We invited the Chairman of Securities and Futures Commission &#8211; Mr. Tim LUI to deliver the keynote address, panel speakers of Prof. Bernard V. LIM, Prof. K C HO, Ir C S HO, with theme moderator by Prof Wilson CHAN from HiESD.<\/p><p>Our current generation is getting close to the tipping point of climate and environmental crisis, and it&#8217;s accelerating at an unprecedented speed. However, it is by no means impossible to fight through this challenge, just as how the Secretary General of United Nations have ambitiously stated in his opening remarks at 2019 Climate Action Summit: &#8220;The climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win.&#8221; The devastating consequences of climate change is inevitably endured by everyone on our planet. Facing such challenge, Hong Kong is utilizing its advantages of being an international financial center to foster the sustainable development of climate and environment, and more importantly, to complement the mainland\u2019s green policies and objectives.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-649 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/unesco.hk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/s1_1-1024x573.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unesco.hk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/s1_1-1024x573.png 1024w, https:\/\/unesco.hk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/s1_1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/unesco.hk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/s1_1-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/unesco.hk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/s1_1-16x9.png 16w, https:\/\/unesco.hk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/s1_1.png 1321w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><p><strong><u>Chairman Tim LUI delivered online keynote address<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p>Mr. Lui discussed how Hong Kong as an international financial centre leverages its strengths to lead in managing climate change and developing sustainability across Asia Pacific and globally, and more importantly, to complement the green policy objectives in Mainland China.

Government and the financial community had done a lot of work in promoting green finance. The next step was to carry out regional and global cooperation, such as the Belt and Road cooperation with the Greater Bay Area; further cooperation between various industries, especially with the government; expanding the focus from the needs of large companies to the needs of SMEs; local and local governments play a more active leading role in achieving these goals through public policies; and the United Nations played a more active and leading role in pushing governments around the world to achieve these goals through public policies.<\/p><p>Professor CHAN summarized in the conclusion of the dialogue that the participants clearly saw the &#8220;milestone of sustainable financial development in Hong Kong&#8221; through the practice of local and international green cases, reflecting the innovation and leadership of Hong Kong professionals in green sustainability as well as the service capabilities of different countries and regions throughout the local area, the Greater Bay Area, the Belt and Road, and even the polar regions. We wished Hong Kong&#8217;s sustainable finance to develop at a rapid pace.
