SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Loss & Damage Fund - A step towards climate justice?
DESCRIPTION:​​Those who contribute the least to greenhouse gas emissions often end up bearing the brunt of climate impacts. This is why\, for many\, the “loss and damage” caused by climate change is at its heart an issue of climate justice. \nClimate justice is more than a moral issue. It is an economic issue. \nAt COP27 in November 2022\, a Loss and Damage (L&D) Fund was established to help those most affected by the climate crisis. This fund is dubbed a historic achievement by many and a critical step towards achieving our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ensuring climate justice. \nThe L&D Fund is designed to provide financial support to vulnerable communities and countries that are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. This includes those who are suffering from extreme weather events\, sea level rise\, and other climate-related disasters. By providing financial support\, the fund will help these communities to recover and build resilience to future climate impacts. \nWe will be joined by speakers from finance\, Swiss Youth for Climate\, and business\, who will be sharing their perspectives on these important questions: \n\nHow should companies be held to account for Loss and Damage?\nWhat criteria will be used to determine which countries are eligible for funding?\nWhat types of activities will be supported by the Loss and Damage Fund?\nWhat measures can be taken to ensure that funds are used appropriately and not misappropriated by governments?\n\nThis event is brought to you in collaboration with the One Planet Lab. \nThe Loss and Damage Fund is a critical step towards achieving our SDGs and ensuring climate justice. We hope you can join us to discuss the importance of this fund and how we can ensure its success. \n\n–

SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Collaboration models to accelerate climate action in humanitarian settings
DESCRIPTION:Climate change affects every aspect of people’s lives\, both creating and exacerbating humanitarian crises around the world. Warming of the atmosphere\, ocean and land – driven by human activity – is causing climate variations and extremes all over the world\, with over three billion people living in places that are highly vulnerable to climate change. Action taken to date by the international community has been insufficient to prevent or reverse these trends. \nNo one can address these challenges alone. New solutions and inspiring partnerships are needed now to prevent further suffering\, the need for new collaboration models to bolster climate action and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities has never been more urgent. \nWe are pleased to partner with the International Committee of the Red Cross and Swiss Re Foundation to showcase the potential impact of philanthropic giving and the power of cross-sectoral partnerships to strengthen climate action.  \nProgramme: \n\n\n\n18:00 – 18:30\nRegistration\n\n\n18:30 – 18:40\nWelcome by GreenBuzz\n\n\n18:40 – 18:50\nWelcome by Stefan Huber\, Director at Swiss Re Foundation\n\n\n18:50 – 18:55 \nShort film screening\n\n\n18:55 – 19:05\nKeynote by Patrick Youssef\, Regional Director- Africa at International Committee of the Red Cross\n\n\n19:05 – 19:45\nPanel discussion moderated by GreenBuzz*\n\n\n19:45 – 20:00\nQ&A\n\n\n20:00 – 21:30\nApéro\n\n\n\n*Panelists: \n\nPatrick Youssef\, Regional Director- Africa at International Committee of the Red Cross\nCatalina Jaime\, Head of Climate and Conflict at Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre\nLuis Alvarado\, Head of GAEA at World Economic Forum

SUMMARY:Scope 3 Event Series: Beyond Borders - Protecting human rights in global supply chains
DESCRIPTION:With more than 450 million people working in supply chain-related jobs\, it is crucial that we address the environmental and social impacts associated with complex global supply chains. The current globalized economy requires businesses to source goods and services from suppliers that often span multiple countries with radically different legal\, regulatory\, and environmental practices. While these complex supply chains provide economic and social development opportunities\, they also pose significant environmental and social risks that many companies have been unable to effectively mitigate (United Nations Global Compact Progress Report 2019).\nThe UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and other international norms for companies are not legally binding\, and many companies have inadequate or no human rights due diligence measures in place. However\, there have been significant developments in this regard. The EU Parliament recently approved the highly anticipated Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). This directive is expected to be transposed across the EU in the next couple of years\, and will require companies to conduct due diligence on human rights and environmental-related issues in their operations and supply chains\, across various areas. Non-compliance with this directive can lead to substantial financial and criminal consequences\, as well as civil liabilities for damages caused by human rights or environmental issues.\nThe event will address key questions such as: \n\nWhat does the CSDDD mean for businesses?\nWhat are the challenges faced by companies in implementing human rights due diligence?\nHow can these challenges be overcome?\nHow are asset managers navigating these potential risks?\nHow can companies\, international organizations\, governments\, and civil society organizations work together to promote responsible supply chain practices?\n\nScope 3 is not only about emission reduction but also about addressing the broader environmental and social impacts associated with global supply chains.\n\n\nProgramme:\n\n\n\n18:00 – 18:30\nRegistration\n\n\n18:30 – 18:45\nWelcome by GreenBuzz & moderator Camilla Leopoldino (Vontobel)\n\n\n18:45 – 18:55\nSpeaker Input by Rachel Brooks\, Head of Executive Education at the University of St. Gallen (CSI-HSG) \n\n\n18:55 – 19:05\nSpeaker Input by  Daniel Vaughan-Whitehead\, Founder of the Fair Wage Network\n\n\n19:05 – 19:15\nSpeaker Input by Ally Wong\, Sustainable Investing/ ESG Researcher at Robeco\n\n\n19:15 – 19:45\nModerated Q&A*\n\n\n19:45 – 21:30\nApéro and Buzzing!\n\n\n\n  \n
