SUMMARY:Private sector engagement in humanitarian-development-peace collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The UN emphasizes the need to bridge the gap between humanitarian\, development and peace silos and advocates for closer collaboration between the different actors. It calls for shared analysis\, collective priority setting\, as well as joined up planning and programming with the overall aim of reducing humanitarian need\, risk and vulnerability. As part of the communities in which they operate\, businesses have an innate interest to support before\, during and after crises\, often seamlessly moving across humanitarian\, development and peacebuilding responses. This session will discuss how and when do humanitarian\, development and peace practitioners come together with private sector entities to leverage their comparative advantages. It will make a strong case that private sector actors should be encouraged to actively participate in the different elements of the nexus approach. Through an interactive panel discussion\, speakers will highlight concrete examples of how strengthened collaboration and coordination with and among the private sector have benefitted vulnerable people. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Driving Systems Change - Corporate Leadership for the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:The world is facing fundamental and interrelated systemic challenges\, including the COVID-19 pandemic as well as environmental and social crises and issues. Those issues cannot be solved by business as usual. Fortunately\, there is a framework that can help navigate efforts to deal with them: the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Right now\, the SDGs are the best agenda available to share ambitions and measure progress towards the achievement of a large number of common goals. \n\n\n\nThe private sector’s active involvement is vital in this ambition. But progress is too slow – not because of a lack of intentions\, but because of the serious gap in developing advanced strategies in realising the SDGs. It’s difficult to integrate SDGs in core business. So\, can corporate leaders step up to the challenge and drive systems change? \n\n\n\nWe think it is possible – and your contribution is important. Join our free\, online conference in which we will exchange experiences\, showcase tools and concepts\, and learn from leading thinkers and experts. Speakers include prof. Jeffrey Sachs This link opens in a new tab (Columbia University)\, Peter Bakker This link opens in a new tab (President & CEO of the WBCSD)\, prof. Mette Morsing This link opens in a new tab (Head of PRME of UN Global Compact)\, Paul Polman This link opens in a new tab (Co-Founder of IMAGINE)\, Kailash Satyarthi This link opens in a new tab (Nobel Peace Laureate 2014)\, and prof. Rob van Tulder This link opens in a new tab(Rotterdam School of Management & Academic Director of the Partnerships Resource Centre). You can find the schedule below. \n\n\n\nYou can register for the event at the right side of your screen. The email address and password will also be needed to log in on the day of the conference. You will receive a confirmation email shortly after registration (please note that the email might be in your spam folder). \n\n\n\nAlthough participation is free\, we kindly ask you to attend the event once you have registered. Failure to show up is at the expense of someone else’s participation\, as the number of tickets is limited. For questions you can send an email to ScienceWorks via assistant conference manager Karlijn van Marrewijk at k.vanmarrewijk@scienceworks.nl. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Global food regimes and China
DESCRIPTION:This second Agrarian Conversations webinar will discuss China’s relationship to food regime transitioning.\n\n\n\nWhat relationship does China have to current food regime transitioning\, with the changing geographies of production\, circulation and consumption of global food commodities\, and the growing significance of agroecological farming? Does China’s deepening international presence portend a new form of food regime hegemony? And what might that look like? If it does\, what are the implications of such changing dynamics for local\, national\, and international political struggles for a fairer and kinder agro-food system?  \n\n\n\nSpeakers and panelists\n\n\n\nPhilip McMichaelOpens external\, Cornell University\, USAYan HairongOpens external\, The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityPaul NicholsonOpens external\, La Via CampesinaRefiloe JoalaOpens external\, PLAAS\, South AfricaAndrea P.

SUMMARY:From Digital Promise to Frontline Practice: New and Emerging Technologies in Humanitarian Action
DESCRIPTION:In its report on new and emerging technologies in humanitarian action\, OCHA reviews how technologies ranging from artificial intelligence to unmanned aerial vehicles\, biometrics and the internet of things can enable earlier\, faster and potentially more effective humanitarian action. It also examines the complex challenges and risks these technologies present in humanitarian settings\, from adequate data\, data protection and privacy to digital inequality\, sustainable investments and conflicts of interest in public-private-partnerships. \n\n\n\nThe report identifies several enablers and guardrails\, including local front-line leadership and equitable access to technology; bottom-up approaches that put people at the centre; a digitally literate cadre of humanitarians and adequate\, representative data; ambitious and sustainable coalitions across sectors; governance that keeps pace with technology; and investments that mirror ambition. \n\n\n\nDuring this event\, co-hosted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and OCHA\, speakers will discuss the promises and pitfalls of new technologies\, and how to realize the ‘digital promise’ for the humanitarian sector. \n\n\n\nFeatured speakers include:\n\n\n\nMark Lowcock\, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator\, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsBirgitta Tazelaar\, Deputy Director-General for International Cooperation\, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the NetherlandsMaria Francesca Spatolisano\, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs and Officer in Charge of the Office of the Secretary-General’s Envoy on TechnologyJohn Frank\, Vice President for UN Affairs\, MicrosoftCindy Issac\, Deputy Head of Office\, Somalia\, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
