SUMMARY:Ensuring a Just Energy Transition across the Commonwealth
DESCRIPTION:About the Critical Conversations virtual event series\nWith great disruption and uncertainty comes unimagined opportunities for progress and change.\nWe need much better ideas—and more powerful\, diverse voices—to hold ourselves and our governments to account. We need these voices and ideas to lead the transformation of systems and attitudes that entrench inequality and marginalise so many. \nCritical Conversations will ask—and try to answer—the big\, important questions of our age. How do we harness the best of humanity—the forces of love\, compassion\, equality\, and justice—to advance our common future and protect our planet? How do we acknowledge the past in ways that advance a common vision for the future? How do we work together to build or re-fashion our institutions so that they support a world that leaves no one behind? \nThe online series will bring together dynamic and diverse speakers to deliver frank and fresh perspectives on questions that really matter to the Commonwealth’s 2.5 billion citizens. While the series will cover a broad range of topics\, the central themes come back to the core values and principles of the Commonwealth including democracy\, human rights\, participatory governance and the rule of law.

SUMMARY:Global Maritime Forum’s Annual Summit 2022
DESCRIPTION:Climate Action in Shipping: Progress towards Shipping’s 2030 Breakthrough\n\nShipping\, powered by fossil fuels\, transports around 90% of global trade and accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Under business-as-usual\, emissions may increase by 130% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels. To align with the 1.5C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement\, and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050\, scalable zero emission fuels should make up 5% of international shipping fuels by 2030. Progress towards Shipping’s 2030 Breakthrough report assesses progress to a goal of having scalable zero emission fuels make up 5% of international shipping fuels by 2030. In this livestream\, lead authors\, Katharine Palmer\, Shipping Lead – Climate Champions Team and Dr Domagoj Baresic\, Research Associate – UMAS\, will present findings from the report. \n

SUMMARY:CAREC Conference and Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 CAREC Conference and Exhibition\, under the theme ‘Navigating the Course of Power Sector Modernisation and Combatting Climate Change with Green Electricity and Resilient Infrastructure’\, will particularly focus on learning and development through educational and insightful sessions on power grid resilience\, RE expansion\, alternative energy services\, and e-mobility. CARILEC envisions that the critical examination of these topics will tremendously assist energy sector professionals\, in their thrust to reduce fossil-fuel generation and carbon emissions\, thereby bringing the region closer to a more affordable and reliable electricity supply in a sustainable future. This conference explores how to drive value\, overcome challenges\, and increase business capabilities by sharing best-practices\, lessons learnt\, expertise\, and resources among regional and international energy industry leaders.

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.
