The event organized by the Asia Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) will be held on the 13th of April (GMT +8). AVPN, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), is launching “Philanthropy Handbook: Giving Effectively from Singapore to Asia-Pacific”, a handbook that offers guidance to current and new philanthropists on starting or expanding their giving journey from Singapore.

UNESCO World Higher Education Conference (WHEC2022) aims at reshaping ideas and practices in higher education to ensure sustainable development for the planet and humanity. The conference will happen in Barcelona between 18 to 20 of May 2022.

"“This monumental climate report is distressing but it is not surprising. Scientists and the IPCC have been warning governments of this danger for decades. Our future lies in the decisions we make today. We cannot tackle climate change later. We must clamp down on emissions now or face more catastrophic climate disasters, season after season.”

To develop stronger and clearer standards for net-zero emissions pledges by non-State entities – including businesses, investors, cities and regions – and speed up their implementation, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on 31 March 2022 established a High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities.
