SUMMARY:Online Event: Core indicators for implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
DESCRIPTION:Leading companies around the world have taken steps to prioritise the SDGs and incorporate them into their core businesses. The PWC SDGs Challenge 2019 shows that 77% of responding South African companies mention the SDGs in their reporting in one form or another. The challenge is that while there are guidelines on how companies should report on the SDGs\, each company tends to develop their own approach based on the data they have available. \nSouth Africa\, along with other UN member states\, is encouraged to regularly submit their Voluntary National Review on the country’s progress and contribution towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Unfortunately\, the lack of SDG reporting standardisation in the private sector poses a significant challenge to any organisation’s attempts at compiling and disclosing company data to report in a consistent and comparable manner – until now. \nTo address this challenge\, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has developed SDG indicators that were identified based on key reporting principles\, selection criteria\, main reporting frameworks and company reporting practices around the world. These core indicators are intended as a common benchmark for sustainability and SDG reporting by enterprises\, and therefore\, represent the minimum disclosures that companies could do to be able to provide comparable baseline data on their contribution to the implementation of the SDGs. \nThe objective of this guidance is to provide practical information on how these indicators could be measured in a consistent manner and in alignment with countries’ needs on monitoring the attainment of the SDG agenda. \nIt is intended to serve as a tool to assist governments to assess private sector contribution to SDG implementation and to assist entities to provide baseline data on sustainability issues. \nYou are most welcome to join the NBI and the UNCTAD webinar if you are interested to learn more about the core indicators proposed by this guidance document and discover insights into how they align with what South African companies already report on. In addition\, we will cover how standardised data from the private sector can benefit national level reporting of the private sector contribution towards the implementation of the SDGs.   \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Inaugural Meeting of NBI's Gauteng Water Alliance
DESCRIPTION:The time for drought related planning for the Gauteng region\, is now. \nDelays in infrastructure development\, operational challenges\, recurrent droughts\, climate change and rising water demand\, all place Gauteng’s water security at risk. As highlighted in a recent report commissioned by the Gauteng Province\, ‘Gauteng must never take its water security for granted.’  \nThe Gauteng Water Alliance will focus on the following: \n\nProviding a strong\, coherent private sector response to the risks facing the Vaal System; and\nSupporting all spheres of government and key players such as Rand Water in the implementation of their programmes\, to strengthen Gauteng’s water resilience.\n\nAs was made abundantly clear in Cape Town recently\, water is everyone’s business. \nEffective private sector collaboration can make a difference\, as evidenced by the work of the National Business Initiative (NBI) and its members in both Richards Bay (through the uMhlathuze Water Stewardship Partnership) and in Cape Town (through the NBI Western Cape Drought Task Force). \nPlease join us as we work to understand the water risks facing Gauteng\, what plans and initiatives are underway; and map out the role of the private sector in the year ahead. \nKindly RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Interactive Workshop on the Biological Diversity Protocol
DESCRIPTION:Companies already use various approaches and tools to measure changes in biodiversity across their value chain\, yet they lack a standardised\, comparable\, credible and unbiased methodology to help them consolidate and report their biodiversity impacts. \nThe Biological Diversity Protocol (BD Protocol) is therefore being developed in close collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders and is designed as a comprehensive biological diversity accounting and reporting framework. This will help you produce the credible and unbiased information needed for various biodiversity-related applications\, from management to disclosure. The BD Protocol is an output of the Biodiversity Disclosure Project (BDP)\, managed by the National Biodiversity and Business Network (NBBN) of South Africa and hosted by the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT). \nJoin us at this interactive workshop that provides an opportunity to unpack the elements of the BD Protocol. \nPlease RSVP here. \n

SUMMARY:SANBI/NBI Partnership to Build a Pipeline for GCF Adaptation Funding
DESCRIPTION:Event 1: An update on the latest climate science with Professor Bob Scholes and Professor Francois Engelbrecht \nGiven our vulnerability to climate change and the international challenge of agreeing appropriate ambition amongst countries\, it is a strategic priority for stakeholders to work together to build the resilience of South Africa. A recent press statement by the Whitehouse reemphasised the US view of the Paris agreement\, “The President announced he is pulling the United States out of the fraudulent\, ineffective\, and one-sided Paris Climate Accord.” If this kind of leadership persists globally\, we will have to plan for a significantly different (hotter and dryer) climate in South Africa. \nPlease join us as we kick off our new partnership to build a pipeline for GCF Adaptation Funding for South Africa with a comprehensive update on the status of climate science with two of South Africa’s leading climate scientists. \nContext: \nThe National Business Initiative (NBI) has been working on sustainable finance projects for several years. We have worked with public and private finance institutions\, aid organisations\, major international donor organisations\, the World Bank and finance research organisations (like the Bertha Centre). We hear repeatedly that there isn’t a shortage of money\, there are just not the right projects for funding. \nThis shortage of projects is particularly acute in adaptation\, and even more so when considering the need for biodiversity-based adaptation. It is for this reason that the NBI is partnering with South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) to develop a pipeline of adaptation and biodiversity-based adaptation projects for funding by the Green Climate Fund.  SANBI are an accredited entity for adaptation funding in South Africa and the shortage of projects locally and globally represent a significant chance to enhance our national resilience to climate change. \nThe NBI and SANBI are therefore launching a 3 phase project designed to help identify areas of vulnerability\, areas where our member companies are working on adaptation projects already and where\, through collaboration\, we can scale-up these projects to enhance impact and to attract up to US$50 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Phase 1 grounds us all in the latest information on the climate science\, adaptation and finance. Phase 2 will look at specific project identification\, and Phase 3 will shortlist to a few high promise projects with which we can approach the GCF. \nThe first event of phase 1 is an update of the status of the science of climate change. It has been a busy year for the IPCC.  Since the release of the 5th assessment report\, that summarises all the available science\, they have released a few other key reports. The October 2018 1.5-degree report looks at the differences between 1.5-degree and 2-degree world and concludes to avoid crossing critical thresholds we should aim for 1.5-degrees of warming. The special reports on climate\, land and oceans\, drill down to new levels of insight. \nFuture events in phase 1 will include the following topics: \n\nAn introduction to and the state of climate finance;\nAdaptation finance examples and best practice; and\nThe role of biodiversity and ecosystem-based finance.\n\nWe therefore invite you to join the NBI and SANBI for a discussion on the outputs of the latest science with some of South Africa’s leading Scientists. \nPlease RSVP here should you wish to attend this event.

SUMMARY:Exploring opportunities offered by low carbon economic transition scenarios in response to climate change and related global economic trends
DESCRIPTION:The transition to global net-zero economies by 2050 is underway and accelerating. Business needs to engage in these conversations or risk undermining their competitiveness. We need to understand the risk\, how planning is done by government and what role business could or should play. \nJoin us for an exclusive\, member only event where we share an update on the NBI’s (National Business Initiative’s) research and an overview of government’s planning processes. In addition\, we will deal with the complexity of a Just Transition in the context of transition ambition as well as discuss the need to support government in enhancing the detail and ambition in the NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) and LEDS (Low Emissions Development Strategy)\, in the build up to COP26 in 2020. The NDCs encapsulate each country’s contribution to reducing carbon emissions and adapting to climate change\, as required by Article 4 of the Paris Agreement. While the NDC sets a country’s ambition\, the LEDS document should lay out the plan for how the NDC goals will be reached. \nThis will be a highly interactive session where you will be given the opportunity to guide our research. We look forward to your participation. \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:CDP Climate Change 2018 Soft Launch – KwaZulu-Natal
DESCRIPTION:CDP Climate Change 2018 Soft Launch – KwaZulu-Natal \nJoin us at the launch of the NBI’s 2018 CDP South Africa report in KwaZulu-Natal where we will use CDP data to track the progress by companies in South Africa in scaling up climate action and ambition.    \nClimate change is an economic issue. Building on the momentous Paris Agreement\, nations\, states and cities around the world are firmly transitioning towards a low carbon economy. In addition\, the world’s largest companies (through We Mean Business) are independently transforming their business models to support this low carbon transition. These economic changes will have a profound impact on the competitiveness of South African businesses. \nCompanies have been responding to CDP in South Africa for over ten years. The data has shown South African responding companies to be global leaders\, thus enhancing their competitiveness\, but in 2016 CDP data hinted at early warning signs that South African companies may be faltering. In 2018\, with changes to CDP scoring methodology and questionnaires\, we have seen a drop in CDP scores\, with little improvement made to increase climate ambition and enhance target setting. In order for South Africa to be competitive in a global economy we need to ensure that our strong climate leadership (that we have maintained over the years) translates to ambitious actions that result in “required by science” emissions reductions. \nJoin us at the KZN soft launch of the NBI’s 2018 CDP South Africa report for new insights that the updated questionnaire and inclusion of the TCFD reporting framework has provided\, by clicking on the following: uMhlanga\, 14 June: The Square\, Boutique Hotel. \nFor more information kindly contact Geeta Morar.
