2022-09-20 15:30 - 16:30 | 135 Madison Ave, 135 Madison Ave, Floor 8, New York, New York, 10016, United States
With 222 million crisis-affected children and adolescents in need of education, there is an urgent necessity to better understand and respond to the education needs of crisis-affected people. Strong and coherent systems to collect, analyze, and share information on education in emergencies — across the humanitarian-development nexus — are essential and indispensable.

The panel conversation will discuss education in humanitarian settings and will speak to the bold commitments required to obtain true transformation of education systems that enable inclusive, holistic learning and development for crisis-affected children and youth.

Alliance Action Forum #UNGA 77
2022-09-20 14:00 - 17:30 | NY
Measuring and evaluating business impact is a critical part of the successful delivery of Agenda 2030. There are calls from governments and civil society – and increasingly from companies themselves – for better monitoring to ensure progress and alignment. However, the world currently lacks a mechanism to hold its most influential companies accountable for their impact and to see whether the actions lead to genuine transformational change on this shared agenda. Holistic transparency and accountability of private sector engagement and impact can support the aspiration the international community seeks for more equity, fairness and effectiveness in multilateral decision-making.

In this context, together, as a global and multi-stakeholder Alliance, how can we aspire to set action for corporate accountability firmly on the UN agenda, especially looking ahead to creating a roadmap to the Future Summit in 2023? How can we embed business accountability into the UN’s core working principles, turn narrative into commitments, and strengthen means of implementation for the SDGs?

Held in an interactive workshop format, the dialogue will have 30 multi-stakeholder participants (civil society, NGOs, business associations, academic institutions, investors, multilateral agencies, consultancies) from WBA’s global Alliance. It will be framed by interventions from representatives from each stakeholder group, all in line with the ambitions of the 77th Session of the General Assembly.

SDG Summit USA 2022
2022-09-20 13:00 - 18:00 | Hudson Yards, Hudson Yards, New York, United States
About the event

Today’s business landscape is characterized by an unprecedented, accelerating, and complex mix of risks and opportunities. New markets are emerging rapidly due to megatrends such as climate change, supply chain realignment, and global health risks. There is a growing understanding – especially by business leaders ahead of the curve – that it is not enough for companies to react to these trends. They must take a proactive role in shaping a better world for this and future generations. The businesses that understand this challenge and act will be a step ahead. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a powerful north star for improving our world, laying out collectively where we need to go and how to get there.

In Network USA’s first in-person event post-COVID, we will bring together US companies during the UN General Assembly who actively support the UN Secretary General’s call to align their strategies and operations with universal principles. This year, Network USA will be hosting SDG Summit USA to showcase actions that American companies are taking to increase ambition, innovation, and implement the SDGs into their core operations.
