SUMMARY:ESG Portfolio Management: Optimizing Opportunities & Performance
DESCRIPTION:More investment portfolio managers are recognizing that ESG factors can have a material impact on a company’s long-term financial performance.

As a result\, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become an important consideration and essential component of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. However\, implementing this strategy is a considerable undertaking\, with significant challenges including alignment of ESG priorities\, tedious manual data collection processes\, and insufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance. \nWe invite you to join Archer and BPM for this webinar to learn about:\n• Current developments\, roadblocks\, and upside potential of ESG portfolio management\n• Optimal approach for portfolio management companies to build and sustain an ESG program\n• How Archer can enhance ESG performance management and reporting practices for optimized management decision-making \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:ESG: Dispatch from the Front Lines of Accountable Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors have captured the attention of trillions of dollars of capital\, engaged thousands of consultants\, and become a top strategic concern in the C-suite and board rooms. However\, over the past 18 months\, a countermovement has challenged the efforts to value ESG factors and incorporate them into strategic initiatives\, claiming that such efforts are “woke” and antithetical to free markets. This countermovement has culminated in seven separate Congressional hearings in Washington\, DC in July 2023\, challenging various aspects of ESG integration. Yet\, at the same time\, EU ESG disclosure regulation continues to expand and investor and corporate interest in ESG factors remains strong. \nIn this LinkedIn Live Session\, three leaders in ESG integration – across financial services\, consulting\, and corporate – will join Wharton professors to discuss their perspectives on the current battle of ideas\, dollars\, and action. Join us to learn the latest actionable insights from the front lines of accountable capitalism. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism.

SUMMARY:8th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum)
DESCRIPTION:Considered Asia-Pacific’s largest and longest-standing gathering of adaptation practitioners to share information\, knowledge and best practices in adaptation and resilience-building\, the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum) is the biennial flagship event of the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN) Secretariat\, hosted within the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. \nThe APAN Forum serves as a primary regional platform for adaptation practitioners to meet\, exchange knowledge and experiences\, and collaborate towards the pertinent outcomes and practical solutions that are needed to address the challenges of climate change. \nThe 8th APAN Forum will take place in-person from 30 August (Wednesday) to 1 September (Friday) during the Korea Global Adaptation Week (KGAW) 2023. It will be hosted by the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea\, the Korea Environment Institute – Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change and Incheon Metropolitan City\, and co-organised by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the UNEP through the APAN Secretariat. \nObjectives \nThe APAN Forum aims to: \n\nEnhance understanding of climate change adaptation issues\, approaches\, and policies for effective planning;\nProvide a comprehensive report on actions taken and progress made to address knowledge\, policy\, and funding gaps since the last APAN Forum;\nServe as a platform for accelerating action and implementing adaptation knowledge and programmes\, offering actionable guidelines for communities\, practitioners\, and policymakers;\nFormulate recommendations to expand adaptation efforts in the Asia-Pacific region\, guiding contributions to COPs and other global/regional initiatives; and\,\nPromote climate change adaptation and resilience through knowledge sharing\, collaboration\, and amplification of messages from local to global levels.\n\nForum Theme \nResilience for All: Enabling transformative implementation \nOver the past two decades\, Resilience has served as a unifying theme for the APAN Forums. The past years have seen significant efforts towards generating knowledge and information on climate change adaptation at the global and regional levels. However\, we are still significantly off-schedule to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and the world is in a state of climate emergency. The current climate change impacts are evident and disruptive in sectors like agriculture\, ecosystems\, human health\, urban settlements and infrastructure. \nTherefore\, this year’s theme underscores the urgency of adaptation action that is required to build resilience and equip communities with the capacity to withstand and moderate worst-case climate scenarios. It is also in line with the key outcomes of COP 27\, further emphasising the importance of transformative approach to accelerating and enhancing adaptation efforts. \nTarget Participants \nRepresentatives from governments\, financing institutions\, academia and research\, international organisations\, UN agencies\, civil society organisations\, youth organisations and the private sector\, among others\, will participate in the 8th APAN Forum to work together to build and strengthen partnerships across sectors for adaptation action. The Forum will also provide a space to reflect on the outcomes of COP 27\, and to highlight regional lessons learned. These will serve as inputs for the discussions at COP 28\, which is to be held at the Expo City\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates in November 2023. \n  \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
