Environmental Forum on Green Finance

Previously, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Government has declared Green Finance as a priority development area in Hong Kong. The Financial Secretary also announced in the 2018-19 Budget a series of measures to strengthen Hong Kong’s unique role on green financing, thereby making a contribution to the sustainable development of the world. In view of this, the HKGBC will co-organise the Environmental Forum on Green Finance with OUHK to promote green finance and its importance in shaping the sustainable future.

The event is full house now. Thank you for your support!
