IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit
2023-09-28 00:00 - 23:59 | Paris, France
The International Energy Agency will host the first ever international summit on critical minerals and their role in clean energy transitions on 28 September 2023 in Paris.
The IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit will focus on measures to promote the secure, sustainable and responsible supply of raw materials that have a central role in the global clean energy transition. The Summit will convene ministers from countries around the world – including both large mineral producers and consumers – as well as business leaders, investors, heads of international organisations and civil society representatives.
The convening of the IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit comes after the IEA was given a Ministerial mandate by its member governments last year to deepen its work on critical minerals. Building on the analysis of its landmark report The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions, the Agency has launched new work streams to improve the transparency and security of critical minerals supplies and just published its inaugural Critical Minerals Market Review. The IEA was also recently asked by G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers to provide support on critical minerals.
The Summit will aim to build a broader consensus among the participants on effective courses of action to diversify mineral supply chains, enhance market transparency, accelerate technological innovation and recycling, and promote sustainable and responsible development practices.

Demand for minerals that help power electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels and other clean energy technologies is skyrocketing as the global energy transition gathers pace, increasing the need for international cooperation.
According to the IEA’s Critical Minerals Market Review 2023, the overall market for energy transition minerals has doubled in size over the past five years, reaching USD 320 billion in 2022. It is set for continued rapid growth, moving it increasingly to centre stage for the global mining industry and policy makers focused on energy and climate goals.
Growing investment in critical mineral development provides grounds for cautious optimism on future supplies. Yet the risk of project delays and technology-specific shortfalls leaves little room for complacency – and more projects are needed by 2030 in a scenario that limits global warming to 1.5 °C, according to the IEA’s analysis.
Limited progress on diversifying supply sources also remains a major concern, while environmental, social and governance performance offers significant scope for improvement. These trends underscore the importance of high-level dialogue among global stakeholders.
For more information on the outlook for critical minerals, visit the IEA Critical Minerals Data Explorer. This interactive online tool maps out global demand projections for more than three dozen minerals essential to clean energy transitions under various scenarios and technology trends.

Asia in Transition
Following the COP27 Climate Change Conference and the COP15 Conference on Biological Diversity, business leaders and investors in Asia are better placed to amplify actions to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Today, business leaders understand that they must embrace and embed practices and policies which respond to Asia’s environmental priorities. But while some enterprises are already taking active measures to lower carbon and methane emissions, reduce deforestation risks in their supply chains, and embrace circular economy principles, there remains significant scope to reinvent, innovate and drive action on corporate sustainability in the region. What is the state of play on corporate action, including ESG investment in Asia? What are tools, mechanisms and incentives emerging from these global climate/environmental frameworks that businesses can use to advance their actions in these areas? Who is leading in sustainability practice and what are some initial results? Importantly, what is on the horizon and where are the blind spots?
Increasingly, sustainability professionals recognize that a level playing field will be necessary to drive practice at scale. With this in mind, action from government to ensure data transparency, policy coherence and environmental rule of law will be key. Some governments in Asia are now taking steps to strengthen environmental laws and policies, to improve implementation and enforcement measures, and to enhance vehicles for public participation in environmental decision-making, in alignment with international trends. Signaling a growing consensus among states, the UN General Assembly passed an historic resolution in July of 2022, recognizing the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.[1] This resolution followed quickly on the heels of a UN Human Rights Council resolution recognizing the same, in October of 2021.[2] These “twin resolutions” as they are often called, on the right to a healthy environment (RHE) have given additional, much-needed impetus to the work of promoting responsible business practices in Asia. But what does RHE and its relationship with environmental rule of law mean for business in the region, and how can it be translated into action by governments? What role, too, does the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) play, as increasing numbers of governments adopt national action plans to support UNGP implementation?
Hosted by UNDP and UNEP, the regional conference on Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Rights in Asia will explore efforts undertaken so far by States and business to address Asia’s environmental priorities. These include, mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, addressing adverse climate impacts, protecting nature, eliminating and reversing biodiversity loss, and mitigating air and water pollution, among others. In so doing, the conference will explore the advantages for business in adopting policies which promote and protect the right to a healthy environment. Further, the conference will examine current practices in decarbonization efforts, biodiversity loss assessments and disclosures, and good practices in addressing air and water pollution, and ensuring just transitions in the renewable energy space. The conference will also identify gaps and space for collaboration between partners on wider subjects including, loss and damage and the “30 by 30 plan” for nature conservation. A mix of exchanges on environmental rule of law topics, and deeper dives in regulatory practice will motivate a constructive dialogue among different stakeholders on opportunities for business to deliver on environmental and broader ESG commitments.
Conference outcomes
The regional conference on Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Rights in Asia will facilitate learning and dialogue around the role of business in strengthening the right to a healthy environment. Three outcomes are contemplated: 1) better understanding among business actors and experts on ways to reduce impacts on climate and the environment; 2) constructive dialogue between business, government and civil society on business policy formation, emerging regulatory requirements and enforcement measures; ; 3) stronger uptake by civil society, media and youth on specific environmental and climate-related priorities and; 4) greater awareness of the potential positive contribution of business in addressing these priorities in a just and sustainable way. Overall, the conference will result in a wider understanding of the applicability and utility of the right to a healthy environment, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and environmental rule of law principles to resolve a host of sustainability-related matters facing the people of Asia.
If successful, the conference on Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Rights in Asia will occur yearly and seek to refine outcomes as time progresses. In preparation of future events, committees may be formed around specific issues that tailor conversations to issues relevant to upcoming global conferences (Conference of the Parties) on climate change and biodiversity.

Bloomberg Equality is built to meet these leaders where they are and enable real progress.

About the Program

As Bloomberg Equality enters its sixth year, our theme is Fostering an Inclusive Economy. The rapid digital transformation of our economy requires business leaders and policy makers to redouble efforts to ensure that no one gets left behind. We are at a critical moment to advance equity and equality.
At our inaugural event in Atlanta, we’ll explore the potential of what can be achieved by setting ideological differences aside for economic opportunities. Atlanta has fueled a reverse migration to the South and has grown to be the ninth largest market in the U.S. How can leaders ensure that rapid pace of growth does not exile the most vulnerable to the fringes of society?

Unlocking opportunities for a greener and fairer world
In-Person & Digital | Convene, 1 Liberty Plaza | New York | #FTMoralMoney
The environmental and social agenda is at a critical juncture with businesses and investors under increasing pressure to demonstrate progress on their goals. The demand for transparency and accountability is growing louder as many companies fail to fulfil their climate, governance and societal pledges, while concerns over greenwashing multiply. To make progress towards a more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive economy, the implementation strategies and the oversight of how they are being executed must be bulletproof. But how to ensure accountability for sustainability goals at every level? And faced with political backlash in certain US states, how can companies navigate fiduciary duties and continue implementing practices promoting sustainability and social equity?
Join the Financial Times at the 3rd annual Moral Money Summit Americas, where leading investors, corporates and policy makers will come together to discuss what needs to happen next to unlock the opportunities on the journey to a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive economy.

Energy Transition Summit
2023-10-31 00:00 - 2023-11-02 23:59 | Hilton Bankside, London, UK. (In-person & Virtual)
Accelerating progress, overcoming protectionism, managing tight capital
An unprecedented alignment of the climate change emergency with economic and supply chain factors and national security drivers has turbocharged the energy transition, boosting the diversification of energy supply and increasing investment into clean energy sources. However, these combined forces have also triggered a nationalistic and protectionist approach, which has deepened supply chain fragmentation and threatens to drive up the cost of the transition and ultimately slow progress. Against this complex backdrop, how can the industry find the right balance between sustainability, security and affordability?
The 8th edition of the Financial Times’ Energy Transition Summit will bring together senior leaders from the energy industry spectrum, finance and business leaders from high energy consuming industries who are tackling this energy trilemma. Expert-led and FT-moderated panel discussions, keynote interviews and debates will provide key insights and practical takeaways on how to continue the acceleration of the transition and navigate the geopolitical, technological and financial challenges that leaders are facing.

A critical moment in global transformative climate action
In the three decades since the Rio Summit and the launch of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP) has convened member countries every year to determine ambition and responsibilities, and identify and assess climate measures. The 21st session of the COP (COP21) led to the Paris Agreement, which mobilized global collective action to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels by 2100, and to act to adapt to the already existing effects of climate change.

Moody’s 8th Annual US Project Finance Conference
2023-12-07 14:00 - 16:30 | Virtual Event
Risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy and new transportation, digital infrastructure, and real estate related projects amid a softer economic outlook [online event]
Welcome,
Engage with seasoned analysts from Moody’s Investors Service to discuss the risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy, our 2024 US transportation sector outlooks, and new credit trends in the US project finance market.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, joins us to discuss his economic outlook for 2024 amid rising uncertainty and softening expectations for future growth. We will examine the implications of this economic outlook on financings related to the transition to a carbon-free economy, the current state of new technologies to help with this transition and how utilities are maintaining reliability as renewables increase and more transmission investments are needed.
Our lineup also offers opportunities to delve into examples of how higher interest rates have influenced project financing structures and what we expect to continue in 2024. Changing market dynamics have resulted in several new data center, digital infrastructure, real estate related and EV charging projects that each have their own unique risk profiles to be considered project financings. Analysts will share how projects have addressed construction cost inflation and supply chain disruptions and how these evolving risks may be mitigated in some cases.
This event is online-only.
