The UN Global Compact Academy is hosting a webinar on how companies can deliver climate-nature-health co-benefits.
The health costs associated with climate change, including conditions linked to air pollution, undernutrition, extreme weather events and infectious disease, are immense. Climate change is already impacting the future of work in significant ways - affecting occupational safety and health as well as productivity. This makes tackling climate change the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century.
Join this Academy session to learn more about the climate-nature-health nexus. Participants will hear from experts and business leaders on how health risks linked to climate and nature impact businesses, and why tackling these crises jointly is a business opportunity. This session will provide your company with priority actions in five areas: air pollution, food systems, nature and biodiversity, water resilience and just transition. It will feature practical company examples outlining how these priority actions can help deliver climate-nature-health co-benefits.
This webinar is held on Zoom on 29 September 2021 at 9:30 AM EST (16:30 Finnish time). The language of the event is English.
Discussions on the future of the SDGs beyond 2030 will begin in September 2027. While the format and process of the expected negotiations remains to be decided upon, and the main focus of UN Member States, international organisations as well as other actors and stakeholders is on implementing the SDGs, particularly the science community and civil society have started mapping possible scenarios and narratives around the post-2030 agenda process.
Join the CoP team for a live Q&A office hours session, where they will walk through key requirements and share important updates for the 2026 Communication on Progress (CoP) reporting cycle.
In this seminar, we will explore sustainable business and green investments from multiple perspectives: where the greatest opportunities lie, what risks need to be managed, how regulation and financing instruments can be turned into strategic advantages, and how timing influences competitiveness.
