Programme Highlights:

As Hong Kong moves forward with its ambition to become the Green Finance Hub in Asia, the Government, financiers, and businesses have taken the lead to provide financial products and services with environmental objectives. With green infrastructure development blooming on the horizon, engineers could capture opportunities presented by green finance, and join in the city’s goal in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

The webinar will introduce key green finance instruments, such as green bonds and green loans. It will also deliver an overview of the rapid green finance development in Hong Kong. This includes the latest market trends and the Government’s policy roadmaps. Particularly, financial institutions are facing regulatory pressure to enhance green finance provision capacities. Opportunities for green infrastructures will also surge in areas including the Greater Bay Area and Qianhai Shenzhen.
