The Cooler Earth 2021

Align | Act | Accelerate

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a stress-test. Its unprecedented socio-economic impacts exposed the vulnerability and frailties of human civilisation. It has signaled to both people and businesses that if unprepared, social, economic and environmental risks can lead us to devastation. Indifference and inaction today to mitigate such risks will compromise our future. 

 

It is high time. We need to Align, Act and Accelerate our plans to future-proof our people, our businesses, and our ecosystems. It is time to lay a stronger foundation today to build a sustainable tomorrow.

 

The Cooler Earth is our mission to convene global citizens, experts and key stakeholders to deliberate on what you can do today as an individual and as a business to shape a more sustainable tomorrow. 

 

Join CIMB and its knowledge partners, Impacto, WWF, CEO Action Network, BCorp and ACCA at The Cooler Earth 2021.

Being Responsible Today to Shape a Better Tomorrow 

 

This year, The Cooler Earth 2021 takes place from 23 - 27 September 2021 and will continue with an urgent call-to-action on sustainable development, and discuss how our actions today will directly impact the well-being of the current and future generations.

 

This year’s Summit continues to put its focus on the ASEAN region, and through virtual engagements, encourages participation of leading industry practitioners, global experts, leaders, financiers, investors, policy-makers, and every individual who wishes to influence the present and shape our future. 

 

We also recognise the growing significance of youth involvement in realising the sustainability agenda. Hence this year, we are dedicating a full day for the youth, curated fully by the young talents from CIMB Group's The Complete Banker Programme, as a platform that would encourage and enable youth engagement for global action.

Week 1 | 7 – 13 September | Profits with a Purpose

 

The eight-week insightful and experiential journey of sustainability begins on an introspective note. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven that no individual and business is immune to sustainability risks. If you don’t act today, tomorrow may see you struggling to survive, to compete, to thrive. We are at a tipping point. Learn what we need to do to secure a sustainable future for ourselves and for future generations of people and businesses.

Webinar | Profits with a Purpose

 

 
8th September 2020

 

At the opening session of The Cooler Earth 2020, Dato' Abdul Rahman Ahmad, Group Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director of CIMB Group  asserts that businesses must consider sustainability risks and opportunities in their bottom-line assessments. Profits and sustainability are not at odds. John Elkington, author of the Triple Bottom Line, stresses that that sustainability must be understood beyond responsibility and trade-offs, and that the only way for building resilience is through regeneration. Against this backdrop, a panel with Impacto and experienced practitioners from CSO-SDG Alliance, City Developments Ltd. Singapore and the Global Business Initiative on Human Rights, emphasises that COVID-19 poses an opportunity to build more resilient companies and communities. The session concludes with an inspiring exchange of experiences by pioneering social entrepreneurs from Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC), The Truly Loving Company and Saora Industries and their role in furthering sustainable development.

Recommendations from the TCFD were explored and key practical steps were highlighted. The masterclass also provided insights into current CDP reporting by corporates in Asia Pacific on incorporating climate-related targets and metrics, strategy and governance.

Talk | Sustainability Careers: Building a Sustainable World

 

 
10th September 2020

 

Careers for Future Change Agents and Transformative Leaders: Gabriel Chong from CIMB moderated this session with social entrepreneurs and young professionals where Yuki Yasui from UNEP-FI, Elaine Sim from Pink Collar, Chanin Srisuma from Refill Station, Bernadette Victorio from Oxfam and Ar. Michael Ching from CH&I Architecture shared their motivations that led to a career in sustainability and sustainable development. The dynamic group exchanged experiences and inspiring stories – from the Asian mind-sets that see value only in traditional career options to breaking the convention and making it big in unexplored or less preferred jobs of the future.  The panel concluded that a successful career is defined by the impact one creates in the world around you, and how happy you are in contributing to a better future, a sustainable planet. Sustainability can be both rewarding and fulfilling as a career option on both personal and professional levels. Start small, gain general experience, specialise, find your passion for the right cause, make it your job and contribute!

Week 2 | 14 – 20 September | Resilient Communities

 

We may not often think of the many adverse environmental and social impacts in the communities where we live, work, and play. The dynamics are complex. When a part of the community gets disrupted or faces threats, everyone could be affected. So, what makes communities progress and live in harmony? This week, let us learn more about resilient communities and our role in shaping them.

Webinar | Resilient Cities and Communities

 

 
15th September 2020
 

Preparing Society for What’s Ahead: In the second week of The Cooler Earth 2020, experts on urban communities and coastal conservation convene to discuss solutions on increasing resilience in cities. The way we build our day-to-day lives is more important for resilience than having a crisis response system in place. According to Dr. Vijay Jagannathan, Secretary General, CityNet resiliency begins with reducing the risks that cities face, particularly for those most vulnerable. The only way to rise to the challenge is by getting communities completely involved in the process, with a governance system that responds to their priorities. Uta Dietrich, Senior Programme Manager, Think City,  presents findings from a detailed study of communities in social housing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and potential solutions to increase community resilience with a focus on challenges that disproportionately affect social housing residents. Finally, Julian Hyde, General Manager, Reef Check Malaysia, discusses linkages between coastal communities and ecosystems and on taking action to address sustainability impacts arising from development.  The session concludes with a lively discussion on topics ranging from complex dynamics of urban communities, to biodiversity in coastal ecosystems and local stakeholder concerns in line with the resilient cities agenda. 

 

 

Masterclass | Integrating SDGs into Corporate Reporting

 

 
17th September 2020

 

Enabling Business through SDGs: On Day 5 in the second week of The Cooler Earth 2020, PwC Malaysia, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Singapore, and UN Global Compact Network Malaysia (GCMY) collaborate to share practical tips on integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into corporate reporting. In this engaging masterclass, Julie Rezler, Director, GRI Singapore, Ezy Rudin, Head of Programmes, GCMY, and Redha Shukor, Director, Operations and Sustainability Leader and Haafiz Nordin, Manager, Sustainability and Climate Change from PwC Malaysia cover what the 17 UN SDGs mean in the context of business, the current and emerging trends and tools to monitor and track sustainability performance, and actionable steps towards adoption and integration of SDGs. The experts also share global, regional, and local perspectives as well as best practices from leading organisations who are already aligning their business strategies to SDGs. The key takeaway is to go beyond incremental approaches and use SDGs to define an ambition, make commitments, and take definitive action.

Let us look at the most important aspect that will shape our future – Leadership. Without it, we are bound to lose sight of what needs to be done to survive through various economic, environmental and social risks. This week, we will look at what leaders and champions at various levels can do to help manage the fast-changing world of governance, business and society.

Webinar | Regulation and Board Intervention

 

 
22nd September 2020

 

Lead the Change or Get Left Behind: The focus of CIMB’s TCE 2020 this week is sustainability leadership, especially the role of Boards in achieving the sustainability agenda. Teoh Su Yin, Board Member of CIMB Group, sets the stage with a compelling narrative on leadership for change. She admits that the sustainability journey has its challenges, and urges Board members to be brave enough to push the agenda forward. Dato’ Seri Ir. Dr. Zaini Ujang, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Environment and Water, shares some insights on the upcoming regulations and incentives that aim to encourage businesses to integrate sustainability principles in their operations and growth strategies. Philippe Joubert, Founder and CEO of Earth on Board reinforces the business case for serious climate action. There will be no business if the world continues to be in shambles, so Boards need to ensure that sustainability is at the centre of their strategy. In this context, Karina Litvack, Founder of WEF Climate Governance Initiative, and Datin Seri Sunita Rajakumar, Founding Chairperson of Climate Governance Malaysia, discuss the role of Boards in climate transition. Dr. Adam Ng from WWF-Malaysia moderates the panel that emphasises on the Directors’ obligation to strategise and deploy various tools to mitigate various climate risks. The day concludes with a call to action from Amar Gill, Head of Investment Stewardship Asia of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. He speaks of expectations from global investors on environmental and social impacts of businesses and how Blackrock actively participates in direct engagement and voting on board directorships to influence ESG practices.

 

 

 

Masterclass | TCFD Recommendations for Forest-risk Sectors

 

 
24th September 2020

 

Preparing Businesses for Forest-Risks Identification and Reporting: The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) shares a compelling case for businesses to adopt the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Two experts - Rini Setiawati, Project Manager and Wisnu Wibisono, Engagement Lead from CDP Forests share valuable insights on why forests matter as the planet’s most valuable ecosystems – playing a crucial role in mitigating climate change, supporting wild-life and biodiversity, housing the indigenous communities and above all, conserving the natural environment that sustains life. The speakers draw attention to grave issues such as deforestation and forest degradation that lead to direct and indirect business risks, including reputational, physical, regulatory and technological. The webinar provides practical tips on integrating forest-related risks into the business strategy, and concludes with a review of the TCFD disclosures for the forest industry.
