Guidelines for Speakers

Conference Title: Asia-Europe Sustainable Development Goals and Financing:

No Longer Business as Usual

Date: 6-7 September

Venue: Intercontinental Westlake in Hanoi, Viet Nam

On behalf of the conference co-organisers, we would like to express our gratitude for your valued role in our event.

We consider you an integral part of our team, and your knowledge and experience will undoubtedly contribute to

the success of our conference.

We have prepared a set of guidelines that are designed to assist in your preparations for your role in the

conference. The purpose of this document is to support common understanding in creating the enabling

conditions for all attendees of the conference to feel comfortable and the space for exchanging experiences and

mutual learning.

Programme Structure

There are two types of sessions in the programme complemented by refreshments.

x Thematic Sessions

Each session begins with a series of thematic presentations of 10-15 minutes by invited speakers,

followed by Q&A. Moderators may introduce presenters by title only, and can also draw on the speaker

bios which will be published in the conference booklet distributed to all participants of the conference.

x Thematic Roundtables

Thematic Roundtables begins with a series of input presentations (around 10 minutes) from invited

Speakers. As they are designed to promote interaction between the audience and the speakers, there is

more time allocated for a discussion following speaker presentations. The objective of the Roundtables is

to gather action points on how different stakeholders could contribute to the implementation of

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Guidelines for Speakers

Please kindly note that we have invited participants and audience members based on their previous experience or

knowledge on the SDGs. The level of knowledge may vary, but we would kindly recommend against speaking in

depth on the history of MDGs / SDGs, what they are, and how the negotiation process was run.

When planning your presentation, you should always keep in mind the question: What is the key message (or three key points) for the audience to take away? Please select up to 3 main messages you wish to convey and

share it with your audience, illustrated by examples.

Please note we have allotted time for each speaker to give a 10-15 minute presentation. We recommend that your

PowerPoint should:

x Contain up to 10 slides;

x Use a font size of no less than 30 point

This 2nd point is particularly important as it prevents too much information from being presented on any one slide.

This whole approach avoids the dreaded ‘Death by PowerPoint’. If you wish to provide more information, we

encourage you to create a bespoke hand-out to provide to the audience after your presentation.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to a successful conference. Should you have any questions or concerns please email Ms. Grazyna PULAWSKA at grazyna.pulawska@asef.org

Our Vision A resilient world of strong, inclusive and sustainable growth. Our Objective GGGI Member countries move towards a model of green growth. While this will be differentiated for countries, at its core will be strategies that simultaneously achieve poverty reduction, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and resource security. 1.Strengthened national green growth planning, financing and institutional frameworks. 2. Increased green investment flows. 3. Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing and learning between countries on green growth.

Mongolia Case: PPP for Green Educational Buildings

Financial Specifications: •  Initial cost of investment is 25% greater than Business-As-Usual (BAU)

Model •  Operating costs, including heating, electricity, water, and waste water

treatment, were significantly lower, reducing the pressure on state and local budgets. Total operating and maintenance cost is half of the BAU model.

•  Remove up to 120 tons of CO2 emission by reducing the use of coal for heating.

•  Indirect benefits are improve indoor air quality, health of children and staff

•  Project payback period is 14 years  

Philippines Case: Green Practices among MSMEs in Food Processing Sector

Are there any green practices among MSMEs? If yes, is greening profitable?

What is role of MSMEs in the Philippine economy and what does green practice mean?

Which MSMEs in coffee, cocoa, fruits and nuts processing sectors have green practices?

What are green practices levels (change of mindset, affordable purchase or technological

solutions)? How green practices are beneficial and

profitable to these businesses (SWOT and CBA)?

iv. Case stuDies

OVERVIEW OF ALL CASE STUDIES

This research contains two types of case studies: the main case study, with figures obtained from the cost-benefit analysis; and the mini case study, that is more qualitative in nature.

Showcased in this research are four main case studies and eight mini case studies. The table below presents all twelve case studies at a glance.

Among these case studies, it was commonly observed that:

• Most common green practice among the MSMEs are in the areas of waste management, energy conservation, and efficient use of water; it is hoped that more concrete initiatives in the area of emission will be pursued as these MSMEs attain further development;

• All the MSMEs seem committed to institutionalizing their respective green practices beyond token compliance, as seen in their varied levels of investments, most of which have been categorized under levels 2 and 3;

• Such investments may have been prompted by these MSMEs’ appreciation of the importance of greening the value chain processes which has concrete economic and non-economic benefits for the MSMEs themselves;

• The varying level of investments depended on priorities decided by the respective firms, taking into consideration these investments’ economic impact on the business operations, their contribution to the attainment of the specific goals of the business;

• Leadership of MSMEs has played an important role in sustaining the implementation of these green practices; quite expectedly, business owners who have professed to be staunch supporters of environment-friendly practices made sure that their respective firms adopt a similar mindset; on whether the employees of these MSMEs are able to bring home such mindset and influence their respective household is already beyond the scope of this study;

• The MSMEs – across all the clusters covered – share common basic value chain processes that include production, processing, packaging, and distribution;

• Among the relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the green practices of the covered MSMEs were able to demonstrate their support only to:

as seen in some of the businesses’ conscious adoption of green architecture principles for better ventilation and more efficient lighting, and the provision itself of jobs to locals; and

as seen in these MSMEs deliberate efforts to reuse, recycle and upcycle components in their production process.

Key findings •  Green practices among MSMEs in coffee, cocoa, fruits

and nuts processing sector the Philippines is at infancy stage (limited green practices and low response at the moment)

•  Greening intervention does not always require investment

•  Greening is profitable (CBA results in 58%-75% cost savings and IRR 19%-224%)

•  Growing market demand, strong potential to expand and limited resources (SWOT analysis)

•  Needs more leveraging support from the Government, cluster associations and development partners in know-how/research, financing and market expansion.
