SUMMARY:Global Sustainable Development Report 2023 Consultation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Latin America and the Caribbean Regional\nThe Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) was originally mandated by the United Nations Member States in the outcome document of the 2012 “Rio +20” conference on sustainable development\, “The Future We Want”. Three years later\, as part of the 2030 Agenda\, Member States reaffirmed the importance of the GSDR and requested in 2016 that it would be written by an independent group of\nscientists (IGS). The first report was published in 2019. The next report is scheduled for release in September 2023. The IGS\, appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General\, consists of 15 leading experts from the \nnatural and social sciences\, representing developed and developing countries. The current group is co- chaired by Prof. Imme Scholz of Germany and Prof. J. Jaime Miranda of Peru. \nAs requested by Member States\, the GSDR aims to strengthen the science-policy interface and to provide evidence-based guidance on global sustainable development issues and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The report is an important instrument to inform the deliberations at the quadrennial Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit (next held in September 2023)\, where it is presented to\nheads of state\, who take stock on the progress towards the 2030 Agenda. The 2023 report will be launched at the half-way point on the 2030 Agenda when decision-makers will be looking for practical solutions that can accelerate progress. \nThe 2023 GSDR will incorporate a broad range of existing scholarship on SDG implementation. It will build on the 2019 GSDR which identified four levers for change as well as adding a fifth lever on capacities: \n\nGovernance\nEconomy and finance\,\nIndividual and collective action\nScience and technology\nCapacities\n\nIt will also build from the six entry points identified in the 2019 GSDR where interlinkages among the SDGs are especially strong such that interventions can address many goals and targets: \n\nStrengthening human wellbeing and capabilities\nShifting toward sustainable and just economies\nBuilding sustainable food systems and healthy nutrition patterns\nAchieving energy decarbonization with universal access to energy\nPromoting sustainable urban and peri-urban development\nSecuring the global environmental commons\n\nFor the 2023 GSDR\, the IGS will expand on the 2019 report with a focus on accelerating action and overcoming impediments that stand in the way of making the levers work together toward transformation through the entry points. Acceleration and enabling transformations is critical as the world struggles to rebuild in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. The time dynamics of transformation and implementation are explicitly addressed — moving from emergence toward acceleration and finally to stabilization. The focus will be on identifying concrete recommendations and tools grounded in evidence for accelerating the implementation of the SDGs and on making the field of science more supportive to this acceleration.

SUMMARY:Devex @ COP 27
DESCRIPTION:On November 10\, Devex will host a series of provocative conversations on global development and climate change on the sidelines of the COP 27 negotiations in person in Sharm El-Sheik. This won’t be your standard COP event. Step outside of the blue zone as we spotlight how low- and middle-income countries are included — or not — in these critical conversations while being the most impacted. We’ll dig into cross-cutting issues such as health\, food systems\, migration\, and finance\, and how climate intersects with every facet of achieving the sustainable development goals.

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:Outreach & Diversity in the Environmental and Cultural Sectors
DESCRIPTION:Environmental conditions such as flooding or hurricanes can result in temporary or permanent migration or displacement. Such events and movement patterns are anticipated to increase under a changing climate. This can result in economic\, societal\, and cultural losses\, as well as detriments to health. Some people are more likely to suffer than others. What steps might be taken to help make communities more resilient and in ways that would enable them to participate in a Just Transition and reconstruction more fully? To address the dynamic and development of change in complex socio-ecological systems\, panelists consider issues of resilience\, adaptability and transformability across multiple scales. There is an overarching concern in addressing risk\, disaster\, humanitarian aid\, and rebuilding post-disaster and whether it is possible to foster resilience at small\, manageable scales when confronted with larger governance structures and entrenched patterns of resource accumulation that are less resilient.

SUMMARY:2nd Caribbean ESG & Climate Financing Summit
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd annual Caribbean ESG & Climate Financing Summit arrives in Trinidad & Tobago\, in-person for the first time\, this November 29-30. \nLaunched in 2021\, the inaugural event gathered 300 corporate\, government and finance leaders\, in what was a clear indication of the significance of ESG and climate finance to the competitiveness of the Caribbean. \nFor Caribbean corporates\, ESG is no longer optional; it’s urgent: access to capital and trading partners will depend upon it. For Caribbean governments facing down extraordinary threats from climate change\, access to climate-linked capital is critical. But in some quarters\, the case still needs to be made. \nThe only forum in the region that gathers corporates\, sovereigns\, lenders and investors\, the 2022 Caribbean ESG & Climate Financing Summit represents an opportunity to make a leap forward and to mainstream a new way of operating\, and a new financing ecosystem\, for the region. \nThe transformation is underway. Now we need to implement and accelerate. Be there for the region’s only ESG and climate financing event\, as we make what happens next.

SUMMARY:UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15)
DESCRIPTION:Despite on-going efforts\, biodiversity is deteriorating worldwide and this decline is projected to worsen with business-as-usual scenarios. The UN Biodiversity Conference will convene governments from around the world to agree to a new set of goals for nature over the next decade through the Convention on Biological Diversity post-2020 framework process. The framework sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to bring about a transformation in society’s relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that\, by 2050\, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled. \nThe Conference will also look at the implementation of the protocols of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) that deal with the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of nature\, and the safe transport\, handling and labelling of Living Modified Organisms. \nThe first part of COP-15 included the opening of the Meetings and addressed agenda items that were identified as essential for the continuation of the operations of the Convention and the Protocols by the Bureau. This included meetings about administrative matters and technical issues related to CBD programmes. \nThere was also a high-level segment on 12 and 13 October 2021. Participants focused on the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. \nAll sessions at COP-15 will be streamed live at cbd.int/live and the main schedule is also available. \nInformation on Media Accreditation \n \nFollow the latest details about COP-15 using the hashtag #COP15 on social media.

SUMMARY:UN 2023 Water Conference
DESCRIPTION:Water is a fundamental part of all aspects of life. Water is inextricably linked to the three pillars of sustainable development\, and it integrates social\, cultural\, economic and political values. It is crosscutting and supports the achievement of many SDGs through close linkages with climate\, energy\, cities\, the environment\, food security\, poverty\, gender equality and health\, amongst others. With climate change profoundly affecting our economies\, societies and environment\, water is indeed the biggest deal breaker to achieve the internationally agreed water-related goals and targets\, including those contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Read the vision statement of the Water Conference.
