From China to the United States, the whole world has witnessed just within the past couple months alone what the devastating effects of climate change can look like. The ‘once-in-500 years’ rainstorm here in Hong Kong last month and the record-breaking flash flood emergency in New York just a few weeks later both highlighted the impact of manmade global warming on extreme weather events, which has become more and more apparent with every passing year.
Co-organized by the HKU Business School and the United States Heartland China Association, the Sharing Session—Hong Kong’s Climate Change Leaders & Mayors of America’s Heartland brings together Hong Kong’s leading environmental researchers, green entrepreneurs, and mayors from America’s heartland to exchange city-to-city views on this critical issue and explore China-US collaboration in climate change mitigation, green economy, and energy transition.
