In the past decade, it is well known that we are facing two major issues, climate change and the
shortage of resources in terms of energy, clean water and clean air. In Hong Kong, as an international city,
we need to optimize energy and resources consumption for carbon reduction yet achieving a sustainable
growth in economy. Therefore, this Forum provides a great opportunity for the participants to exchange
information and experience with each other for more understanding of the challenges and the solution for the
dilemma of minimizing energy consumption to reduce carbon emissions but at the same time to meet the
economic growth for Hong Kong.

The objectives of the annual forum are to enlighten environmental engineering professionals’
awareness through innovation and application of new technologies to reduce greenhouse gases emissions,
protect the water resource and improve air quality. Moreover, the use of new technologies, green materials
and innovative construction solutions will lead to further improvement of the environment and a sustainable
development of Hong Kong.

The forum comprises the keynote session and four other sessions: 1) Climate Resilience and
Challenges; 2) Development of Low- Carbon Energy; 3) Urban Mobility Decarbonizing and 4) Carbon Pricing
and Market. The forum will bring together professional engineers, experts and industry stakeholders to share
their knowledge, experiences and insights on the subjects proposed above.
