Meetings

Initiated and hosted by the University of Hong Kong (HKU)’s Institute for Climate and Carbon Neutrality (ICCN), Hong Kong Climate Week 2026 marks its opening today under the theme “From Mitigation to Adaptation — Bridging Global Consensus and Local Implementation.” The week-long event aims to harness Hong Kong’s unique strengths as an international financial centre and a global connectivity hub to accelerate a just, inclusive and resilient net-zero transition. It also underscores Hong Kong’s role as a “two-way bridge,” connecting the Chinese Mainland with the world, advancing the deployment of climate technology, and channelling green finance.
