Reaching clear definitions on Transition Finance that are ambitious, inclusive and flexible will mobilise finance to support the campaign for a net-zero future in accordance with international targets.<br /><br /> There is a pressing need for Asia-Pacific governance and markets to show climate leadership. The era of transition finance can offer the solutions for the region away from emission intensive activities.<br /><br /> Join CBI for an insightful discussion with guest speakers on the opportunity that Transition Finance poses for a sustainable future for ASEAN.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Recording</strong>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ygdELBsmCI"><u><span style="color:#0000ff;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ygdELBsmCI</span></u></a></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-organization field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Organization</div> <div class="field__item">Climate Bonds Initiative </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-link field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Link</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ygdELBsmCI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ygdELBsmCI</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-action" hreflang="en">Climate Action</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-finance" hreflang="en">Climate Finance</a></div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/webinar/transition-finance-series-asia-pacific-financing-sustainable-future" data-a2a-title="Transition Finance Series - Asia Pacific: Financing a Sustainable Future"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Mon, 05 Apr 2021 22:59:22 +0000 cmortelliti 1912 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Climate change and agriculture: Quantifying carbon stocks in soils and their evolution http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/webinar/climate-change-and-agriculture-quantifying-carbon-stocks-soils-and-their-evolution <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Climate change and agriculture: Quantifying carbon stocks in soils and their evolution</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Mon, 29/03/2021</span> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2021-03/Carbon%20Stock%20in%20Soil%20Webinar_SDGHD%20Webinar.png" width="485" height="315" alt="Women in Africa" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <div class="field field--name-field-dates field--type-daterange field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-04-14T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">Wed, 14/04/2021</time></div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="text-align-justify">This international technical webinar is part of the series organized by the FAO elearning Academy, Agreenium (l’alliance de la formation et la recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation, l'environnement et la santé globale) UN-ESCAP (United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) and Future Food Institute.

With rising incomes, urbanization, and population growth, the built surface is set to double by 2060. Most new buildings are highly inefficient when it comes to energy consumption. Given the current average lifetime of a building (30 to 80 years), there is an enormous risk of high-carbon lock in. Policy, tax, or other financial incentives can trigger investments in energy efficient construction and renovation and contribute to buildings’ resilience. This event will highlight global examples of NDC work in building efficiency and will discuss best practices for effective NDC building targets.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Webinar Recording:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8LIA4TV86k</p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-organization field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Organization</div> <div class="field__item">NDC Partnership</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-link field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Link</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8LIA4TV86k">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8LIA4TV86k</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg9-industry-innovation-and-infrastructure" hreflang="en">SDG9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg12-responsible-consumption-and-production" hreflang="en">SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-action" hreflang="en">Climate Action</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-finance" hreflang="en">Climate Finance</a></div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/webinar/mitigation-heavyweights-effective-ndcs-building-sector" data-a2a-title="Mitigation Heavyweights: Effective NDCS for the Building Sector"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Mon, 08 Mar 2021 20:05:01 +0000 cmortelliti 1898 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Malaysia Green Infrastructure Investment Opportunities Report http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/webinar/malaysia-green-infrastructure-investment-opportunities-report <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Malaysia Green Infrastructure Investment Opportunities Report</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Tue, 02/03/2021</span> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2021-03/Malaysia%20Green%20Infrastructure%20Investment%20Opportunities%20Report.png" width="480" height="315" alt="Webinar Banner" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <div class="field field--name-field-dates field--type-daterange field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-03-08T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">Mon, 08/03/2021</time></div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>This webinar event has passed.

sets of country members, development partners and institutional partners for one-on-one discussions, with the goal of extracting lessons learnt from policies, frameworks, and mechanisms implemented to enable green recovery. This discussion will bring together the expertise of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) to discuss the deployment of special fiscal instruments for green economic recovery. Participants will be invited to listen to the discussion live via Zoom or through the Partnership's social media channels and pose questions during a Q&A session at the end.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Recording: </strong><u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ndcpartnership/videos/335742314413662"><span style="color:#0000ff;">https://www.facebook.com/ndcpartnership/videos/335742314413662</span></a></u></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-organization field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Organization</div> <div class="field__item">NDC Partnership</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-link field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Link</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ndcpartnership/videos/335742314413662">https://www.facebook.com/ndcpartnership/videos/335742314413662</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg8-decent-work-and-economic-growth" hreflang="en">SDG8 Decent Work and Economic Growth</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-finance" hreflang="en">Climate Finance</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-action" hreflang="en">Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/webinar/green-recovery-network-live-discussion-deploying-special-fiscal-instruments-economic" data-a2a-title="Green Recovery Network Live Discussion: Deploying Special Fiscal Instruments For Economic Recovery"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Tue, 02 Feb 2021 05:06:09 +0000 cmortelliti 1865 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Decoding Article 6 of the Paris Agreement Version II http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/decoding-article-6-paris-agreement-version-ii <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Decoding Article 6 of the Paris Agreement Version II</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Mon, 11/01/2021</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="text-align-justify">More than 2 decades ago, the public debate focused largely on how to design a single global market for trading carbon units as the key instrument for addressing global climate change. The argument emphasized that since 1 ton of a greenhouse gas emitted anywhere in the world has the same climate change consequences for everyone, a single global market would be an economically desirable outcome, equalizing incentives to reduce emissions everywhere. Today, this late-1990s dream of a top-down global design seems far away, if not impossible. Instead, we see a multiplicity of regional, national, and even subnational markets emerging.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">This trend of multiplicity and fragmentation is reflected in the bottom-up architecture of the Paris Agreement. The decentralized approach under Article 6.2 offers countries flexibility and a choice in their approach. While such an approach opens for innovation and national adaptation of carbon market instruments, the lack of a centralized approach and harmonized standards for monitoring, reporting, and verification means that comparability could be difficult to attain.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The emerging complexity is also reflected in the ongoing Article 6 negotiations. The continuing struggle to come to an agreement over guidance and rules for Article 6 has created uncertainty over when the rules for international carbon markets under the Paris Agreement will be set, and what the implications for participants will be.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">At the same time, since many elements in the Paris Agreement are new, it should not be surprising that the process will take time. The Kyoto Protocol was established in 1997, yet it took 4 years to agree on the detailed rules for carbon market mechanisms, and these mechanisms were further developed and tested well in advance of the start of first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol in 2008. In this perspective, seeing Article 6 mechanisms in operation within 10 years from the adoption of the Paris Agreement is perhaps realistic.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Article 6 of the Paris Agreement provides for developing and using mechanisms designed by countries or using the Article 6.4 mechanism that is subject to centralized oversight by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The latter is likely to be attractive for countries with limited capacity or will to develop and design mechanisms on their own, or those that prefer to have an UN-quality stamp on the mitigation outcomes achieved.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-action" hreflang="en">Climate Action</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-finance" hreflang="en">Climate Finance</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-publications field--type-file field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Publications</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2021-01/article6-paris-agreement-v2.pdf" type="application/pdf" title="article6-paris-agreement-v2.pdf">Decoding Article 6 of the Paris Agreement Version II</a></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2021-01/Decoding%20Article%206%20of%20the%20Paris%20Agreement.png" width="407" height="521" alt="Report Cover" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/decoding-article-6-paris-agreement-version-ii" data-a2a-title="Decoding Article 6 of the Paris Agreement Version II"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 16:45:52 +0000 cmortelliti 1837 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org FX hedging for green bonds http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/webinar/fx-hedging-green-bonds <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">FX hedging for green bonds</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Wed, 07/10/2020</span> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2020-10/FX%20hedging%20for%20green%20bonds.png" width="480" height="315" alt="Webinar Image" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <div class="field field--name-field-dates field--type-daterange field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2020-10-07T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">Wed, 07/10/2020</time></div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>This online discussion will: </p> <ul><li>Describe the issues associated with local currency projects funded by offshore capital.</li> <li>Identify the tools available to financial structurers for hedging the FX risk.</li> <li>Discuss the potential problems associated with these instruments, in particular in underdeveloped markets.</li> </ul><p><br style="box-sizing:border-box;
