Green Cities focuses on creating urban spaces that are not only habitable but are also in harmony with nature. We touch upon procurement rules, circularity, efficient resource management and biodiversity protection, with a focus on Northen Metropolis. 2.

Organising industry-specific discussions encourages meaningful dialogue that bridges various sectors. These conversations are expected to yield a set of actionable policy recommendations to reflect the unique challenges and opportunities within industry sectors in the context of Hong Kong and the wider region. At the end of the event, the recommendations will be delivered to the HKSAR government, serving as suggestions for integrating sustainability more profoundly into our societal fabric and signalling a collaborative approach between Europe and the Hong Kong government and business community. ​ The evening promises to be a remarkable occasion for exchanging views, fostering connections, expanding horizons, and strengthening alliances between diverse stakeholders by allowing time for networking in a relaxed environment including light refreshments after the formal programme. ​ Please note that sign up for this event is closed.
