Climate change has become a pressing global issue and the world is taking every effort to combat against it in different fronts. Sustainable finance and investing will play a pivotal role in directing capital towards projects and assets that deliver positive environmental and social impact for our transition towards a climate resilient and sustainable future. Hong Kong as a leading green and sustainable financial hub can contribute to the world’s effort and support the global transition towards a low-carbon and sustainable economy.
