Hong Kong Development & Transformation Series

The world’s economic and social situation is ever-changing. As one of Asia’s international financial, commercial and professional service centres, how should Hong Kong adjust, despite its advantages and good circumstances in the past decades, to face challenges of industrial transformation, competition of Asian cities, the epidemic, changes in human talents, technology development, etc.?

We sincerely invite friends from all walks of life to come and engage in dialogue, and explore various possibilities for Hong Kong’s development and transformation together!

Path of Hong Kong’s ESG: Development and Impact of Environmental Innovation Industry and Carbon Trading

– The emergence of the carbon trading market can help companies and organizations have a buffer period in the early days of environmental protection effort, and help them gradually manage and implement the details and pace of carbon reduction in their operation, ultimately achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

– Could this enable Hong Kong to develope into a key market and progressive concept platform for environmental protection and international carbon trading, thus consolidate Hong Kong’s status as an international financial, trade and cultural centre?

Through this sharing and engagement, we hope that all participants can have deep communication, can be empowered by gathering knowledge, ideas and opinions, and together can act as think-tank and do-tank to create a development roadmap and better future for Hong Kong

香港ESG之路:環保創新產業和碳交易的發展及影響力

近年氣溫越來越炎熱,溫室效應已不是教科書在談論的事,而是實實在在影響你我生活的人類破壞行為所帶來的自己災難後果。暴雨、強颱風、海潚、酷熱及其帶來的疾病、水源不足、地球沙漠化等等已是日見頗繁,對人類命運影響深遠。世界各國政府都同意要大力減碳!

碳交易是《京都議定書》為促進全球減少溫室氣體排放,採用市場機制,建立的以《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》作為依據的溫室氣體排放權(減排量)交易。碳交易市場的出現,能幫助公司機構在減碳初段日子有緩衝期,慢慢管理落實營運中減碳的步伐。另一方面,這又能否讓香港發展成為國際碳交易的重點市場平台、令香港國際金融中心的地位得到鞏固?

鍾國斌歷任多屆香港立法會議員,熟悉製衣業和工業界,近年積極投入碳排放交易市場,在解決地球暖化的氣候問題上出力。主辦者和嘉賓希望藉是次分享對話讓大家交流,凝聚想法和意見,由think-tank到 do-tank,為香港創未來~

HONG KONG DEVELOPMENT & TRANSFORMATION SERIES – “HONG KONG DNA AND HONG KONG BRANDING: ASPECTS OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT”

  • Globalization has caused the current situation to move at a high speed, and the interaction between political, economic and social conditions has caused social development and people’s lives to be affected by a large number of factors
  • Can Hong Kong find out her brightness and special positioning in the world in the face of the potential reverse transformation of globalization?

As a scholar and former senior government official who cares about Hong Kong’s development, Professor Anthony Bing-leung Cheung has written series of articles in recent years, talking about both macro and micro aspects, Hong Kong’s competitive advantages and disadvantages, as well as the structure of Hong Kong development and various psychological aspects of the people. Through this sharing and engagement, we hope that all participants can have deep communication, can be empowered by gathering knowledge, ideas and opinions, and together can act as think-tank and do-tank to create a development roadmap and better future for Hong Kong.
