Global Electric Two- and Three-Wheeler Conference
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), through its Sustainable Mobility Unit and in collaboration with the Global Network for Popular Transportation (GNPT), will convene the Second Global Electric Two- and Three-Wheeler Conference in Mexico City from 2 to 4 June 2026.
The event will be in-person only and free of charge, with sessions in both English and Spanish. Participants traveling to Mexico for this conference will need to cover their own travel costs (unless sponsorship has been offered).
Building on the inaugural edition held in Bangkok in 2023, the conference will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, operators, workers, researchers and civil society from across the Global South to accelerate the electrification of two- and three-wheelers (2&3Ws) as a cornerstone of a just, low-carbon mobility transition.

Why DISCOMs Should Act Now: The Business Case and Regulatory Pathways for Resource Adequacy and Demand Flexibility
The Energy Transition Preparedness Initiative (ETPI)—a collaborative effort by Prayas (Energy Group), Sustainable Futures Collaborative, and WRI India—is a multi-sectoral, multi-state initiative aimed at understanding state-level plans, actions, and governance processes supporting the energy transition. The “Power at Peak” webinar series builds up on ETPI research DISCOM Initiatives to Promote Energy-Efficient Appliances and Equipment to create an enabling ecosystem for implementation of demand side management programs. The first webinar in the series focused on Webinar Why Energy Efficient Appliances and Demand Side Management Matters Now? was conducted on May 14, 2026.The second webinar in the series will explore “why DISCOMs need to plan proactively for increasing demand” and “how regulatory changes can facilitate that”. This webinar will focus on the benefits from demand side measures beyond energy savings, with particular emphasis on peak demand savings, avoided capacity costs, and network deferral benefits, and demand flexibility to support renewable adoption. The discussion will also examine how efficient and flexible demand can be embedded into resource adequacy frameworks and aligned with emerging demand flexibility regulations.Time: 6:00 AM ET

Webinar: Bridging the Trust Gap in Impact Reporting: AI-Powered Norms Assessment with IMMPactAI
As the impact investing market matures, ensuring the credibility and decision-usefulness of impact performance reporting is critical. However, preliminary analysis using the new IMMPactAI Impact Performance Reporting Norms Gap Analysis Engine reveals a significant accountability deficit. Our assessment of ~90 impact-labeled funds showed wide variation in compliance with the Impact Frontiers norms.
This session will introduce the Impact Performance Reporting Norms, the IMMPactAI tool, which transforms impact investment assessment through AI-powered analysis and standardized methodology and preliminary research findings from running the tool on ~90 impact funds.
Participants will discuss the critical market observations generated by this AI analysis, including:
–> The “style over substance” gap: A stark divergence between how funds present information and how they actually govern it.
–> The institutional paradox: A counter-intuitive trend where some of the largest asset managers produced visually polished reports but received the lowest scores on governance.
–> The “highlight reel” bias: The overwhelming tendency for reporting to remain overwhelmingly positive, with most funds failing to report any kind of underperformance.
–> The verification void: The finding that fewer than 20% of evaluated reports disclosed independent assurance of their impact performance data.
Through a live demonstration and interactive dialogue, we will discuss how automated norms assessment tools can help impact capital asset owners and managers improve their own Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) practices.
Time: 8:00 – 9:00 AM
