Integrating climate and nature action: Unlocking the biodiversity-climate nexus

The recently released Inevitable Policy Response (IPR) 2023 Forecast sees Direct Air Capture (DAC) emerging as an important negative emissions technology later this century, following delays in government action on climate and a breach of the 1.5C of warming limit in the 2030s. In this event, invited speakers will explore the rationale behind IPR’s expectation that DAC will rise in importance, and review the engineering challenges, policy considerations, and financing opportunities for the responsible investment community in the coming decades.

Jakob Thomae, Project Director, IPR
Jennifer Anderson, Managing Director, Co-Head of Sustainable Investment and ESG, Lazard Asset Management
Mark Fulton, Founder, IPR
Peter Webb, Visiting Fellow Oxford Institute for Energy Studies

IPR: 2023 Forecast Policy Scenario (FPS) - Investor Deep Dive

Plastic pollution is a global challenge and systemic issue, exposing financial institutions to a range of material financial risks. Every year we produce 300 million tonnes of plastic waste (more than the weight of the entire human population) and only 9% of this is recycled.

International action has been increasing. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (target 7), calls for the reduction of pollution risks from all sources by 2030, including ‘preventing, reducing, and working towards eliminating plastic pollution’ as part of this.

Additionally, last year saw the adoption of a resolution at the UN Environment Assembly, to end plastic pollution and create an international, legally binding agreement on plastics. This resolution was supported by 175 nations and is currently under development between now and 2024. Although policies and regulations on plastic use have risen dramatically in recent years, this agreement has the potential to make a substantive difference by harmonising goals and action from policymakers worldwide.

Ahead of the upcoming third round of negotiations in November to develop this agreement, this webinar explores:

Why plastic waste and pollution is a risk to financial institutions, including the opportunities of a circular economy for plastics to address climate and biodiversity risks;
How financial institutions can take action to address this issue; and
How financial institutions can engage with the UN global agreement currently under development.

Turning the tide on plastic waste and pollution

- Rosalind Share, Principal, Sustainability, Financial Reporting & Assurance Standards Canada

Investors require data to be decision-useful, in order to inform their investment process and (increasingly) their disclosure. Given the diversity in responsible investors, a key question for regulators, standard setters, investors and many others is: how do you decide what is decision-useful data? The session will consider this question from multiple perspectives and outline the PRI’s thinking through its forthcoming research on Investor Data Needs. Participants will leave the session with an overview of how the market is working to untangle responsible investors’ data needs and how they can engage with the PRI on its work.

Untangling data needs for responsible investors
