Unlocking Capital for Sustainability

Hong Kong plays a pivotal role in Asia’s burgeoning sustainable finance sector, acting as a major hub for green and sustainable investments. With its robust financial infrastructure and strategic position in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong has become a gateway for international investors looking to tap into Asia’s – and especially China’s – growing demand for sustainable finance.  

‍

The city has embarked on a wide range of capital market initiatives to promote green bonds, sustainable banking and ESG disclosures, with regulatory frameworks that provide clear guidelines and incentives.  

‍

As a strategic city to China, Hong Kong plays a key role in fostering innovation and collaboration across the region.  With China already on track to peak emissions by 2025 and reach carbon neutrality ahead of its 2060 target, the Asian giant plays an indispensable role in global climate action and the region’s wider energy transition.

How will Hong Kong and Greater Ghina’s policies shape the world’s decarbonisation pathway and the region’s sustainable finance sector?  How can businesses respond to the challenges and opportunities which emerge?

‍Unlocking capital for sustainability, Asia’s premiere sustainable finance and business forum, hosted by Eco-Business and UNEP FI since 2018, will be hosting its inaugural dialogue in Hong Kong aimed at convening the key stakeholders across Asia to chart the way forward on accelerating the region’s sustainable development transition.
