Women in Sustainable Innovation

🌟 What an incredible experience at the 24Fintech event in Riyadh! 🌟 It was an absolute pleasure meeting so many wonderful people from the fintech world, exchanging ideas, and exploring new possibilities. A huge shoutout to everyone I had the privilege of connecting with—your insights and energy were truly inspiring! On the third day, I had the honor of participating in a panel discussion on Cyber Risks alongside an incredible group of experts. We delved into crucial topics like data security, emerging threats, and innovative solutions. The discussions were thought-provoking, and every panel member, including our moderator, brought valuable perspectives to the table. Truly an enriching session! Looking forward to staying connected with all the amazing people I met and continuing these important conversations. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of innovation in fintech! 🚀 #24Fintech #CyberRisk #FintechInnovation #Networking #Riyadh Brett King Aniita K Pranav Sharma Anil Joshi Murtaza Ali Fahad Sajid Fahad AlSamari Faisal Al-Qadi Samrah Kazmi Amir Hussain Yasser AlDosari Marius Jurgilas Sherif Kozman Karim Samakie

Tony Hughes, Ph.D.'s an Aussie; I'm a Brit. Small wonder that cricket metaphors abound in our content! We're approaching a century of articles for Unpacking Climate Risk, the climate-related financial risk publication he and I set up earlier this year. To celebrate, like all good batsmen, we're saluting the crowd, not with our bats but with five of our personal favorite articles from the past eight months -- all of which have been made free-to-view. Here's my list, which includes ramblings on transition finance, emissions as a proxy for risk, Bank of England collateral nonsense, and more. Like what you read? Then consider tipping us by clicking 'Buy us a coffee' at the top of the website. Thanks to all Unpacking Climate Risk subscribers for your support this year so far. Here's to the next century! https://lnkd.in/eh5m4cze #climaterisk #climatechange #finance #riskmanagement

New paper – Reconsidering National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) as a Policy Framework under the UNFCCC https://lnkd.in/eNexEsAH “Under the UNFCCC, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) plays a central role as a policy framework for adaptation. While significant efforts, including research, have been made on the NAP scheme (which includes NAP formulation as one component), a critical evaluation of the entire NAP scheme is lacking. This includes an analysis of the relationship between the NAP process and the NAPs, their nature and intended functions, the interlinkages and implications of various COP agreements and guidelines on the NAPs, and alignment with the concept of the adaptation planning process. This paper analyzes COP Decisions, relevant documents from constituted bodies, and efforts by relevant international organizations to better understand how the NAP scheme is constructed and operated in order to clarify its strengths and weaknesses. To get an idea of how countries understand the COP Decisions and other relevant guidance for formulating their NAPs, we also reviewed the NAPs of nine countries in the Asia-Pacific region (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nepal, PNG, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, and Tonga). As a result, we find critical issues in the international agreements and actions on the NAPs that may become obstacles to global, and eventually national, adaptation efforts and make specific policy recommendations to address these challenges.” Key policy insights – Neither the NAP process nor the NAPs themselves have been well defined by the COP. As a result, formulated NAPs have no more in common than a ‘plan on adaptation developed by the national government.’ – It is vital for the COP to define the NAP process and the NAPs more clearly, including their roles and relations, and to ensure consistent support for developing countries’ adaptation efforts through the NAP scheme. – The COP should define the NAP process as the adaptation planning process (AP process) and find the roles of the NAPs as the ‘grand design of the AP process’ to enhance the consistency and effectiveness of global efforts on adaptation.” osamu mizuno Naoyuki OKANO HT Lingxiao Yan
