IPCC scientists have warned that a 1.5 degrees Celsius rise in temperatures is a crucial threshold for avoiding the most dangerous and irreversible effects of climate change.
To prevent the planet from passing the point of no return, this is the defining decade.
#Thought leadership
Dr. Jimmy Chiang will welcome the audience and share more about why Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area is a critical place for those interested in green tech and financing.
Mr. KS Wong, Secretary for the Environment for the HKSAR Government, will welcome attendees and share the steps that need to be taken in order for Hong Kong to meet its ambitious carbon reduction goals by the end of this decade.
Dr. Jonathan Woetzel from the McKinsey Global Institute will share how climate change will affect different parts of China, and what the mitigation and adaptation strategies may be. In particular, he will share insights on how technologies, policy initiatives and businesses can work together to tackle these challenges in Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area, as well as help us meet the 1.5°C climate target goals.
Food production -- and its inevitable byproduct, food waste, are both big drivers of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. In this panel, panelists will share their insights and knowledge on what can be done in a city like Hong Kong to encourage consumers to move towards a plant-based diet and reduce food waste. Panelists would also explore how technology could be further leveraged to tackle this problem and upcoming trends.

To tackle a global climate crisis, the financial tools and data infrastructure that supports green tech can be as important as the technology itself. Experts and entrepreneurs in the sector of green finance and data will share the technological infrastructure that needs to be set up to power everything from carbon markets, ESG reporting, to cleantech projects.
A less considered side of the ever-expanding Internet is the carbon emissions of electricity used to power data centres. How are software and Web3 companies reducing/offsetting their carbon emissions? Leading experts and entrepreneurs from the sector will share their insights on the role data plays in planning for sustainability, as well as measures taken to reduce and offset their impact on the environment.
