SUMMARY:The 6th Sustainability Summit for south-east Europe and the Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Redefining sustainability in an unsustainable world\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion in Ukraine\, the need to redefine the concept of sustainability on a global basis has arisen. New big challenges emerge\, such as disruption in the energy sector\, the threat of a food crisis\, new refugee flows\, restructuring of public health systems\, changes in the workplace and labour relations. The already existing crucial issues of sustainability\, such as climate crisis and biodiversity loss\, poverty and inequalities\, transformation of cities\, are thus being addressed within a new context. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgainst this background\, the discussion on sustainability becomes of great importance. Many new –and old– questions require answers and\, most important\, demand effective and inclusive action: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow will the SDGs work after pandemic and the war in Ukraine?\n\n\n\nIs there a link between biodiversity loss and the pandemics?\n\n\n\nEU’s and European governments’ reaction to the refugee crisis\n\n\n\nWhat changes are needed in terms of production\, trade and food consumption?\n\n\n\nIs there risk of a decarbonisation reversal?\n\n\n\nIs nuclear energy a solution to the explosion of energy prices?\n\n\n\nAre inequalities being sharpened in the post-pandemic working environment?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgainst this background\, the discussion on sustainability becomes of great importance. Many new –and old– questions require answers and\, most important\, demand effective and inclusive action: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWithin this context\, The Economist Impact Events in partnership with SDSN Europe\, SDSN Greece and EIT Climate- KIC Hub Greece have great pleasure in announcing the organisation of the Sixth Economist Sustainability Summit for South-East Europe and the Mediterranean scheduled to take place on November 30th & December 1st\, 2022 at the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso in Kavouri. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by Economist_SEUR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:World Ocean Summit Asia-Pacific 2022
DESCRIPTION:Giving “blue solutions” the green light\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Asia-Pacific is the region that is perhaps most vulnerable to climate change and ocean degradation\, being heavily dependent on the seas for food provision and economic development. Challenges with pollution\, climate change impacts\, biodiversity loss and patchy governance\, among others\, make the transition to a sustainable ocean economy in the Asia-Pacific complex and occasionally even daunting. At the same time\, the global conversation on the ocean typically happens elsewhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntering its second year\, the summit will cover the length and breadth of the sustainable ocean economy with sessions on governance\, climate change\, finance\, supply chains\, innovation and technology\, shipping\, tourism\, fishing and aquaculture. A key theme for the summit will be marine pollution and addressing the problems of plastics and chemicals in the ocean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis two-day programme will take place at the Resorts World Convention Centre in Singapore in-person. Up to 12 sessions over the course of the summit will be live-streamed to a wider audience virtually.

SUMMARY:Packaging Targets: Set and Meet Them with Plastic IQ
DESCRIPTION:Companies across the United States have publicly announced ambitious sustainable plastic packaging targets to accomplish by 2030 or sooner\, but many lack the proper resources and time to understand exactly how to get there. Simultaneously\, plastic pollution leakage into the environment is a key topic across multiple sectors\, including the waste industry. What will it take to reduce plastic packaging waste in the U.S.\, and how can brands and retailers positively influence the outcomes? Without sustainable packaging strategies to manage broad portfolios\, it is difficult to weigh decisions that will result in the best environmental and economic outcomes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin The Recycling Partnership and esteemed panelists from Walmart\, WWF\, and Blue Apron to hear why more than 200 U.S. companies are using Plastic IQ\, a free\, customizable tool to make informed circular packaging decisions across their plastics portfolios. Supported by Walmart and co-developed with SYSTEMIQ\, this open access tool allows users to compare solutions for reduction\, reuse\, recyclability\, and compostability and assess the most impactful options for meeting packaging targets by 2025 or 2030. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Takeways: \n\n\n\n\nAccess the best data available for setting and meeting plastic packaging targets – for free\n\n\n\nHear from industry leaders how the tool is driving their high impact solutions\n\n\n\nConnect with Walmart Project Gigaton and U.S. Plastics Pact Activator reporting\n\n\n\nPrepare for U.S. policy as the landscape quickly evolves\n\n\n\nGain public recognition for commitments\, if desired\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by SustainBrands\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:Centennial Speaker Series: Terrence Keeley on Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:A co-sponsored event\, presented by CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe global economy is at a crossroads. Can finance fix it? Proponents of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They claim that new financial strategies that consider all stakeholders are essential tools for addressing runaway carbon emissions and stark income inequality\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Is this approach really leading to better social and environmental outcomes for all? If not\, how can it be improved? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Sustainable\, a finance industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects\, and limitations of ESG investing and provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more optimal outcomes. Terrence Keeley argues that both activist and C-suite advocates have been overly optimistic about what ESG can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot achieve inclusive\, sustainable growth on their own: Regulators\, public policies\, civil society\, and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we need. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopies of Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing will be raffled off to attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by CFANewYork\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:Climate Risk Insight Hour
DESCRIPTION:Recalibrating what it will take to achieve net-zero\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe pathway to net zero will take significant time and money. Trillions of dollars in investment will be required to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050\, with annual spending needing to increase by 60%. The shift to net zero also invites social\, political and structural changes. It is estimated to create 200m jobs by 2050\, though some 185m jobs may be lost\, according to a study by McKinsey & Company. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs more firms work on decarbonisation activities\, the opportunities\, costs\, trade-offs and uneven nature of the transition becomes more apparent. And it is unclear how geopolitical crises\, such as the war in Ukraine\, may affect the pace of the transition to net zero for companies and countries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat short- and long-term social and economic adjustments must be made in the transition to net zero? How do these differ across regions\, sectors and communities? What has been the effect of recent geopolitical events on decarbonisation strategies? Do shocks like the war in Ukraine threaten to upend the sustainability agenda\, or could they hasten its progress? How are business leaders preparing for volatility in the energy sector? And what does this mean for companies’ investment strategies? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:2nd Asia Pacific Environmental Human Rights Defenders Forum
DESCRIPTION:Environmental human rights defenders (EHRDs) are at the forefront of the triple planetary crises of pollution\, biodiversity loss\, and climate change. All EHRDs\, as individuals and groups who\, in their personal or professional capacity and in a peaceful manner\, strive to protect and promote human rights relating to the environment\, including water\, air\, land\, flora\, and fauna1\, play an essential role in protecting the environment\, supporting the rights of communities to participate in environmental decision making and calling out unsustainable development practices and illegal actions causing environmental harm. Their role is central to realizing the right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment: a right that has recently been given universal recognition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing a landmark resolution adopted at the Human Rights Council in 20212\, on 28 July 2022 the United Nations General Assembly recognized\, for the first time\, that a clean\, healthy\, and sustainable environment is a universal human right3. The General Assembly resolution affirms the importance of a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment for the enjoyment of all human rights\, and calls upon States\, international organizations\, business enterprises\, and other relevant stakeholders to scale up efforts to ensure a clean\, healthy\, and sustainable environment for all. There is no time more critical to support and champion the role of EHRDs than now\, to ensure that the right to a healthy environment is implemented for everyone everywhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnvironmental defenders continue to be at the forefront of environmental protection\, holding governments and businesses to account for environmental harms and upholding the rights of those most affected by environmental degradation. Environmental defenders fill a vital gap in spotlighting the inaction of primary duty-bearers. Despite the crucial contribution from environmental human rights defenders\, they are rarely recognised and often neglected as significant drivers of sustainable and just social and environmental progress. Instead of lauding the actions of EHRDs\, they are instead frequently subject to violent attacks and reprisals\, stigmatization\, arbitrary detention\, and lawsuits. Environmental defenders who may be activists\, journalists\, Indigenous peoples\, and members of local communities\, who are at the forefront of sustainable development and good environmental governance\, are often targeted and harassed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmong the 615 human rights defender attacks linked to Business and Human Rights tracked in 2021\, nearly 70% were against climate\, land\, and environmental rights defenders4. Data demonstrated that while attacks against EHRDs happen in every region of the world\, Asia Pacific was the most affected region in 2021 with 247 cases. Most attacks occurred in India (49) and the Philippines (44). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UNEP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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.
