Description:

In the past year, the catastrophic effects of climate change have zeroed into focus, raising the question of not just how cities can lower emissions, but how communities should prepare for new challenges and uncertainties ahead. The loss due to climate change has estimated to reach US$200 billion in 2018.
The devastation caused by Typhoon Mangkhut in Asia and the California Wildfires in the USA, among other crises, have served as a wakeup call to policymakers across the world. The need to lower emissions and advocate for sustainability has never been clearer. But how does this translate to public interest? What are the financial implications? How should city and business leaders future-proof their decisions now? There are worrying days ahead which demand strong leadership and a resilient response.
In this year's RICS Hong Kong Annual Conference, a line-up of industry leaders explore how Hong Kong is positioned to navigate the challenges ahead - in terms of embracing unique opportunities to become a leading green city, and identifying and overcoming our weaknesses.
