SUMMARY:Sustainable Innovation Forum at COP27
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Innovation Forum  \n\n\n\n\nWith 1.5 degrees in jeopardy\, we need bold collaboration and brave action at COP27. The Sustainable Innovation Forum 2022 (now in its 13th year) will convene over 500 heads of state\, ministers\, CEO’s\, investors\, multilateral dignitaries\, and city leaders in the largest multi stakeholder event at the COP27 negotiations. The Forum aims to enable forge cross-sector partnerships between the non-state actor community\, to shift climate action out of silos and leverage ambitious\, collaborative global efforts to keep warming within 1.5 degrees. \n\n\n\n\n\nDate: Day 2 – November 10 2022\nTime: 14:30 – 15:10 GMT + 2 \nPanel: How can data\, digitisation and automation secure real decarbonisation and climate action in line with <1.5 degrees warming? \nDigitisation and IoT are generating more data than we know how to use. This data enables us to track\, monitor\, measure and optimise\nproduction across our supply chains as well as drive efficiencies and futureproofing across the built environment. But there are trade-offs\nto manage from increasing digitisation including unemployment\, energy use of data centres and security risks.\n• How can we ensure digital solutions deliver our human and planetary needs?\n• How can data driven disruption help us decarbonise energy at the exponential rates we require?\n• How is digitisation set to transform different sectors’ adaptation and mitigation efforts; industry\, buildings\, transport and most\ncrucially energy?\n• How can digitisation drive out inefficiencies in the industrial sectors?

SUMMARY:The 6th Caribbean Infrastructure Forum (CARIF)
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Caribbean Infrastructure Forum (CARIF) returns\, live and in-person\, at the Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove\, Miami this September 19-20\, 2022 \nInvestment in state of the art\, sustainable infrastructure will play a critical role in stimulating economic growth\, accelerating decarbonization\, and building resilience across the Caribbean. \nBut in the face of extreme weather events and extraordinary economic and public-health challenges\, how have the infrastructure priorities of island governments – and the demands of local and visiting populations – changed?

Green and resilient is touted as the ultimate goal but how – and with what funding – can projects be delivered? And who is tendering\, bidding\, investing\, financing and building the next generation of infrastructure across the region? \nMore than ever\, the region’s infrastructure market needs a meeting place\, a venue to pollinate ideas\, originate projects\, and source financing. Now\, in its 6th year\, and firmly established as the go-to regional infrastructure event\, the market needs CARIF. \nJoin us this September 19-20 when we bring together more than 250 leaders from 30 countries to shape the future of infrastructure and capital projects for the Caribbean.
