World Bee Day 2024
World Bee Day 2024
May 20, 2024 — May 20, 2024

Pollination is a fundamental process for the survival of ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world's wild flowering plant species depend entirely, or at least in part, on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world's food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. Pollinators are essential for conserving biodiversity.

In order to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the UN has designated 20 May  World Bee Day.

The goal is to strengthen measures to protect bees and other pollinators, which would significantly contribute to solving global food supply problems and eliminating hunger in developing countries.

"Bee engaged with youth" is the theme chosen for the 2024 Day. This theme highlights the importance of involving young people in beekeeping and pollinator conservation efforts, recognizing them as future custodians of our environment.

The environmental challenge for sustainable finance
May 22, 2024 09:00 AM — May 22, 2024 01:00 PM Rome, Sala Polifunzionale della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, Via Santa Maria in Via 37b

Methodologies, information and environmental indicators

The event will be an opportunity for an analysis of the characteristics of the new European legislative framework on sustainable finance, within which tools have been introduced to reorient private sector investments towards sustainable activities.

The implementation of the legislation will lead to an expansion of the subjects involved in sustainability reporting which will go from the current 11,700 to around 50,000 companies at a European level and from around 200 companies to more than 4,000 at an Italian level.

During the event ISPRA will present a study on 'Environmental information for sustainable finance' in which it intends to provide useful and supportive elements to businesses, investors and banks, to correctly understand the contents of the information underlying environmental reporting and the ways to generate some of this information required by the new standards.

The event will also be a useful opportunity to stimulate discussion between institutional representatives, those from the business world and the banking/financial sector.
