Green and social finance has grown rapidly in recent years, especially in the private sector. As economies across Asia and the Pacific work to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, how can governments nurture green and social finance to ensure that the recovery is inclusive, resilient, and sustainable?
 
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) explored these issues in a recent report forecasting the drivers and impacts of green and social finance and its prospects in the region.

Transforming the cities of the future

The 21st Century is the century of the city, with the United Nations estimating 75% of the global population will live in cities by 2050. The wicked problems that we associate with cities and urban life are epitomized in the critical need to address the climate crisis while tackling societal crises related to equity and justice across our communities.

The Meaning of Ice: Co-production of knowledge and community action in a changing Arctic

Drawing on experience from over two decades of close collaboration with Inuit communities in the Arctic, Dr. Fox will illustrate the powerful ways our understanding of the changing Arctic climate can be advanced when we link Inuit knowledge and visiting science.

The Meaning of Ice: Co-production of knowledge and community action in a changing Arctic

What does ice mean to different people? How can linking different ways of knowing about ice add to our understanding about the Arctic, and how it is changing? What does this mean for the rest of the world and our sustainable future? Dr. Shari Fox will address these and other questions in a lecture that explores sea ice and the changing Arctic environment through community-led research, harvesting, photography, science, art, and more.
