SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - Thematic Event: EU Taxonomy & Greenwashing
DESCRIPTION:“Green” investment products are on the surge\, and the trend is growing. As sustainable investing moves to the new normal\, we discuss how the EU taxonomy has provided the necessary framework to help investors evaluate the environmental impact of their investments. \nThe EU taxonomy is part of the EU Action Plan that includes a number of new sustainable finance regulations and seeks to flow capital to more sustainable businesses. It was introduced in June 2020 to drive ESG criteria into investment decisions. \n“If it works properly\, the EU taxonomy will help determine the sustainability of all activities and stop financial players falsely labeling unsustainable investments as climate-friendly. The taxonomy’s classification should inform public and private investment decisions\, and it is a new powerful tool to make the EU economy environmentally and socially sustainable.” – writes Sébastien Godinot\, Economist at the WWF European Policy Office\, in this article in March 2020. \nTherefore\, the desired effect is to protect both investors and companies against accusations of greenwashing and to provide a cohesive framework to assess investments and loans. So\, more than a year after the EU taxonomy has come to effect\, let’s ask: \n\nHas the EU taxonomy really helped tackle greenwashing in finance?\nWhat are the plans to fully incorporate all ESG measures?\nWhat has been the impact on reporting systems\, due diligence processes and investment strategies?\nHow has the Swiss financial system responded?\nHave we moved from good disclosure to channeling funds to more sustainable businesses?\nHave consumers benefited from the clarity?

SUMMARY:Informal Drinks - The Road to Carbon-Free Energy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for these Informal Drinks after work on March 17th to discuss how we can shift to carbon-free energy! Electrification is critical to decarbonise various sectors. However\, it is not enough anymore for a company to claim that they use 100% renewable energy as that does not necessarily equate to carbon-free energy. Each hour of energy consumption must be matched by an hour of carbon-free energy generation. \nWe are not on track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7)\, which demands access to affordable\, reliable\, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. The United Nations have set an ambitious goal with their 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact and have put together a set of principles and actions that stakeholders across the energy ecosystem can commit to in order to drive systemic change. \nSo how do we embrace the rapidly developing technologies and move away from our reliance on fossil fuels? How do we use transition technologies such as nuclear and natural gas and how do we build the needed renewable energy infrastructure required? \nThis topic is very much in the media and public conscience but what is the latest research and how can industries and individuals work together to build the carbon-free future we all aim for. To achieve net-zero emissions across the global economy by 2050\, electricity must decarbonize even faster\, while becoming the core of a just and accessible energy system. \nAt this event\, you will hear from Christian Schaffner\, Executive Director\, Energy Science Center (ESC) ETH Zürich to give you some food for thought. Afterwards\, you are invited to simply mingle and have a drink with us and the GreenBuzz community.
