Climate Corporate Governance for Financial Institutions - Building resilience to climate change risk
During the past decade, with extreme weather causing hundreds of USD billions of
losses per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful
practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the
main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.
Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations
and guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks to help integrate
sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are
developing new ways to anticipate how climate-related risks could impact businesses
and financial institutions.
But is this enough?
To assess whether the financial sector is adequately equipped, the EBRD is brought
together representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience
of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate-related risk management.
The event discuseed ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response
via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk
management, climate-related capital market products.

I'm like a proud mother, the caterpillars that turned into cocoons hatched into these lovely butterflys today.
Isn't nature wonderful

This section of the Berlin Wall sits outside Imperial War Museum London. The colourful artwork with the positive Change Your Life message was created by the graffiti artist 'Indiano', and is said to have been inspired by a Rainer Maria Rilke poem. The colourful front of the Wall was on the West side, whereas the reverse side – facing East – is dull and grey and forbidding.

I feel THAT kind of change is coming. When you hear change, don't you think of the dreaded M word? No, not magical or marvelous but MENOPAUSE. Well, I am only moments away from the next hot flash. So, get a grip! (I am telling myself) For the group, Parallel Vision This week's word is Change.

Interventions and innovation can lower the price of individual foods, but healthy eating depends on access to a mix of foods from diverse sources. How has the overall cost of meeting dietary needs changed over time worldwide, and in Africa and South Asia specifically? What determines the cost of a healthy diet? And how does affordability affect dietary intake and health status in different locales?
To answer these questions, Changing Access to Nutritious Diets in Africa and South Asia (CANDASA) has been using new food price indexes that account for food substitutions to meet nutritional needs to evaluate food systems all over the world, including in Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Malawi, and Tanzania.
This seminar will present the outcomes of CANDASA’s work to date, with a panel discussion featuring field researchers from each country to discuss the local and global implications of their results.
Research by Tufts and IFPRI on this topic is supported by UKAid and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

La vida cambia, y a veces lo hace en segundos. Puedes estar de lo más feliz por algo o alguien, y al medio minuto las lágrimas sustituyen esa magnífica sonrisa que ha brillado en tu rostro durante los días anteriores, ¡o durante esa mismísima mañana!
Las cosas cambian, la vida cambia, y sólo nos queda conformarnos con lo que vendrá y esperar que el futuro nos haga olvidar todo lo desagradable; o quizás no olvidarlo, pero sí suavizarlo.
