SUMMARY:ESG Portfolio Management: Optimizing Opportunities & Performance
DESCRIPTION:More investment portfolio managers are becoming increasingly aware of the significant impact ESG factors can have on a company’s long-term financial performance. They acknowledge that companies with robust ESG practices are better equipped to handle risks and seize opportunities\, whereas those with weaker ESG practices may face reputational and regulatory risks\, ultimately affecting their financial performance. \nInstitutional investors are also facing mounting pressure from stakeholders to take ESG factors into account when making investment decisions. Consequently\, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become a crucial aspect of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. Nevertheless\, the implementation of this strategy presents substantial challenges\, such as aligning ESG priorities\, dealing with laborious manual data collection processes\, and lacking sufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance. \nThe audience is invited to attend a webinar hosted by Archer and BPM\, where they can gain valuable insights into the current developments\, obstacles\, and potential benefits of ESG portfolio management. The webinar will cover the best approach for portfolio management companies to establish and maintain a sustainable ESG program\, as well as how Archer can enhance ESG performance management and reporting practices to optimize management decision-making.

SUMMARY:Closing the loop: Nutrient recovery from Wastewater
DESCRIPTION:Wastewater\, a severe source of pollution faced by many countries globally\, enters our environment in large quantities and affects the health of humans and ecosystems alike. This also has a major impact on socio-economic activities. Water is a finite resource and the demand from a rapidly growing population puts additional stress on our freshwater bodies and agricultural practices; and sustainable wastewater management shows great promise to fulfil this growing demand. \nHalf of the world’s food security is dependent on nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer use. Often an excessive application of these fertilizers ends up in our water bodies as agricultural run-off\, generating wastewater rich in nutrients. When this wastewater pollutes freshwater and marine ecosystems\, it can lead to loss of aquatic biodiversity caused by eutrophication and the creation of dead zones. The recovery and reuse of nutrients from wastewater could offset 13.4% of the global demand from fertilizers\, hence addressing the social\, environmental\, and economic costs from wastewater. \nThis webinar\, jointly organised by the Global Wastewater Initiative (GWWI) and the Global Partnership on Nutrients Management (GPNM)\, taking place on 16 August 2023\, 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM Nairobi time\, aims to discuss the potential of treating wastewater to recover\, recycle\, and reuse nutrients\, with a focus on nitrogen and phosphorus\, and showcases examples and case studies from the work done in this area.

SUMMARY:ESG: Dispatch from the Front Lines of Accountable Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\n\nOver 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.

SUMMARY:Scaling up solutions for sustainable wastewater and nutrient management
DESCRIPTION:Recovering resources\, including nutrients\, from wastewater is an effective way to tackle several issues related to sustainable development. However\, the effectiveness of this solution depends on building blocks such as governance\, financing\, human\, technical and institutional capacity\, as well as awareness raising. \nThe side event aims to discuss the challenges and opportunities of recovering nutrients from wastewater as well as ways to scale up solutions for sustainable wastewater and nutrient management. It will also draw the attention of the audience to practical examples by institutions working to address them through innovative financial and practical solutions on the ground. \nThe event aims to generate synergies among actors involved in this sector and enhance collaboration especially between financial institutions\, governments\, UN agencies\, and other relevant stakeholders. \nThe event will be held online only\, Wednesday 23 August 2023\, 9:30-10:00 AM Stockholm time.  \nRegister for the event at: worldwaterweek.org/tickets and look for Session ID 10945. \nMore on UNEP’s participation at World Water Week.

SUMMARY:Wastewater Surveillance for Public Health and Environmental Management
DESCRIPTION:Through this side event\, the organizers aim to raise awareness around the benefits of wastewater-based monitoring and surveillance and enhance cooperation among relevant stakeholders. The event also aims to foster collaboration between water service providers and health institutions and encourage surveillance on communicable and non-communicable diseases using wastewater. Finally\, the event aims to bring together experts and policymakers to highlight best practices on the use of wastewater-based monitoring and surveillance to detect waves of COVID-19 and beyond. \nThe side event will leverage on the existing global partnerships established on wastewater-based monitoring surveillance in the past years across the world\, linking sewage surveillance experts to governments and policymakers. The side event aims at bringing together relevant stakeholders and representatives from different sectors such as the wastewater sector\, centers of communicable diseases\, global and regional health initiatives\, policymakers\, the private sector\, research organizations\, water associations\, globally active water operators and major actors to discuss the way forward towards establishing a worldwide system of wastewater-based monitoring and surveillance. \nThe event will be organized in person at World Water Week in Room A3\, on Thursday 24 August 2023\, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM Stockholm time. Furthermore\, there is a possibility to follow it online.  \nRegister for the event at: worldwaterweek.org/tickets and look for Session ID 10944. \nMore on UNEP’s participation at World Water Week.
