Asia Society Hong Kong Center - Decarbonization in Asia
April 13, 2023
Hong Kong
The Organizer's Announcement:-
As more than half of the planet's CO2 is emitted in the Asia-Pacific, there is no avoiding the fact that Asia must become a leader in the global fight against climate change. While the Asia-Pacific is the region most vulnerable to desertification, flooding, and sea level rise, it also has tremendous resources, including most of the planet's people, megacities, and renewable energy capacity, and must bring all of these resources to bear if they are to reach net zero by 2050.
Join Asia Society Hong Kong Center for a presentation and panel discussion on Decarbonizing Asia, a new book that explores the intersection of decarbonization, innovation, and the Asia-Pacific and provides a snapshot of initiatives by industry leaders and the public sector to reduce emissions. We will hear from a panel of contributors to the book, as well as from a panel of business leaders whose operations and investments will be critical to the de-carbonization efforts of the coming decades.

HKIB Annual Banking Conference 2022
September 27, 2022
Hong Kong
BlueOnion’s Founder and CEO joined the discussion at the HKIB Annual Conference with Dennis Leung, Jean-Remi Lopez and Sky So on why and how banks should get serious about managing ESG Risks and how intelligent technology is used for data and solutions to assist compliance and stress testing for the banks.
Still, a lot to be done, but simply looking at ESG as compliance will not solve the world’s climate and social crisis. It takes the whole financial ecosystem to sync in the right direction – from product manufacturing to structuring and distribution before they are sold to the consumers.
Eureka Nova/New World Development Group 1.5°C Summit
The closing panel Investment Strategy: Washing out greenwashing for the 1.5°C Summit. Great discussion with Amie Shuttleworth, Djoann Fal Elsa Pau Mingles Tsoi on becoming a more innovative and genuinely impactful investor despite all the challenges we face in sustainable investment. We all agreed that a more transparent regulatory framework, more transparency, and more conscious building are needed.
Indeed, sustainable investing is gaining popularity among institutional and retail investors. Trillions of dollars and almost 6,000 ESG funds are available in the market as of December 2021. Sustainable investing remains challenging as there are still a lot of barriers in this space. #Greenwashing, for example, has been cited as the most significant barrier to sustainable investment.
Investors have a crucial role in shaping the sustainable investment landscape and pushing the industry forward. We believe new technologies and innovative solutions are vital in reducing the impacts of climate change and helping us fight climate change. But there is still a lot of work to boost investors' confidence and help them make informed investment decisions.
Speaking of which, every one of us has a role in driving a #sustainable #future. It's never too late to start thinking about what we can do as an individual to help solve the planet’s problems and create a world worth living in for the next generations.
Thank you so much to the excellent panelists BlueOnion ParticleX
