SUMMARY:Climate & Development Finance: What Works?
DESCRIPTION:With the world moving from global warming to “global boiling\,” to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’s dramatic description\, there is more urgency than ever to unlock the capital needed for the transition to a net-zero economy. That will mean not only increasing funding commitments but also deploying financing for climate and sustainable development in the most efficient and effective way possible. While the development community knows what it needs to do\, the question now is how to do it. \nProduced in partnership with:

SUMMARY:Climate Week NYC
DESCRIPTION:Climate Week NYC stands as the premier annual event in the realm of climate action\, uniting around 400 events and activities within the expanse of New York City. Through a blend of physical\, hybrid\, and digital formats\, this weeklong gathering draws together a diverse array of participants. This assembly includes business magnates\, political trailblazers\, community leaders\, and representatives from civil society worldwide\, representing varied ages and backgrounds. Their common purpose is to propel the transition towards a sustainable future\, expedite the pace of progress\, and champion the ongoing transformations. \nPlaying host to this impactful gathering is the Climate Group\, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating climate action. The week’s official program\, orchestrated by the Climate Group\, serves as a nexus for prominent figures spanning business\, government\, civil society\, and the climate sector on an international scale. \nThis year’s iteration of Climate Week NYC is slated for September 17-24\, 2023. Orchestrated in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly\, the event occurs in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York. \nThe event’s core activities encompass an extensive range of nearly 400 events and activities held throughout New York City. These proceedings will be accessible through various channels\, with key sessions streamed online for remote participation. The lineup includes entirely digital events incorporated into the program. \nA pivotal moment within the week is the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony\, scheduled for September 17. This ceremony commands considerable attention and features substantial announcements\, dialogues\, and conversations with global leaders hailing from business\, government\, and the climate community. Distinguished figures such as Prince Charles\, Tim Cook\, Jacinda Ardern\, Kristalina Georgieva\, and others have graced the stage in past editions. \nThe Opening Ceremony this year will grapple with three fundamental queries: \n1. How can investments be strategically directed\, and those with vested interests be held accountable\, given the urgency of climate action?\n2. While solutions to the climate crisis are available\, how can they be effectively implemented?\n3. What strides have been made\, and how can the collective determination of the climate community continue to drive meaningful climate action? \nSpanning September 18 and 19\, 2023\, the Climate Group hosts The Hub Live\, gathering over 1\,000 influential leaders from various sectors. This segment comprises sessions addressing key themes\, yet to be disclosed. \nThe theme “We Can. We Will” epitomizes the spirit of the event. It reflects a resolute commitment\, an unwavering focus\, a hopeful promise\, and a collective call to action. This theme encompasses both immediate action and a forward-looking perspective\, encompassing new prospects and initiatives. \nWhile promising strides have been witnessed in domains like renewables and financing\, the event underscores the necessity to persistently advance. The upcoming phase mandates a thorough examination of the path forward: amplifying investments in sustainability\, pioneering novel solutions\, translating intentions into tangible actions\, exploring fresh opportunities\, and collectively dismantling barriers. \nForecasts anticipate that this year’s Climate Week NYC will surpass the impact of the transformative 2022 edition. Business leaders\, policy-makers\, community representatives\, and civil society advocates are poised to harness this week as a rallying point\, fostering substantial contributions to the pivotal goal of halving carbon emissions by 2030 and progressing toward a net-zero future by 2050.

SUMMARY:5th annual ESG and Climate Risk Week
DESCRIPTION:The 5th annual ESG and Climate Risk Week looks beyond ESG and climate risks to provide practical scenarios on how companies are strengthening their climate disclosure. With near-term target-setting and action-planning\, companies will align with global commitments to a just and inclusive low-carbon transition. It is the only risk event that convenes the whole market in one place: from institutional investors to financial services\, as well as companies and solution providers. There is a need for collaboration among these groups so that investors and financial stakeholders can review a company’s ESG and climate disclosures and understand the risks and impacts. \n\nThe event will take place in a hybrid format on September 12th-14th 2023\, in-person and virtually. We will be hosting an in-person day at Hilton Bankside\, London\, UK.

SUMMARY:World Economic Forum 2023
DESCRIPTION:Cooperation in a Fragmented World\n\n\n\nUnder the theme ‘Cooperation in a Fragmented World’\, the Annual Meeting 2023 will bring together more than 2\,500 leaders from government\, business and civil society\, at a pivotal time for the world. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=yCOIG8jxhy4%3Ffeature%3Doembed\n\n\n\n\nThe Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have triggered significant transformations.

SUMMARY:5th ESG Summit with the 17th Asia Bond Markets Summit Swinging into action
DESCRIPTION:In association with\n\n\n\nGold Sponsors\n\n\n\n\n\nTurning commitment into action is crucial to achieving net-zero targets by 2050. COP26 has highlighted the urgency of climate issues and pushed countries to launch green action plans. Covid-19\, meanwhile\, has uncovered deficiencies in the social infrastructure\, particularly about protecting health and promoting the welfare of the people. Both require deliberate action to shift the world’s trajectory away from certain tragedies to a sustainable future. \nAsia\, which accounts for over 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions today\, must exercise resolve in its transition journey. In the wake of rapid urbanization and industrialization over the past two decades\, the region needs to enter a new phase that puts a premium on circular economy solutions\, resilient and renewable energy sources\, green cities and clean transport. \nThis is not only about leveraging resources wisely but unlocking the power of finance\, relying on more climate-friendly technology\, developing talent\, greening procurement processes and improving supply-chain resilience. Most importantly\, collaboration among governments\, the private sector and financial institutions is crucial to translate plans into actionable opportunities. \nSustainable finance offers a way to support these ambitions. The issuance of green\, social\, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds reached US$331 billion as of December 2021. The social bond market\, in particular\, doubled in size from the previous year\, reflecting how this pandemic is shining the light on the myriad of deficiencies in this area. The volume of green and sustainable loans has also soared\, reaching US$98 billion. \nHowever\, the rising popularity of sustainable finance has heightened the risk of greenwashing. Investors now require high-quality environmental\, social and governance (ESG) data and standardized taxonomy to ensure that their funds contribute towards delivering positive outcomes for the environment and society. And\, as investors grow in sophistication\, the demand for more diversified sustainable products will only grow. \nThe Asset Events is delighted to organise the 5th ESG Summit – Asia-Pacific’s leading ESG forum alongside the 17th Asia Bond Markets Summit\, the annual gathering of thought leaders\, policymakers\, issuers and investors. This multi-event summit event brings together ESG thought leaders from governments\, corporates\, organizations\, investment funds and financial institutions to discuss the rapidly-evolving sustainability landscape.

SUMMARY:Cutting Edge of Sustainable Capital Markets: Catastrophe Bonds and Outcome Bonds
DESCRIPTION:The World Bank is organizing an in-person event\, “The Cutting Edge of Sustainable Capital Markets: Catastrophe Bonds and Outcome Bonds” in Singapore on Monday\, October 31\, 2022\, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This event is supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Exchange. \nCatastrophe (cat) bonds enable sponsors to transfer and raise financing from capital markets for disaster risks. For investors\, cat bonds have low correlation with financial markets providing diversification from other asset types. Outcome bonds are increasingly being used to finance environmental\, social\, and governance outcomes. In outcome bonds\, investors fund a project and earn a return linked to the achievement of pre-agreed project outcomes. \nDuring this event\, investors and arrangers will discuss the current market outlook\, experience in investing in these bonds\, and the longer-term market development efforts for cat bonds and outcome bonds in Asia. \nFor more information\, please contact aamat@worldbank.org
