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. Apart from his role at UNDP\, Marcos also serves on the Supervisory Boards of CARE International and the Museum of Tomorrow International. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the past 25 years\, Marcos has been a leader in sustainable development\, poverty eradication and multi-stakeholder partnership building. He is a passionate advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to joining UNDP\, Marcos spent 17 years at CARE International. During his tenure at CARE International\, Marcos served in numerous roles including Regional Manager for Asia and Latin America at CARE UK\, Executive Director of CARE Brasil\, and Program Director in Central America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos has lived and worked in Central and South America\, Europe and the United States and has also worked in Asia\, Middle East and Africa. He is a lawyer by training\, with a Master of Laws from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. Marcos is married and has two children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ImpactEMagazine\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: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/ \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:Next-generation continuity: Creating a culture of sustainability in business resilience
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \n\n\n\nInnovation in information technology is driven in part by changing demands. The transition to cloud-based data storage is an example of an innovative response that facilitates easier access to information while promoting operational resilience. There is now a shift from urgent resilience plans to more intentional strategies that are meant to address the next major disruption. But\, one crisis that needs urgent attention is climate change. As we quickly approach 2030 carbon-neutral goals\, it is important to understand the role of sustainability in business resilience and corporate continuity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith greater technology comes a greater burden on the energy systems of the world. Now that cloud technologies are maturing\, there is an opportunity to reexamine their impact on the environment. Storing massive amounts of data reliably comes with a significant energy outlay along with the need for massive amounts of space. Weighing the need for advanced technology with the responsibility to act sustainably will be at the heart of reducing the world’s reliance on nonrenewable resources. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile the pandemic pushed for immediate changes\, natural disasters and extreme weather events are exacting a similar pressure on companies to act more sustainably. Businesses in everything from financial services to retail are thinking about reducing their carbon footprint while accounting for the increasingly extreme conditions snarling supply chains and operations. But\, making changes to operations and processes comes with the challenge of justifying the cost outlay of a strategic shift. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgrammed by Economist Impact and sponsored by Everbridge\, this panel discussion will examine how companies can incorporate sustainability into their continuity and resilience strategies. \n\n\n\nKey questions:\n\n\n\n-How can distributors and consumers of technology incorporate considerations of sustainability into the next generation of information technology innovation? -How should companies think about adding sustainability into the calculus of business resilience? -What are some actions companies can take to reduce their reliance on nonrenewable resources? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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.
