🌟It’s day 2 of our 2023 #AlliesAssembly. Today, we are engaging our #Allies in meaningful dialogue on driving actions towards the #SDGs. We will reflect on pathways to enhance corporate accountability practices and foster collaboration among global and local stakeholders. 1/3
🗣 We love these moments from yesterday's sessions, where we shared insights on how stakeholders can shape, use and amplify data to drive impactful actions and learnings for companies and much more. #2023AlliesAssembly 1/3

I'm delighted to be attending the @GAImpactLawyers conference next Wednesday to learn more about the great work of this amazing network - and share how @SDGBenchmarks free and public assessments of the private sector can support the #impact they are making!

🤝Business leaders called for innovation and “radical collaboration”. A ‘polycrisis’ needs a holistic ‘polyresponse’ with solutions from “governments […] business [and] the #finance sector […] together to really address these complex and systemic issues.”
An impeding #polycrisis framed #wef23 in #Davos last week. But how do the big announcements compare with the multitude of discussions amongst leaders, innovators, investors, and practitioners on the ground and what are 5 key sustainability areas to watch in 2023? A 🧵:
🌳“We see nature as an investible asset class” – one leading asset manager. Governance for #biodiversity credits; nature-linked bonds and blended finance; and debt for #nature swaps all indicate nature finance is growing fast
We look forward to joining @princesa4s summit tomorrow with a session highlighting the results of our #FinancialBenchmark2022.

Our Investor Engagement Lead @NikkiGwilliam is speaking at #PRIinPerson on advancing investor action on human rights & social issues:
🗣️"We don't need to wait for perfect data, but rather use the frameworks we already have at hand to address human rights risks & impacts"
@PalomaMQuick shares insights from @SDGBenchmarks Financial Benchmark at the #UNForumBHR
investors and #bizhumanrights panel: <7% of financial institutions disclose their process to identify human rights risks & impacts within own operations, <3% in their financing activities
There is a + correlation between a company’s human rights score & its performance in our 2021 #justtransition assessment. Just transition plans are a concrete way for businesses to operationalise their responsibility to respect human rights in the face of the climate crisis.
Very grateful to be part of the visiting researcher network of @ICCCAD and to continue to learn from their cutting edge research. I am also grateful to @makuch_k for supporting me in my MSc research in 2017. I hope many more at @IC_CEP can build up the network!
Some personal reflections as #COP27 is slowly drawing to a close and a #LossAndDamage fund is set out. I had the honour of being a visiting researcher with @SaleemulHuq and the wonderful @ICCCAD team in 2017 and have the privilege of reconnecting with them each COP (1/3)
During week 1 of #COP27 we heard excellent presentations from researchers from Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Nepal, Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi, amongst others, on #LossAndDamage in their countries and what is needed on a national and global level to address it (2/3)
