14:15-15:05Rethinking Impact to Finance the Sustainable Development Goals
Launch
Venue: Grand Auditorium

What and where exactly is the financing gap for the SDGs? What is the nature and scope of SDG financing flows today and what do they tell us about the barriers to financing the SDGs and how we might break through them?

Rethinking Impact to Finance the SDGs, UNEP FI’s position paper on the topic, offers a deeply innovative analysis of these burning questions, highlighting the as yet underexploited potential for reducing the SDG bill, crowding in the private sector, and optimizing public spending. The paper points to the financial value of positive impacts and the potential for developing business and public-private partnerships where impacts are no longer an externality but a core part of the business and financing model.

The paper explores the concepts of an impact-based economy and reiterates the case for a common language and a holistic approach to impact analysis and management.

Leaders Dialogue
Venue: Grand Auditorium

Delivering on the Paris Agreement means effectively limiting the global mean temperature increase to well below 2*C. This in turn means decarbonising the global economy and reaching Net Zero in greenhouse gas emissions early in the second half of this century.
The global society will only deliver on Paris if a new level of political ambition among Governments is matched by an equal level of commitment & determination from the world’s corporate and financial communities.

How can financial institutions now – by issuing climate-related strategies and setting climate-related targets - help unlock a virtuous cycle of climate action that will enlist all other stakeholders and ultimately move the needle?

Launch and Panel Discussion
Venue: Grand Auditorium

Enabling economic growth and safeguarding human well-being both depend on nature’s ability to continue to provide goods and services such as clean water and flood protection. Yet little is known about the link between the health of environmental assets and the economy, such as the risk from disruption of these services to businesses, their supply chains and the portfolios of financial institutions. The Natural Capital Finance Alliance, a joint initiative between UNEP FI and Global Canopy Programme, will launch an online tool that enables users to identify and assess natural capital risk globally and a framework for banks to integrate natural capital risks into financial risk management.

From aspiration to transformation: How the PSI is shaping the Global Sustainable Insurance Agenda
Leaders Dialogue
Venue: Grand Auditorium

Endorsed by the UN Secretary-General and insurance industry CEOs, the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) were launched at the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. Since then, the PSI has served as a global framework for the insurance industry to address environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities. Moreover, the PSI has led to the largest collaborative between the UN and the insurance industry, highlighting how the insurance industry—as risk managers, insurers and investors—can contribute to building resilient, inclusive and sustainable communities and economies.

What are key achievements, priorities and challenges for the PSI and its members? How is the PSI shaping the global sustainable insurance agenda and driving action and ambition to help realise the aims of global policy frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction?

Implementing the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures
High-Level Plenary

Venue: Grand Auditorium

Three years on from the ground-breaking UN Paris Agreement on Climate Change, UNEP FI’s banking, insurance and investment members are collaborating to develop the skills, capacities and tools required to more fully grasp the risks and opportunities presented by climate change. As such they are piloting implementation of the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to assess and disclose how their organisations are likely to be impacted by climate change and how they plan to respond. What have these pioneering efforts of forward-looking, scenario-based assessments revealed so far? Which barriers and bottlenecks need to be removed to enable wide-spread, routine and TCFD-aligned disclosures by a critical mass of both corporate and financial actors? Ultimately, what can the TCFD deliver, and what can it not?

Making finance and insurance inclusive
Parallel Session 4
Venue: Grand Auditorium

193 member states that adopted the 2030 Agenda committed to “leave no one behind” in their implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This means ensuring sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and social progress. Financial inclusion is positioned as an enabler of the SDGS, and features as a target in eight of the 17 goals.

UN Environment’s Insurance Development Goals for Cities launched with ICLEI in June 2018 aim to contribute to achieving SDG 11 to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Insurance Development Goal 3 is to develop solutions for unserved people and enterprises. Possible actions include offering risk assessment and risk management services and developing insurance solutions for unserved people and enterprises; and investing in companies that promote social and financial inclusion, such as those that provide inclusive financial services—including loans, insurance, savings and pensions for low-income people and micro, small and medium enterprises—and companies that generate positive social impact.

Hothouse Earth: The case for ecosystem resilience
Parallel Session 5
Venue: Salon D’Honneur

Imagine the Amazon rainforest as a dry savanna or widespread death of coral reefs. Recent scientific evidence suggests that ecosystem hotspots critical to the Earth’s climate resilience can tip into new stable states, and that a ”domino-like cascade of melting ice, warming seas, shifting currents and dying forests could tilt the Earth into a “hothouse” state beyond which human efforts to reduce emissions will be increasingly futile” (Source: The Guardian). These hotspots include the Amazon and Boreal forests, coral reefs and the Antarctic Ice Sheet. This session will present the scientific evidence of Hothouse Earth and discuss how financing decisions can create risks to global portfolios and provide solutions through conservation finance and other innovations to increase resilience in these hotspots.

Managing both sides of the house: ESG integration in the insurance industry
Parallel Session 7
Venue: Grand Auditorium

Since insurance companies are both insurers and investors, integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues entails addressing both insurance and investment activities. Jointly organised by UN Environment’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance Initiative (PSI) and the French Federation of Insurers (FFA), this session will highlight latest thinking, practices and initiatives by the PSI, FFA and their members in addressing ESG issues—such as climate change, natural disasters, ecosystem degradation, pollution, health risks, and human rights violations—in core insurance and investment strategies and operations.

The session will also explore the PSI’s pioneering work to develop global ESG guidance tailored for the insurance industry, and how the PSI can work together with insurance associations, governments and regulators, civil society organisations, and other key stakeholders in addressing ESG issues.

Green Tagging and Technology to Scale Up Green, Inclusive Lending
Parallel Session 8
Venue: Salon d'honneur

With energy efficiency representing nearly 75% of the investment gap for the realization of the European 2030 climate and energy targets it represents an untapped potential in the USD trillions globally. However, financial institutions are often not aware of the contribution they are already making to energy efficiency due to the integrated nature of EE improvements in mainstream mortgages or other lending activities.

This session will focus on the practice of green tagging, which is a systematic process to attach, for example, the energy efficiency performance of real estate collateral to mortgages and thereby identify the risk and value improvements of energy efficiency across banks’ lending portfolios.

How can finance contribute to fixing our broken food systems?
Parallel Session 9
Venue: Salon Napoleon

A number of scientific reports by the IPCC and articles in Nature and other journals point to the massive impact that unsustainable land use practices currently have in terms of deforestation, species loss, climate change, and the effects on the most vulnerable communities and rural smallholders who are at present mostly excluded from global agricultural value chains. The speed with which we can transition the way we produce food, but also how we consume and finance it, are among the most defining challenges of the 21st century.

UN Environment has initiated a number of projects and finance facilities with partners that aim to accelerate the transition to deforestation-free and inclusive commodity production that addresses the social and environmental problems currently associated with commodities such as palm oil, soy, beef, rubber and timber, in a way that is still commercially viable. This requires an integrated approach that focuses on production (supply), consumption (demand) and finance to fix our currently unsustainable and broken food system. Initiatives such as the Good Growth Partnership, the Green Fund, the Tropical Landscapes Finance Facility and AGRI3 are examples of facilities, projects and funds that aim to accelerate the change towards sustainable land use.

This session focuses on the role of governments and the finance sector to move from commitments to action. Hear first-hand from politicians, investors and a microfinance institution what they are doing at present, but also what challenges they encounter to scale up solutions direly needed. The audience is invited throughout the session to actively participate with probing questions.

Climate Finance Day

After the success of the three editions of Climate Finance Day; in 2015 at UNESCO Headquarters to initiate the mobilization of the financial sector ahead of COP21, in 2016 in Casablanca to move forward especially with Africa just before COP22, and in 2017 to accelerate actions on the eve of the One Planet Summit held to celebrate the second anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this Paris rendez-vous will annually take stock of the key achievements and the most innovative solutions on green finance issues.

The 4th edition of Climate Finance Day will build on the steady and growing financial sector mobilization worldwide and on the political momentum following the Paris Agreement and the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance. The event is the waypoint to take stock on private and public actors commitments and major achievements on green and climate finance issues. This year, it will focus on the progress made towards the greening of the global financial system. The event will also highlight the main issues for climate finance in Asia and especially in China. It will also showcase the development and outreach of innovative products, asset classes, and business lines in private equity and green loans.

Climate Finance Day is the annual flagship event of Finance for Tomorrow, which aims to mobilise the international financial sector on the fight against climate change and to showcase innovative solution provided both by the public and private market players.
