The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London (London ETO), together with Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), supported the seminar "Connecting London and Hong Kong: Scaling Urban Climate Solutions Across Markets" in London on June 24 (London time). The seminar was organised by the Civic Exchange, the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment and the GBA Carbon Neutrality Association during London Climate Action Week.

     The seminar brought together representatives from the climate technology, finance, professional services, urban development and sustainability sectors to explore how London and Hong Kong can work together to develop, test and scale practical urban climate solutions across markets.

     Speaking at the seminar, the Director-General of the London ETO, Miss Fiona Chau, highlighted Hong Kong's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality before 2050 and its effort to advance cleaner energy, greener buildings, sustainable transport and green technologies. Miss Chau said, "Delivering climate solutions requires innovation, investment, sound policy and professional expertise. Most importantly, it requires places where ideas can be tested, refined and scaled. Hong Kong's strengths as an international financial centre, together with its professional services, common law system and close integration with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, position the city well to support the development and scaling of urban climate solutions across Asia and beyond."

     Over 80 participants attended the seminar and the networking reception that followed.
