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:Informal Drinks: Greenwashing
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, the oil giant Shell announced its aim to spend between $2 billion and $3 billion per year on renewables and energy solutions. It also reported having directed 12 percent of its capital expenditure to these areas. However\, international NGO Global Witness claims that the company directed just 1.5 percent of its capital expenditure to developing renewable energy sources\, such as wind and solar power\, with the rest of the spending going toward gas. As a result\, Shell is now facing accusations of greenwashing and misleading investors (see Washington Post 2023). We see similar examples in the press every day. \nGreenwashing refers to the practice of making false or misleading claims about how a company’s products are environmentally sound and involves making an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into thinking that a product or company is more environmentally friendly than it actually is. \nAs businesses and organizations increasingly try to position themselves as environmentally and socially responsible\, it can be difficult to discern genuine sustainability efforts from mere marketing stunts. \nJoin us and Greenwishing on June 21st to discuss the following questions: \n\nHow can we recognize Greenwashing?\nWhat regulations are coming to prevent Greenwashing?\nHow do we call out examples?\nGreenwashing accusations have damaged important Green initiatives\, how do we prevent this?\n\nBy becoming better informed\, we can help to hold businesses and organizations accountable for their environmental and social claims and contribute to a more sustainable future!
