The webinar will be available at HKGBC CPD Online Training Portal (https://onlinecpdtraining.hkgbc.org.hk/) later after the event.

This webinar is organised by the Hong Kong Green Building Council.

China is currently undergoing an unprecedented stage of development in decarbonising its national economy. The country targets to achieve carbon peak around 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2060 (the “Dual Carbon” policy). It is anticipated that 90% of power should come from clean and renewables by 2050. In fact, China is already the global leader in solar photovoltaics and electric vehicles, and will develop the largest mandatory and voluntary carbon credit markets in the world. What are the implications and opportunities for the real estate in Hong Kong?

This talk will focus on:

• An overview of the current status of the “Dual Carbon” national targets and its implementation in China; what makes China different from the rest of the world;

• The responses by the building industry in China – the decarbonisation landscape;

• Current status of Certified Carbon Emission Reduction (CCER) and Renewable Energy (RE) Certificates in China; and

• The implications and opportunities for the real estate and building industry in Hong Kong to mitigate carbon emission and achieve carbon neutrality.
