Next-generation non-covalent, reversible BTK inhibitors, which have increased specificity and a novel mechanism of action, may address unmet needs and deliver better care. These next-generation BTK inhibitors have been successful in clinical trials and are changing the treatment paradigm as well as practice guidelines. Understanding key differences between the covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors, along with recent clinical trial data, will allow the clinical care team to introduce and integrate newly approved practice-altering therapies into current treatment plans to best meet the needs of their diverse patients with CLL/SLL or MCL. In this educational activity, the expert faculty Chairperson will review the latest clinical evidence supporting the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of reversible, non-covalent BTK inhibitors to enhance incorporation into evidence-driven treatment sequencing for patients with CLL/SLL and MCL. The Chairperson will present a summary of the most relevant and timely advances with non-covalent BTK inhibitors while layering in their own personal, expert perspectives on how community care teams can …=

Members of the ton rejoice! Both halves of Bridgerton, season three have finally dropped. We had so many thoughts about this latest installment of the regency romance series that–just like Netflix–we split our conversation in two. In this first episode, we consider the season as a whole, break down Pen and Colin's long awaited transition from friends to lovers, and start to craft "Bridgerton, Season Three: the Corinne and Ayanni Cut." The second part of our conversation drops on Saturday, June 29th.

Obszar zrównoważonego finansowania można oceniać nie tylko z perspektywy inwestorów/akcjonariuszy, ale również ze strony kredytodawców. W tej domenie coraz prężniej zaczynają działać banki oferujące tzw. kredyty SLL (Sustainability Linked Loans), a więc taki rodzaj finansowania na preferencyjnych warunkach cenowych, który ma być przed kredytobiorcę spożytkowany na cele związane ze zrównoważonym rozwojem. Przykładem wykorzystywania takich narzędzi jest chociażby finansowanie budowy energooszczędnych mieszkań czy wymiana floty samochodowej firm na hybrydową lub elektryczną. Od strony instytucji finansowych z kolei upowszechnienie takiej formy finansowania wymaga wzmacniania kompetencji analitycznych oraz ujednolicenia kryteriów w branży. O właściwościach, wyzwaniach i rozwoju rynku kredytów SLL opowiada Joanna Sobótka-Klimczak, Sustainability Expert w ING Banku Śląskim. Zapraszamy!

Time for the third installment of our divorce comedy mini-series! While we didn't initially plan to include this show, we're talking about the recently concluded Korean drama Queen of Tears. We consider whether or not the show is actually a divorce comedy at all, how it deploys divorce in the development of the main relationship, and what about this second chance romance really resonates. We also touch on some of the other things that did–and didn't–work for us in the drama as a whole. Content warning: Because of the nature of the show we're discussing, there are mentions of fictional s*icide at 9:50, 11:41, and 40:44; discussion of a fictional miscarriage starting at 43:20; and discussion of fictional terminal illness throughout.

Fernando Pérez Pacho nos habla hoy del 'Love Bombing' o Bombardeo Amoroso. Se trata de un intento de influir en una persona mediante demostraciones de atención y afecto. Se puede utilizar de diferentes formas y con fines positivos o negativos. Los psicólogos han identificado el bombardeo amoroso como una posible parte de un ciclo de abuso y han advertido contra él. También se ha descrito como manipulación psicológica para crear un sentimiento de unidad dentro de un grupo contra una sociedad percibida como hostil.  Hagamos un poco de historia. En 2011, el psicólogo clínico Oliver James defendió el bombardeo de amor en su libro Love Bombing: Reset Your Child's Emotional Thermostat, como un medio para que los padres rectifiquen los problemas emocionales de sus hijos.Las redes sociales modernas pueden intensificar el efecto del bombardeo amoroso, ya que le dan al abusador un contacto y una comunicación casi constantes con la víctima. Una de las señales del bombardeo amoroso en el inicio de una relación es la atención intensa durante un corto período de tiempo y la presión por un compromiso muy rápido. El psicólogo Dale Archer identifica las fases del bombardeo amoroso con el acrónimo IDD: "Intensa idealización, devaluación, descarte (repetición)" y el proceso de identificación de este patrón de comportamiento como SLL: "Stop, Look, and Listen"; después de lo cual romper el contacto con el abusador puede ser más posible buscando también el apoyo de familiares y amigos. Otra señal de bombardeo amoroso es la lluvia intensa de cariño, regalos y promesas de futuro con el depredador para que la víctima sienta o se le haga creer que todo esto es una señal de “amor a primera vista”. Dado que tales muestras de afecto y afirmación pueden satisfacer las necesidades sentidas y no parecer dañinas en la superficie, la emoción de una nueva relación de este tipo a menudo no parece ser motivo de alarma. Sin embargo, después de la excitación inicial, cuando la víctima muestra interés o preocupación por algo más allá de su nueva pareja, el manipulador puede mostrar ira, comportamiento pasivo-agresivo o acusar a las víctimas de egoísmo. Si la víctima no cumple con las demandas, comienza la etapa de devaluación: el abusador retira todo afecto o refuerzo positivo y en su lugar castiga a la víctima con lo que considere apropiado: gritos, reprimendas, juegos mentales, trato silencioso o incluso abuso físico.

It is a CAR T-cell therapy that modifies patient's T cells to target tumor antigens. The approval was based on the TRANSCEND CLL 004 study, showing a 20% complete response rate and a median duration of response not reached by the data cutoff. Tislelizumab for Esophageal SCC   - Tislelizumab-jsgr (Tevimbra) received FDA approval for unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients after prior systemic chemotherapy. The approval was based on the phase 3 RATIONALE 302 trial, which showed significant improvement in overall survival compared to chemotherapy (8.6 months vs. 6.3 months). This marks a critical advancement for patients with limited treatment options after first-line failures. Resmetirom for NASH   - The FDA approved resmetirom (Rezdiffra) for adults with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with moderate to advanced fibrosis, to be used alongside diet and exercise. This is the first medication approved to directly address liver damage in NASH patients with significant liver scarring, acting as a partial activator of a thyroid hormone receptor to reduce liver fat. The approval, based on a 54-month trial, used a surrogate endpoint at 12 months to demonstrate improvement in liver scarring and inflammation. Maralixibat for Cholestatic Pruritus   - Maralixibat (Livmarli) oral solution was approved for treating cholestatic pruritus in patients aged 5 years and older with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). It is an orally administered ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor, showing efficacy in the Phase 3 MARCH clinical trial across various genetic types of PFIC. Additionally, a higher concentration formulation is under consideration to extend its use to younger PFIC patients. Guselkumab for UC   - A supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) has been submitted for guselkumab (Tremfya) for treating adults with moderate-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The submission is based on the QUASAR program results, demonstrating significant clinical remission at Week 44 compared to placebo. Guselkumab, a novel IL-23 inhibitor, has previously been approved for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis, marking its potential expansion into UC treatment.  

This week, we start a new series, this time all about the ins-and-outs of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) / small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)! Whether practicing general internal medicine, hospital medicine, or hematology/oncology, you will likely come across a patient with CLL. First, we go through initial diagnosis of this disease! Content: - What is CLL? How is this different than SLL?- What is the approach to diagnosis?- Do you need a bone marrow biopsy? Imaging?- How do we prognosticate patients? - Are smudge cells always suggestive of CLL? ** Want to review the show notes for this episode and others?

It wasn't even two weeks into the new year when the Food and Drug Administration made their first FDA approval. In this case, it was a Keytruda regimen for certain patients with gynecologic cancers. We at CURE® spoke with an the primary investigator on the study leading to the approval about what patients need to know about the latest new indication.  Also last week, we highlighted the Lymphedema Treatment Act and spoke to an expert about the new law.  Another story in the regulatory space: the FDA granted a Fast Track designation to speed up the review of a novel drug used to treat patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL.  Finally, research from the American Cancer Society showed that Medicaid expansion states tended to have improved post-surgical outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.   Keytruda Plus CRT Offers ‘Better Chance of Cure' in Advanced Cervical Cancer The Food and Drug Administration has granted approval for Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in combination with chemoradiotherapy for the treatment of stages 3 to 4A cervical cancer, marking the first approval of an anti-PD-1 therapy with chemotherapy for this patient population and the third FDA approval for treating cervical cancer with Keytruda.  This week, I spoke with Dr. Linda R. Duska, a gynecologic oncologist and principal investigator on the study leading to the approval, who discussed the KEYNOTE-A18 trial, which enrolled 1,060 patients and demonstrated a 30% decrease in progression for those receiving the combination of Keytruda and chemotherapy. The overall survival data is not yet mature, but the treatment showed a 41% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death. While Dr. Duska emphasized that cervical cancer is preventable thanks to a safe and effective vaccine, she said that for patients with the disease, this new regimen is particularly exciting.  January is also Cervical Cancer Awareness month, so definitely stay tuned to curetoday.com for more of our coverage on the disease.  Medicare Must Now Cover Lymphedema Treatment Garments The Lymphedema Treatment Act, signed into federal law on Dec. 23, 2022, is now in effect as of Jan. 1, 2024, allowing Medicare coverage for doctor-prescribed compression supplies for patients experiencing. The bill encompasses standard and custom-fitted gradient compression garments and other approved items prescribed by healthcare professionals to treat lymphedema. Now basically what that means is that patients insured by Medicare Part B can now have their lymphedema garments covered by insurance.  This coverage is expected to ease financial burdens on patients, especially as these garments can be expensive.  I spoke with Joanna Fawzy Doran, CEO of Triage Cancer, who emphasized the importance of patient and provider awareness about coverage rights, appealing denials and navigating the process. Although the law does not mandate private insurers to cover compression sleeves for lymphedema patients, Doran noted that Medicare's coverage sets a precedent for broader access in the future. FDA Grants NX-5948 Fast Track Designation for R/R CLL, SLL The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to NX-5948, a novel drug, for adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who have previously undergone two lines of therapy, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor.  Fast Track designation aims to expedite the development and review of drugs addressing serious conditions with unmet medical needs.  NX-5948 is currently in a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial, with initial findings presented at the 2023 American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting indicating safety, tolerance, and clinical activity. The drug showed no dose-limiting toxicities or treatment-related side effects leading to discontinuation, and the most common side effects were purpura/contusion, nausea, and thrombocytopenia.  Medicaid Expansion May Decrease Early Mortality in Some With NSCLC States with Medicaid expansion tended to have a significant decrease in early, postoperative mortality from non-small cell lung cancer, according to recent research.  The research focused on nearly 15,000 patients undergoing surgery for NSCLC, with 62.1% residing in states supporting Medicaid expansion. The study found notable reductions in 30-day and 90-day postoperative mortality in patients with stages 1, 2, or 3 NSCLC in expansion states. Patients in non-expansion states were found to be younger, non-Hispanic Black, uninsured, and with comorbidities.  The study also evaluated changes in early mortality before and after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation, showing a decrease in the 30-day mortality rate in expansion states from 0.97% to 0.26% after the ACA. Now, advocates, including the American Cancer Society, continue to emphasize the importance of expanding Medicaid eligibility to improve health outcomes.  For more news on cancer updates, research and education, don't forget to subscribe to CURE®'s newsletters here.

Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) have poor outcomes after the failure of covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor treatment, and new therapeutic options are needed. Pirtobrutinib, a highly selective, noncovalent (reversible) BTK inhibitor, was designed to re-establish BTK inhibition.

In a multinational, Phase III, head-to-head trial, ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, was compared with zanubrutinib, a BTK inhibitor with greater specificity, as treatment for relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). In prespecified interim analyses, zanubrutinib was superior to ibrutinib with respect to overall response (the primary endpoint).

This past weekend, the CURE® staff was busy covering the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. ASH is the largest blood cancer conference in the country, and thousands of abstracts were presented. Now, we're bringing you some of the highlights from the conference. And, to view all of our conference coverage, be sure to check out curetoday.com/conference Navitoclax Plus Jakafi Improves Spleen Volume Reductions in Myelofibrosis Spleen enlargement is a common and often problematic symptom of myelifbrosis. However, recent findings from the phase 3 TRANSFORM-1 trial found that combining the novel drug, navitoclax with Jakafi was successful in reducing spleen volume in this patient population. The main outcome that the researchers were looking at in this study was the percentage of patients who had a spleen volume reduction of 35% or more at certain time points. Findings showed that by week 24, 64.2% of patients who had the navitoclax regimen experienced this level of spleen reduction, compared to only 31.5% of patients who received placebo plus Jakafi — that's a significant overall difference of 31%. Navitoclax is not currently approved in any indication, but AbbVie, the pharmaceutical company behind the agent, plans to submit the drug for FDA approval in 2023, pending study results. Brukinsa Lengthens Time to Progression in Relapsed/Refractory CLL, SLL There are currently three BTK inhibitors for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL and SLL, respectively), though a lack of research exists that compares these drugs head-to-head. Now, the phase 3 ALPINE trial was the first study to directly compare two BTK inhibitors, Brukinsa and Imbruvica, in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL. Findings showed that after about 39 months of follow-up, patients given Brukinsa tended to live longer before death or disease progression — a statistic experts refer to as “progression-free survival.” In the general patient population, Brukinsa reduced the risk of disease progression by 32%, and for patients with 17p deletion and/or TP53 mutations — subtypes that typically indicate aggressive disease — there was a 48% reduction in the risk of disease progression. Abecma May Improve Quality of Life in Previously Treated Myeloma The phase 3 KarMMA-3 trial showed that Abecma significantly improved symptoms, functioning and health-related quality of life in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who previously underwent two to four prior treatments. Abecma is a CAR-T cell therapy, which is a newer type of treatment for blood cancers. It involves taking patients' blood out, and re-engineering their T cells to find and fight cancer. After they're multiplied, those new T cells are infused back into the patient. Findings from the KarMMA-3 trial showed that Abecma led to improvements in fatigue and pain compared with other standard regimens in this patient population.

This episode, on the recommendation of an SLL listener, we're excited to do a deep dive into the Japanese Drama, Rinko-San Wants to Try. We get into how the show complicates conceptions of virginity, plays with the friends with benefits trope, and maybe get in our feelings a lil bit about a second female lead who really got under Ayanni's skin. As two people who study, analyze, and have a literal podcast about media, we stand in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike. Without the labor of the actors currently on strike–along with their counterparts in other industries/countries, who also deserve fair wages and labor protections–none of the works we discuss here or in other episodes would exist.

Episode Summary Hosts Nicholas Gandolfo, Vice President, Corporate Solutions Aditi Bhatia, Senior Regional Manager, Corporate Solutions What Will the EU Green Bond Standard Mean for the Market?  With the European Union's Green Bond Standard set to come into effect sometime next year, we look at what it could mean for the global sustainable finance market more broadly. Although the highly anticipated framework is expected to be the gold standard for what we see in the market going forward, there are ongoing concerns about its usability. Some market participants are worried about the potential difficulty in meeting all the requirements of the Green Bond Standard and whether the standard is too prescriptive in its requirements to set up a framework.   Sustainable Finance Meets AI   The sustainable debt market continues to see innovations in the types of projects being funded. One example is the use of green bonds to raise money for artificial intelligence (AI) projects related to green or social initiatives. The green bond issuance highlighted in this episode will finance AI projects related to improving the environmental performance of buildings through data analytics and energy management software. Using AI to support corporate sustainability improvements is not new, but funding such projects using sustainable debt instruments could be the next wave.  Changes Coming to the Podcast!

The traditional long summer break from school in the U.S. can mean fun in the sun—and summer learning loss (SLL). While SLL is a documented phenomenon, not all K-12 students lose the same skills and knowledge over the summer. In fact, some make gains over the summer holiday. One of the most important things students can do to improve is read. And reading can be a powerful driver of learning for adults as well as K-12 students. In this episode of the Leading Learning Podcast, co-hosts Jeff Cobb and Celisa Steele offer a preview of their summer reading list, each sharing one book of nonfiction, one of fiction, and a wildcard—with a few bonus books thrown in for good measure. Show notes and a downloadable transcript are available at https://www.leadinglearning.com/episode362.

Episode Summary Hosts: Sabrina Tang Sales Associate, Sustainable Finance Solutions Nicholas Gandolfo, Vice President, Corporate Solutions   Is the Sustainable Finance Market Rebounding in 2023? In this month's episode, Nick and Sabrina dig into the sustainable finance market's rebound in Q1. Despite the market pressures caused by inflation and the banking shake-ups at UBS and Credit Suisse, sustainable finance activity saw an upward trend in the first part of the year. Although Nick and Sabrina stop short of making any predictions about where volumes will land by the end of the year, they do note some interesting dynamics in the market: green use of proceed bonds remain strong, social and sustainability focused bonds are down slightly, and sustainability-linked finance appears to be gaining some ground again despite continued market scrutiny. Scrutiny Continues for Sustainability-Linked Bonds Despite the rebound in sustainability-linked bond (SLB) activity in Q1 this year, concerns remain about this sustainable debt instrument. Several recent articles and reports discuss the credibility of SLB targets, whether coupon rates offer enough of a penalty if targets are missed, and whether the performance targets and indicators have an impact on sustainability. There's also some media coverage on SLB issuers missing their stated sustainability performance targets. Although not ideal, missed targets among SLB issuers could be viewed as a sign of their rather than an indication of something being fundamentally wrong. For issuers considering sustainability-linked debt instruments and seeking additional guidance, check out the latest market references from Climate Bonds Initiatives (CBI). The Sustainable Sovereign Debt Club Continues to Grow CBI's 2022 market summary highlights the growth of sovereign bond issuances. This is great to see because sustainable debt from sovereigns catalyzed the market in many cases. Sabrina highlights the recent activity from Turkey, Austria, Italy, and Cyprus as well as the sovereign green bond program being considered by the Australian government. In addition to more countries seeing the opportunities in sustainable debt instruments, regulators across a growing number of jurisdictions are ramping up sustainable finance activities in their countries. Developments are ongoing in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Japan, and Vietnam to name just a few.   Key Moments 0:00:59 Market overview 0:02:07 Q1 market overview 0:03:25 CBI 2022 state of the market report 0:05:22 Continuing SLB scrutiny 0:06:46 Climate transition plan transparency 0:08:34 More updates to the EU taxonomy 0:09:34 Additional articles and reports to read (see links below) 0:11:34 SLB and SLL overview 0:14:15 Audience questions 0:18:14 Green bonds overview 0:21:13 Green loans overview 0:22:30 Social bonds and loans overview 0:23:25 Labeled products, transition bonds and regulatory updates     Links to Select Resources Climate Bonds Initiative – Green and Other Labelled Bonds Fought Inflation to Amass USD858.bn Volume in 2022 Climate Bonds Initiative – Sustainable Debt: Global State of the Market 2022 Environmental Finance - ‘It's time to stop step-up-only sustainability-linked bonds' Environmental Finance – Union Investment: SLBs Can Have Impact Environmental Finance – CBI Launch Sustainability-Linked Bond Certification Scheme Energy Monitor – Are We About to See a Surge in Sovereign Sustainability-Linked Bonds?

Episode Summary  Hosts:  Nishant Bhagchandani, Sales Manager, Sustainable Finance Solutions  Nicholas Gandolfo, Vice President, Corporate Solutions     Regulation, Guidance and Taxonomy Updates Keep Market Participants on Their Toes   In this episode, Nick and Nishant discuss the flurry of updates in the sustainable finance regulation and guidance space. The European Union has reached a long-awaited deal on the first set of comprehensive rules for issuing green bonds. Although voluntary, the EU Green Bond Standards will help investors identify high-quality green bonds and may set a precedent for other jurisdictions.   The Green Loan Principles, Social Loan Principles, and Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles were also recently updated to align more closely to current market practice and provide additional guidance to borrowers (e.g., recommendations that borrowers obtain an independent external review of their green, social and sustainability-linked loan processes). Other updates include recommendations for the sustainable finance taxonomies being developed in Australia and Canada, as well as the new draft version of the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework.         What the Final TNFD Framework Could Mean for Sustainable Finance   With the release of the fourth beta framework from the TNFD, market participants eagerly await the final version, due to be published this fall. This latest beta release includes a full draft reporting framework and a set of disclosure metrics, along with assessment metrics to be used by companies. The disclosure metrics will also include some core measures which are applicable to all sectors. The final framework will help to standardize the sustainability metrics companies report on, making them usable in sustainability-linked instruments and speeding up the framework's adoption.     Key Moments  0:00:59  Market overview  0:02:32  Market forecast  0:03:22  SVB failure and climate tech  0:04:05  Morningstar Sustainalytics launches Low Carbon Transition Ratings  0:04:37  Relinking in sustainable finance  0:05:11  TNFD release beta version 4 of framework  0:05:56  Insights from Kanga News Sustainable Debt Conference  0:06:30  Taxonomy developments in Australia and Canada  0:07:24  Agreement of EU Green Bond Standards  0:08:33  High Seas Treaty will boost blue bond issuance  0:08:45  SLBs as a hedge against sustainability policies  0:09:00  Transition finance standards  0:09:12  Updated principles for green, social and sustainability-linked loans  0:10:58  SLB and SLL overview  0:13:48  Audience questions  0:17:43  Green bonds overview  0:20:56  Social bonds and loans overview  0:22:40  Labeled products, transition bonds and regulatory updates      Links to Select Resources  JD Supra – Asian ESG Debt Markets Take a Breath After Record Run  Bloomberg – Green Bonds Turbo Charge ESG Debt Sales to Busiest February Ever  ESG Clarity – Natixis Q&A: ‘Liquidity Will Be Driven by ESG Transparency and Clarity'  Environmental Finance – Credit Suisse: Another Headwind for 'Green' AT1 Bonds   Morningstar Sustainalytics Launches its Low Carbon Transition Ratings  Bank of China Ltd Announcement – Sustainability Re-Linked Notes Coupon Adjustment: Annual Coupon Adjustment of Sustainability Re-Linked Notes  Environmental Finance – Forthcoming TNFD Metrics Would Work in Sustainability-Linked Instruments  Environmental Finance – Traffic-Light System Recommended for Australia's Taxonomy   Environmental Finance – EU Green Bond Standard: Provisional Deal on Landmark Regulation Agreed   ESG Clarity – High Seas Treaty Will Boost Interest, Access and Issuance of Blue Bonds  Climate Bonds Initiative – India's Debut in the Sovereign Green Bond Market: First Deal Landed a Greenium!  IRENA – Investments in Renewables Reached Record High, But Need Massive Increase and More Equitable Distribution  International Energy Agency – Global CO2 Emissions Rose Less Than Initially Feared in 2022 as Clean Energy Growth Offset Much of the Impact of Greater Coal and Oil Use  Climate Bonds Initiative – Climate Bonds Standard Expands With New Agri-Food Transitions Criteria: Commodity and Supply Chain TWGs And IWGs Now Onboarding    More Episodes  

Since the publication of the original sustainability-linked loans (SLL) principles and guidance by the Loan Market Association (LMA) and Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA), there has been a significant increase in volumes of sustainability-linked financing. Lenders and borrowers have used the credibility and flexibility of this loan product to respond to the changing financial landscape and stakeholder demands, whilst developing their sustainability strategies and policies. The LMA and LSTA are set to release revised SLLPs this and are also planning to release a set of standardised model terms for SLLs in facility agreements that will play a crucial role in providing structure, consistency and guidance to the growing SLL market. In this podcast, the hugely important loan product is discussed by our Financial Services partner, Sukhvir Basran, who is joined by Tess Virmani of the LSTA and Gemma Lawrence-Pardew of the LMA. We hope you find this discussion as insightful as those who attended the session in our London office. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have on the topic.

Episode Summary  Hosts:  Winnie Chung, Senior Associate, Corporate Solutions  Nicholas Gandolfo, Vice President, Corporate Solutions   Growing Innovation with Sustainable Finance Instruments  In this episode, Nick and Winnie chat about the latest news and transactions in the sustainable finance space. With a focus on innovation, they discuss the new ways in which issuers are leveraging sustainable finance instruments to fund their green and social projects. For instance, the World Bank's recent bond issuance will forgo investor coupon payments, instead using the funds to finance a project manufacturing water purifiers in Vietnam. Using purifiers will replace biomass burning (traditionally used to boil water to make it safe to drink), resulting in lower carbon emissions. The carbon emissions saved will be turned into carbon credits and sold to fund a coupon payment to bond investors. Nick also notes innovation picking up in the areas of blue bonds and the maritime economy as well as biodiversity-focused finance activities.    Investors Swing Back to Use of Proceed Instruments  Winnie and Nick also touch on the growing ambivalence towards sustainability-linked instruments. In 2022, sustainability-linked bonds and loans seemed to lose some of their appeal as scrutiny of targets and performance indicators intensified and accusations of greenwashing arose. Adding to the discontent – slipping targets. Analysis from Barclays finds that nine out of 12 SLBs with target measurement dates in 2023 are off track to hit those targets. Consequently, we're seeing a swing back toward traditional use of proceed instruments. This is particularly true within the green bond market which took less of a hit compared to other types of labelled bonds in 2022. With more green bond disclosure guidance and regulations expected from more jurisdictions, such as India, Bolivia, EU and Latin America, investors will likely continue to seek security in the more structured green bond market.   Key Moments 0:02:20  Market overview  0:02:37  Expected market rebound  0:03:15  Innovative structure from World Bank  0:04:03  Swing back to use of proceeds?  0:04:23  Innovative structure from ENEL  0:05:10  Blue and biodiversity activity  0:05:31  Continued scrutiny of SLLs and SLBs  0:06:40  ASEAN developments  0:07:34  New CBI reports  0:08:04  SLB and SLL overview  0:11:52  Green bonds overview  0:17:35  Green loans overview  0:17:57  Audience questions  0:21:05  Social bonds and loans overview  0:22:03  Labeled products, transition bonds and regulatory updates    Links to Select Resources Bloomberg – ESG Bond Sales Hit 12-Month High; Debut Deals Pile Up  Environmental Finance – Sustainable Bonds Insights 2023 Published Environmental Finance – World Bank Issues ‘Unique' Carbon Credit-Linked Bond Environmental Finance – IFC adds ‘Blue', Biodiversity Projects to Green Bond Framework UN Environment Programme – Countries Search for Financing to Counter Biodiversity Crisis  Responsible Investor – SLB Issuers ‘Likely to Miss Majority of 2022 and 2023 Targets' Environmental Finance – SLB Issuers ‘Lose Their Halo,' says HSBC LSTA – Drafting Guidance for Sustainability-Linked Loans (Feb 17, 2023) Environmental Finance – Philippines Opens Consultation on Sustainability-Linked Bonds Standards Financial Times – Sustainability Bond Market Stumbles as Investors Get Picky CarbonCredits.com – JBS “Green Bonds” and GHG Emissions Under Investigation  Bloomberg – Barclays Sees Real Greenwashing Risk in ESG Debt-Swap Market Climate Bonds Initiative – Sustainable Agriculture Brief Climate Bonds Initiative – Scaling Credible Transition Finance – ASEAN Edition Capital Monitor – Why Japan Embraces Transition Bonds  Business Standard – SEBI Asks Issuers for Additional Disclosure in Guidelines on Green Bonds ESG Clarity – Mandatory Climate Finance Disclosure ‘Evens Playing Field' for Australia Sustainalytics SPOs: Nokia Sustainable Finance Framework Second Party Opinion State Bank of India ESG Financing Framework Second-Party Opinion Hertz Green Finance Framework Second-Party Opinion    More Episodes  

Episode Summary Hosts Nicholas Gandolfo, Vice President, Corporate Solutions Sabrina Tang, Sales Associate, Corporate Solutions In this episode, Nick and Sabrina reviewed what's new in sustainable finance and shared some notable deals and transactions that have hit the market. They discussed the overall decline of global bond markets and expressed some optimism for the year to come, as sustainability is a central issue for investors, companies and governments and is still closely tied to capital markets. They also shared research on the carbon performance of food producers and a report on how to scale credible transition finance among countries in Southeast Asian.  Sustainable Market Hopes for 2023  If you've been following sustainable finance market activities, it's no surprise that 2022 was not a great year overall. Markets were down in volume for the first time in 11 years. According to figures from Environmental Finance, total annual sustainable bond issuance fell 19%, from US$1.05 trillion in 2021 to US$845 billion in 2022. Social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds were hit hardest – down about 25% compared to 2021, while green bonds fared a bit better with a more modest 14% issuance decline.  Despite the lower issuance volumes, there is hope for a rebound in 2023 as overall markets stabilize and issuers seek financing. This year may see use of proceed instruments like green bonds continue to gain ground compared to performance based, sustainability-linked bonds. We may also see more transition deals, social and biodiversity focused activity, as well as more complicated transactions going to market. It's still early days, so let's see how things develop.  Updated Standard for Reporting Financed Emissions in Sovereign Debt  If you're a bank trying to figure out how to report on your financed emissions, be sure to read through Partnership for Carbon Reporting Financials' (PCAF) recently updated standard. Global GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard for Financed Emissions addresses demands from financial institutions and provides a methodology to help investors in sovereign debt account and report greenhouse gas emissions. The methodology on sovereign debt includes bonds and loans of all maturities, however, only debt issued by the central bank on behalf of the sovereign would be covered. The methodology also requires reporting of scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions and recommends getting the information from countries' reported data via the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Episode Summary Hosts Nicholas Gandolfo, Vice President, Corporate Solutions Aditi Bhatia, Senior Regional Sales Manager, Corporate Solutions In this episode, our hosts Nick and Aditi discuss the recently held COP27 and COP15 conferences and what their outcomes could mean for green and social financing globally. They also touch on the concept of blended finance and how that might be used to support climate adaptation in emerging markets. Increasing activity among sovereigns is also discussed, as countries come to market more frequently with sustainable debt. Lastly, Nick and Aditi share a rundown of other notable sustainable finance transactions.  Climate High on the International Agenda  Given the current climate crisis, expectations were high for COP27. From an environmental standpoint, the final agreement was seen as a disappointment by some observers. However, the conference closed with a ground-breaking agreement to set up a loss and damages fund, which aims to provide financial assistance to countries vulnerable to, or impacted by, the effects of climate change. COP15, the United Nations Biodiversity Conference, also concluded late last year with a landmark agreement that includes measures to halt and reverse nature loss – such as putting 30% of the planet and 30% of degraded ecosystems under protection by 2030. The plan also includes a target of mobilizing at least US$200 billion per year from public and private sources for biodiversity-related funding. Finally, the G20 conference in Bali also turned its attention to issues around climate change, low-carbon transition, and climate adaptation.  Innovative Solutions to Fund Sustainable Development  With an estimated US$9.2 trillion needed to meet global climate and environmental goals,1 private and public sectors are looking for more ways to funnel money to finance mitigation and conservation efforts. To address this need, market participants are discussing innovative solutions like blended finance, which is the strategic use of development finance (such as public or philanthropic capital) and private investment capital to fund sustainable development projects in developing countries.2  A new crop of instruments is also emerging to offer potential solutions. This includes instruments like debt-for-nature swaps, a financial mechanism that allows portions of a developing country's foreign debt to be forgiven, in exchange for commitments of investment in biodiversity conservation and environmental policy measures.3 We anticipate seeing more variety in the types of instruments being developed to support conservation and climate adaptation in countries most vulnerable to climate change.  Check Out Our Special Episode on Sustainable Finance in the Metals and Mining Sector  In case you missed it, we recently took a deep dive into the sustainable and transition finance opportunities within the metals, mining and commodities sector. Our panel discussed key considerations for banks, issuers and investors interested in using sustainable finance instruments to help fund improvements across the sector and mitigate potential risks. The sector is incredibly important because of its crucial role in the global transition to a low-carbon economy. However, these companies face numerous environmental and social challenges, which if not managed effectively could negatively impact their access to capital.

Episode Summary Hosts Nicholas Gandolfo, Director, Corporate Solutions Aditi Bhatia, Regional Sales Manager, Corporate Solutions In this episode, Nick and Aditi highlight developments in the sustainable finance markets as 2022 winds down. They note that global cumulative green bond issuance has surpassed the US$2 trillion threshold, marking another milestone for sustainable finance. They also discuss the diversification of key performance indicators used in sustainability-linked instruments, the growing opportunities for using sustainable finance as a tool to fund climate adaptation in emerging markets, and regulators' increasing focus on reporting for scope 3 emissions. Finally, they respond to audience questions about impact investing and sleeper sustainability-linked loans. Cumulative Issuance of Climate-aligned Bonds Passes $2 Trillion Mark According to the Climate Bonds Initiative, to date over US$2 trillion in greens bonds have been issued globally, marking another major milestone in sustainable finance. Despite broader market conditions resulting in lower volumes year-over-year, use of proceed bonds, such as green bonds, are rebounding slightly.  Using Sustainable Finance to Support Funding in Emerging Markets  When thinking about how to ensure a just transition, a recurring question is, "How can market participants initiate more financing for adaptation, resilience, and development, to help countries who most vulnerable to climate change, but that are not major contributors to it?" One answer is sustainable finance. Sustainability-labeled debt can provide opportunities to drive and scale financial flows in emerging markets. Though issuing a green bond doesn't eliminate the liquidity, currency or country risk facing some emerging market nations, hopefully more funds can be leveraged under the sustainable finance umbrella to drive additional financing and a just climate transition for these countries.   Growing Regulatory Focus on Scope 3 Reporting  Regulators globally continue to push for disclosure and reporting of scope 3 emissions. In October 2022, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) voted unanimously to require companies to disclose scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, and will develop relief provisions to help companies apply the scope 3 requirements.2 This follows the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's proposal for climate disclosure published earlier this year which includes reporting on Scope 3 for large U.S. companies.   0:00:51  Market overview  0:01:24  Use of proceed rebound  0:02:15  CBI conference outcomes  0:03:22  Green bond issuances pass US$2 trillion globally  0:04:08  FCA report on fund labeling  0:04:58  CBI reports and consultations  0:05:36  Scope 3 reporting in the news  0:06:21  Sustainable finance for emerging markets  0:07:01  Funding instruments to support conservation - blended finance and debt to nature swaps  0:09:00  Green and social loans tied to banks SLL pools  0:09:46  SLB and SLL overview  0:14:04  Audience questions  0:19:47  Green bonds and loans overview  0:25:40  Social bonds and loans overview  0:29:05  Labeled products, transition bonds and regulatory updates  Links to Select Resources Environmental Finance – World Bank Warns of SLB Greenwashing Risk From 'Structural Loopholes' Environmental Finance – Climate Bonds Standard Extension to SLBs to 'Fire Integrity' Global Capital – French Agencies Struggle to Tighten Green Deals Environmental Finance – EM Financial Institution Green Bond Impact Reporting Study Published IISD - AfDB Report Assesses Feasibility of Debt-for-Nature Swaps in Africa Environmental Finance – Investors Calling on TNFD to Address Nature Restoration Environmental Finance – Inflation Reduction Act 'Could Transform Bond Market', Conference Hears Global Capital – Bonds Tied to Banks' SLL Pools Could Spread in 2023 Global Capital – Dearth of Climate Adaptation Bonds Spurs Call for New Asset Class Delano – Green Bonds Issuers Adapt to EU Taxonomy: LuxSE Climate Bonds Initiative – 101 for Policymakers Climate Bonds Initiative Hydrogen Production Criteria Sustainalytics SPOs: Uruguay's Sovereign Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework Second-Party Opinion CEMEX Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework Second-Party Opinion PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework Second-Party Opinion Government of Chile Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework Second Party Opinion Japan Bank for International Cooperation Green Bond Second-Party Opinion IIFL Home Finance Limited Sustainable Finance Framework Second-Party Opinion Georgian Renewable Power Operations Green Bond Framework Second-Party Opinion Carmila Green Bond Framework Second-Party Opinion First Help Financial Social Bond Framework Second-Party Opinion    More Episodes

Episode Summary  Hosts  Nicholas Gandolfo, Director, Corporate Solutions   Sabrina Tang, Sales Associate, Sustainable Finance Solutions   Despite continued pressure on global financial markets, our hosts Nick and Sabrina highlight some bright spots within sustainable finance. From the array of green bond transactions coming to market in recent months, to sovereigns exploring sustainable finance opportunities to fund biodiversity, marine conservation and social programs, the sustainable finance market continues to push against market headwinds.   Biodiversity Rising on Sustainable Finance and Corporate Agendas  With COP27 ending and the UN Conference on Biodiversity (COP15) coming up in December, the issue of biodiversity continues to resonate among sustainable finance market participants. Companies are starting to focus more on biodiversity issues and their impact, and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures has also updated its beta framework. Sovereigns, such as Uruguay, are also joining the movement by funding efforts around biodiversity using sustainability-linked bonds.   Use of Proceed Instruments Increase as Sustainability-Linked Instruments Faces Scrutiny Contracting global financial markets has put pressure on the bond market. However, Nick does note a slight uptick in the number and variety of labeled use of proceed bond issuances in recent months relative to sustainability-linked bond issuances. This could be due, in part, to the growing scrutiny of linked bond instruments. Should they be more nuanced? Do the benefits of the pricing dynamics outweigh the penalties for not meeting targets? These are all valid questions being raised about these financing instruments that have seen tremendous growth over the last few years. It remains to be seen whether these questions translate into new norms for the market.   Key Moments 0:00:57 Market overview 0:01:29 GSSS market pressures 0:02:40 Biodiversity and sovereign SLBs 0:03:51 Continuing scrutiny of SLBs 0:04:25 FCA consultation paper 0:05:15 Banks explore funding pools of SLLs 0:05:45 Singapore banks commitments to Net Zero 0:06:32 New reports from Climate Bonds Initiative 0:07:55 SLB and SLL overview 0:13:39 Audience questions 0:17:56 Green bonds overview 0:20:47 Green loans overview 0:22:25 Social bonds and loans overview 0:23:46 Labeled products overview 0:24:50 Transition bonds overview 0:26:41 Regulatory and country updates List of Select Resources Investment Magazine: Responsible Investment Hits Record in 2021   Investment Week: S&P Global Ratings Downgrades GSSSB Forecast by 16%  Environmental Finance: Sustainable Bonds Take Record Market Share Environmental Finance: NatWest: Biodiversity-linked Sovereign SLBs Could Be 'Powerful' Environmental Finance: HSBC: COP15 Will See More Green Bond Focus on Biodiversity  Environmental Finance: SLB Step-ups Have Almost No Correlation With Credit Quality  Environmental Finance: Sovereign Sustainability-linked Debt Initiative Launched  Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): Sustainability Disclosure Requirements and Investment Labels  Finance Asia: Social Risks Can Be Credit Risks: Evaluating the 'S' in ESG  Finextra: Greenwashing is a Systemic Problem at UK Banks  Climate Bonds Initiative: New Social and Sustainability Bond Database: Enhanced Screening Capabilities for Full GSS+ Market  Sustainalytics SPOs: Uruguay's Sovereign Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework Second-Party Opinion  More Episodes

“There will be a decentralized multiplicity of new political arrangements and subdivisions, from chaotic black holes to well-ordered enclaves. The success of the latter will be due to the freedom they embrace, the individual rights they protect, and their ability to defend their enclaves. New industries, technologies, modes of commerce, and ways of life will emerge. This will be the true great reset, not the Klaus Schwab version, which only recycles failed concepts of centralized power and collective subjugation on a larger scale.” This Is Your Last Chance with Robert Gore Robert is a writer, investor, attorney, and former bond trader.
