The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to undertake joint research on tool development and content creation related to climate change adaptation. This collaboration involves the development of both the Risk and Resilience Portal and AP-PLAT _ websites. The primary objective is to significantly enhance resilience to climate change in the Asia-Pacific region.

As we delve into this interactive panel discussion, I am reminded of the profound impact that effective climate governance can have on our organizations and communities. The experiences and best practices we share today will serve as valuable lessons for all of us. In Kazakhstan, we have seen how integrating climate considerations into our boardroom discussions can lead to more informed decision-making and innovative solutions. From financial disclosures to leveraging AI for climate risk assessment, each strategy plays a crucial role in our collective efforts to navigate the complex challenges of climate governance. I encourage all of us to actively engage in these discussions, share our successes and setbacks, and learn from each other's experiences. Together, we can fast forward towards more effective climate governance and ensure that our organizations are not only resilient but also pioneers in the transition to a sustainable future." #ClimateAction #Sustainability #BoardLeadership #ChapterZeroKazakhstan #ChapterZeroBrasil #ChapterZeroFrance

Carbon markets are essential for combating climate change, promoting economic efficiency, and fostering global cooperation toward a more sustainable future. It is therefore essential for standards to be put in place to ensure both integrity and transparency. The scope for standards and formal regulations in the carbon market can only expand from here on out and we are standing at a crucial juncture for both the players who will set the bar, and the corporates who will need to actively align with upcoming frameworks.
