What Does Green Finance Do For Climate Change – The Role of Hong Kong?

Hybrid Event with Limited Seatings Available

The European Commission is set to present a new set of EU Taxonomy criteria that will define economic activities that make a significant contribution to environmental objectives. Meanwhile, EU, China, Hong Kong and other international partners are discussing within the EU-launched International Platform for Sustainable Finance. Hong Kong is considering a taxonomy that would support interoperability and bridge green financial flows between the Mainland and the rest of the world.

This discussion will provide the latest updates and synergies as well as insights on what green finance can (and cannot?) do for climate change.
