COP29 Express News Series (7): Hiesd and WISDP’s team participated in the “Networking Meeting with Delegates from Hong Kong attending COP29” organised by the Hong Kong Environment and Ecology Bureau

The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) is approaching its end. Looking back on the COP29 journey of the Hong Kong Institute of Education for Sustainable Development and the World Institute of Sustainable Development Planners, one of the key highlights was the networking meeting with representatives from the Hong Kong government, organisations, industry professionals, and youths who were at the COP29.

The networking meeting was organised by the Hong Kong Environment and Ecology Bureau on the morning of November 14, 2024. Mr. Tse Chin-wan, BBS, JP, Secretary for Environment and Ecology of the HKSARG, hosted the session and delivered a welcoming remark. Mr. Tse said that he was pleased that the number of Hong Kong organisations and representatives participating in the Climate Change Conference had doubled in comparison to last year. He believes that carbon neutrality is a common global goal, and the entire world must be ready for the low-carbon green transformation in the future. Hong Kong has the support of its motherland’s advanced green and low-carbon technologies and products, while being connected to global platforms. We have unique advantages as an international financial centre, with high-quality professional services and legal system. Different sectors and industries can strengthen collaboration with the government to seize low-carbon green transformation that brings huge opportunities.
