Dear Hyperledger community,

We have begun our planning for Hyperledger Global Forum 2021, to be held in June. We had a great crowd and packed agenda last year at HGF 2020 and had our grand reception at the Corona Ranch (no joke!).  This year we are of course hosting this event virtually, and using a schedule that makes it accessible to our global community. Please register now, and consider submitting a talk to our Call for Proposals.

We are also forming a Program Committee to oversee the content and the agenda for the event. I would like to encourage you to nominate yourself or one of your colleagues, by sending an email to membership@.... We expect the burden to be approximately 1 to 2 hours a week from mid February to mid April. We offer CFP submitters an opportunity for early feedback, so we will ask the PC to review the submissions and let the presenters know how they can improve their sessions. Being on the Committee does not prevent you from submitting talk proposals of your own. Nominations close February 20th.

Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks in advance!

Brian

Thought this report would be of interest to you-all. I wonder if there would be some potential in a Hyperledger response; perhaps a blog post written by a SIG participant or two, or ways in which Grid can or has been used along these lines?

Cut 50% of emissions & add 1% consumer cost to everyday items 

View a web version of this email here Amanda Russo, Public Engagement, World Economic Forum, arus@..., +41 79 392 6898   Supply Chains Decarbonization Offers Game-Changing Opportunity for Companies to Fight Climate Change Decarbonizing supply chains is an opportunity for corporate climate action - emissions created along the supply chains of most consumer-facing industries can far outweigh emissions created in their own operations Eight supply chains account for more than 50% of global emissions and fully decarbonizing these would add just 1%-4% to end-consumer costs for many everyday items It is possible to reduce a large proportion of supply chain emissions with technologies that are readily available and can be deployed at low costs There are nine major actions that every CEO can take to engage suppliers and decarbonize their end-to-end supply chain – many leading companies are already taking these steps Read the new report Net-Zero Challenge: The Supply Chain Opportunity Geneva, Switzerland, January 21, 2021—The commitment to tackling climate change is accelerating in all sectors of society, with net-zero pledges from companies, cities, states, and regions doubling in the past year. Decarbonizing supply chains is a major opportunity for companies to put these commitments into practice. New research published today by the World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shows how tackling supply chain emissions can be a game changer in the global fight against climate change. Net-Zero Challenge: The Supply Chain Opportunity analyzes the top eight global supply chains that account for more than 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions and finds that end-to-end decarbonization of these supply chains would add as little as 1% to 4% to end-consumer costs in the medium term. The report breaks down the major sources of emissions along each of the eight major supply chains—food, construction, fashion, fast-moving consumer goods, electronics, automotive, professional services, and freight. It assesses the key levers to reduce emissions in each supply chain and shows that many can be easily deployed today and cost very little to implement. The report also points to the global nature of many supply chains, enabling companies to support decarbonization across borders and in countries where governments do not yet prioritize climate action. The opportunity for impact is especially high for consumer-facing companies, whose supply chain emissions far outweigh their direct emissions from manufacturing. These companies can use their buying power to push for rapid decarbonization and help fund the transition by co-investing with upstream raw-material producers, which struggle to finance the transition alone. For example, while it costs a steel producer significantly more to make zero-carbon steel, raw input materials like steel account for such a low proportion of end-consumer prices that a zero-carbon car is only about 2% more expensive for the buyer in the medium term. The report points to nine major actions that CEOs should take today to address supply chain emissions, including: Building a robust view of emissions with supplier-specific data and setting ambitious targets for emissions reductions Redesigning products and reconsidering geographical sourcing strategies to optimize for CO2 Cofunding abatement measures and educating suppliers on how to implement low-carbon solutions Engaging in industry ecosystems to share best practices and create a demand signal for green products Aligning incentives internally to ensure that decision makers focus on lowering emissions Quotes from industry  Nigel Topping, the UNFCCC’s high-level climate action champion, said: “Supply-chain decarbonization will be a ‘game changer’ for the impact of corporate climate action. Addressing Scope 3 emissions is fundamental for companies to realize credible climate change commitments.”   Dominic Waughray, managing director, World Economic Forum, said: “This important report shows how companies have the opportunity to make a hug impact in the fight against climate change by also decarbonizing their supply chains. The interaction between governments and companies to seize this opportunity is an important one. We welcome more leaders to join and help build momentum on this important agenda.”   Patrick Herhold, a report coauthor and managing director and partner at BCG’s Centre for Climate Action, said: “The argument that costs are a major barrier to reducing emissions is increasingly flawed—around 40% of the emissions across the eight major supply chains we analyzed can be eliminated with measures that bring cost savings or are at costs of less than €10 per ton of CO2 equivalent. Increasing process efficiency and the use of recycled materials, as well as buying more renewable power, provides companies with major climate gains at very low costs.” About The Davos Agenda The Davos Agenda is a pioneering mobilization of global leaders aimed at rebuilding trust to shape the principles, policies and partnerships needed in 2021. It features a full week of global programming dedicated to helping leaders choose innovative and bold solutions to stem the pandemic and drive a robust recovery over the next year.

On September 27 Zoom is implementing a mandatory functionality change. Zoom will now enforce all meetings to have either a passcode or a waiting room. If no passcode is enabled, attendees will automatically be placed into a waiting room and the meeting hosts will need to add the attendees to the meeting manually.

You should be looking for updated meeting invites from lists.hyperledger.org that contain an embedded passcode as part of the zoom meeting URL. These notices will be tagged with #cal-invite.

Please be sure to sync your calendars if the updates are not reflected on your calendar tools. You can always subscribe to the calendar feed to stay up to date with any meeting changes by following the instructions below:

Opt into a Hyperledger subgroup mailing list (if you wish to receive calendar updates and subscribe to calendar feed) 

• Log into https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/main

• Click on Subgroups to the left and this will display the list of available subgroups for Hyperledger 

• Navigate to the subgroup of your choice

• Click +Join This Group toward the near bottom of the page and this will add you to the group.

Subscribe to a meeting calendar

• Login to lists.hyperledger.org for the specific Hyperledger list you are interested in

• For example, click the "Your Calendar" icon on the left: https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/tsc/calendar

• Scroll to the bottom of the page

• Click the "Subscribe to Calendar" button

• copy the URL that is generated

• Paste the URL using whatever method your calendar reader uses for internet calendar subscriptions
