The fourth annual Gobeshona Global Conference focused on monitoring Locally- Led Adaptation (LLA) and resilience is organized by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development. This year, the conference aims to link local, and international researchers, scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners to participate, support, and leverage the upstanding intentions and creativity of local communities aiming to develop and implement solutions dealing with climate change and monitor progress.

The conference also aims to address the quality of research and take initiative to give research a real meaning so that publication becomes effective in response to climate impacts and LLA by encouraging constructive discussion and feedback among researchers.

This seven-day-long conference will run over 24 hours each day, comprising virtual sessions which will include panels and open discussion focusing on adaptation strategies in local communities as well as research groups and practitioners from both developing and developed countries around the world. These sessions will stimulate actions amongst the participants and shall provide networking opportunities amongst like-minded groups.

The urgent need to shift global agriculture toward regenerative practices is clear, driven by the imperative to combat biodiversity loss and soil degradation.

Mexico, renowned for its biodiversity and widespread smallholder farming, offers a unique opportunity to implement tailored regenerative agricultural techniques. Leveraging indigenous knowledge and traditional methods, farmers across Latin America can adapt these practices to their local contexts while preserving cultural heritage.

However, challenges such as education, digitalization, and farmer skepticism must be addressed to enable this transition. Collaboration across the food system is crucial.

Enter the Regenerative Agriculture and Food Systems Summit LATAM, a platform for industry leaders to collaborate, exchange ideas, and drive transformative change toward a sustainable food system.

Join the summit on June 25-26 in Mexico City to unite under a shared mission of accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture and building a more resilient food system for future generations.

Join experts working at the forefront of carbon markets, RWAs and blockchain to build the future of climate finance.

Nature protection and repair is an immense job. Government funding has an important role to play. But the scale of the challenge means that governments can’t do the job alone. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework sets a target of US$200 billion funding per year to spend on nature repair by 2030.

The 2021 State of the Environment Report found a need for a significant investment in conservation and restoration to reverse the decline in Australia’s natural environment. This task will take collective action, across government, individual landholders and voluntary private sector investment.

That is why Australia will host the first Global Nature Positive Summit. It aims to boost private sector investment to protect and repair our environment.

Held at the height of the 2023 AGM season, asset owners at the inaugural ESG Investor Stewardship Summit debated whether a gap had opened up with their asset managers on issues critical to the future of engagement and stewardship.

By the end of the voting season that gap looked more like a chasm, as asset owners investigated the reasons why such disparities had developed, centring on engagement with oil and gas giants, but with much wider implications across portfolios.

With regulators conducting on a wholesale review of the framework for stewardship in the UK, the Stewardship Summit 2024 will bring together leading practitioners and stakeholders, with the aim of establishing common ground through a series of informed panels and inspiring keynotes.

As COP28 accelerates the transition to a climate- and nature-positive economy, and UK institutional investors are increasingly expected to consider social factors, it’s more important than ever that asset owners and managers work together.
