Catalyzing Private Sector Engagement on Sustainability
Expert panel - Catalyzing Private Sector Engagement: Moving the Needle on Sustainability:The ongoing global pandemic and recent invasion of Ukraine has put the global business community into the spotlight specifically in relation to its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. The unfolding situation has heightened the global business community’s critical role in upholding key ESG values such as the rule of law, good governance, and human rights. Subsequently, its response to global Climate Change, Environment Disaster Risk Reduction, and Crisis Management is vital in our shared pursuit of a sustainable future for all. Hosted at the UN 66th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66), discussion topics will emphasize the need for greater focus and collaboration on gender equity and empowerment - related to the CSW66 theme on Climate Change and Environment Disaster Risk Reduction - and propose new opportunities for impact on environmental and social sustainability.
