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? While the disruptions have been significant\, what trends are accelerating and what does the project pipeline look like? 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.

SUMMARY:Global Business Forum LATAM (UAE) - Towards a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:GBF Latin America will bring together public and private sector experts to explore the synergies between the UAE and Latin America and Caribbean which can help both to achieve the goal of a more resilient and digital economy. \n\nREFORM: REFORM will explore how countries in Latin America and the Gulf region are transforming their economies post-Covid\, looking at the key challenges they still face\, the changes in priorities brought by the pandemic and the reforms that are needed to move economies forward. How can governments create more efficient cooperation frameworks with businesses and ensure that reforms help people from across society?\nEMPOWER: EMPOWER will investigate how governments in Latin America and the Caribbean can champion the entrepreneur\, support the SMEs that are the backbones of their economies and help all businesses adapt to the increasingly digital world. How can governments and business shape the vision of future economic growth\, and how can Dubai’s digital expertise help support this transformation?\nGROW: GROW will examine trade\, foreign direct investment and regional integration as tools for growth. How governments and businesses in Latin America and the Caribbean– and their counterparts in the GCC – better collaborate for success?\n\nDAY TWO Thursday 24th March\nBoosting Growth by Combating Climate Change\nAs Latin America and the Caribbean countries feel the environmental effects of climate change- such as rising sea levels and stronger hurricanes in the Caribbean and longer dry seasons and shorter wet seasons in Latin America- they are also preparing for its impact on their economies. But the outlook is not all negative– the region could save $621bn by 2050 by decarbonising its energy and transport sectors and create 7.7m new jobs\, according to the UN. Countries such as Paraguay\, which has electricity generation produced by 100% renewable energy sources\, are leading the way\, as is the Gulf region\, which is expected to more than double its renewables capacity within the next five years. Jamaica also has set a target for renewables to contribute 50% of electricity production by 2030. This session will investigate the opportunities for economic growth in both regions that can come from combating climate change with renewable energy\, and how countries are financing renewable energy projects through use of instruments such as sustainable bonds. \nSpeakers Racquel Moses\, Chief Executive Officer\, Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator\, Trinidad & Tobago
