Over half of Asia Pacific’s economy is vulnerable to nature-related risks. Industries across agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, mining and energy all depend on nature with many more subsequently affected down the value chain.
Hong Kong, bolstered by the Greater China region, is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in managing natural capital as a sustainable and green finance hub. Understanding and managing nature-related risks and opportunities is a key step towards diverting capital flow towards protection, conservation and restoration projects.
Eco-Business, Asia Pacific’s leading media and intelligence organization dedicated to sustainable development and ESG performance, is pleased to be organising a half-day masterclass.
