WHAT’S A RICH TEXT ELEMENT?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs,
blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and
format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

STATIC AND DYNAMIC CONTENT EDITING

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static
content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add
a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that
field in the settings panel. Voila!

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE FORMATTING FOR EACH RICH TEXT

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all
be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside
of" nested selector system.

FOCUS ON NET ZERO AND BIODIVERSITY MOMENTUM ARE DRIVING RISK MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES AND INVESTMENT FLOWS ACROSS THE REGION

On May 12 we held our second annual flagship ESG APAC conference, featuring
Moody’s experts sharing research and analysis on biodiversity, sustainable
finance, and climate-related risk. Key industry figures from across Asia Pacific
(APAC) joined us to share their insights as the region prepares for its
post-pandemic chapter in ESG integration.

Here are some takeaways from the event. A link to the replay is also available
below.

BIODIVERSITY

 * Momentum on biodiversity and natural capital will gather pace but familiar
   challenges remain unaddressed, such as practices around reporting,
   quantifying (including in financial terms) and assessing the impact of
   nature-related risks.
 * Natural capital considerations are intertwined with climate and social risks.
   Nature-related risks are moving up the agenda for policymakers and market
   practitioners. Going forward, the Task Force for Nature-related Financial
   Disclosures (TNFD) will be an important lever of action. Furthermore, the
   panel asserted that sustainability narratives could evolve to include “nature
   positive” commitments from governments, which aim to halt and reverse nature
   loss by 2030. This topic will be in sharp focus as part of the Convention on
   Biodiversity COP 15 Summit in Kunming, China, scheduled for later this year.
 * Natural capital risks have found their place as a consideration in issuer
   credit profiles and ratings. Moody’s Investors Service analysis finds that
   ten sectors across the region face high or very high natural capital risks,
   including oil & gas exploration, agriculture, steel, mining and chemicals.

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE

 * Despite the moderation in sustainable bond volumes in Q1 2022, the long-term
   growth trend remains intact. Global issuance of sustainable bonds totalled
   $203 billion in this quarter, which was down 11% from the fourth quarter of
   last year, and down 28% from the first quarter of 2021. While we expect
   uncertainty to persist in the near-term, we believe the long-term growth
   perspective of sustainable bonds will remain resilient. The need for climate
   mitigation and adaptation financing, accelerated decarbonization efforts to
   achieve net zero goals, growing regulatory attention on sustainability and a
   continued focus on the interconnectedness of environmental and social
   objectives will all support the sustainable debt markets over the long term.
 * Across the APAC region sustainability taxonomies are proliferating. These
   classification systems of economic activities that are under discussion, or
   in development, include the Common Ground Taxonomy (CGT), the ASEAN Taxonomy,
   and domestic developments in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea and
   Australia. This growth is a recognition of the importance of well-defined
   parameters that can support transparency and increase the flow of capital
   into sustainable activities. However, national taxonomy divergence might pose
   potential challenges for investors integrating requirements into investment
   processes.
 * A key theme from the panel discussion was a call for policymakers and
   industry to collaborate on developing transparent, relevant, comparable and
   interoperable standards and guidance, not only for taxonomy development but
   also for wider reporting initiatives that are deepening in rigour and
   broadening to cover emerging topic areas. External reviews, including Second
   Party Opinions, can play a crucial role in enhancing market transparency and
   integrity and building credibility of emerging bond labels such as
   sustainability-linked bonds

CLIMATE

 * The race to net-zero remains top of the agenda across APAC. Interconnected
   areas of risk mitigation, opportunity creation, responsible corporate
   citizenship and responding to investor demand are valued components for
   businesses as they embark on their transition journeys towards net-zero.
 * Companies are making progress on climate related target setting, but data
   coverage and comparability remain a challenge for the financial industry. As
   market players refer to more forward-looking datasets based on transparent
   net-zero commitments, Moody’s Temperature Alignment datasets revealed that
   Asia Pacific’s temperature across high emitting sectors is estimated to be
   2.9°C, far above the 1.5°C of the Paris Agreement. Ambitious targets call for
   collective effort to develop credible, realistic, achievable and measurable
   transition goals.
 * Looking ahead,  Russia’s invasion of Ukraine spotlighted the global issue of
   energy security and has accelerated the diversification of energy sources and
   strategic goals for renewable or alternative energy sources. The use of
   carbon credits to help neutralise carbon footprints is also growing in
   relevance to support Asia Pacific’s participants in their journey towards
   net-zero.
