    Transforming Transportation 2024

    For millions of people around the world, transportation is a lifeline – to jobs, education and opportunity. But the way people and goods move is also a significant contributor to climate change. As the world reaches for solutions, many are looking to the transport sector for answers that ensure a more livable planet. Financing is a core theme of Transforming Transportation 2024, which will bring together global leaders and transport professionals to explore how all stakeholders can mobilize resources for greener, safer, resilient transport for all, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

    During the two-day event, and week-long side activities, transport and financial leaders and professionals will take a deep dive into the urgent need for climate financing in transportation; the correlation between investments, economic growth, and climate targets; and the role that organizations of all kinds, from development banks to community groups, can play in driving transformative change.

    Corporate Impact Measurement & Management

    Both corporate social investors (CSIs) and other impact investors share the common goal of fostering positive social and environmental change through Impact Measurement and Management (IMM), but CSIs may introduce variations due to their corporate ties. CSIs have the potential of integrating social impact into the business context and IMM plays a crucial role in achieving this, using language and data that resonate with corporate colleagues and ensure meaningful impact metrics comparability.

    Following our successful article publication and session at Impact Week 2023, mark Wednesday 20 March, 15:00 – 16:15 for an e-talk. Expect inspiring discussions with thought leaders on integrating social impact into corporate contexts, emphasizing the role of Impact Measurement and Management in achieving this synergy. Register here!

    Accelerating a Gender Inclusive Climate Finance Sector: Practical Strategies and Lessons Learned from Latin America and the Caribbean

    It is widely recognized that advancing women’s leadership, employment, and active participation in climate finance not only guarantees more equitable solutions to climate change, but also improves financial sustainability, investability, balanced decision making, and risk mitigation. And yet, investors, entrepreneurs, and support organizations need more actionable guidance and case studies to address this emerging theme. Learn from impact asset manager Deetken Impact about their journey of incorporating a gender-smart investment approach into climate finance deals alongside entrepreneur Lauren Peters who is actively advancing gender equity in the solar industry in the Caribbean.

    This engaging discussion will cover lessons learned from Latin American and the Caribbean and practical strategies that can inform our collective understanding of the intersection of gender equality and climate action.
