Stronger government policies needed for Hong Kong’s carbon marketplace to thrive: HKEX chief sustainability officer
Paul Chow, group CSO of the city's bourse operator, drew parallels between Hong Kong and Singapore, which he says has implemented top-level initiatives to price carbon and govern emissions trading. The city also needs to boost its relevance as a 'super-connector' for China, say panellists at the ASIFMA annual conference.
These include typhoons which struck the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong last year. But despite massive supply chain disruptions worldwide, emission intensities of global shipping operations improved in 2024, reflecting upgraded efficiencies of the sector, found a report by technology firm Vesselbot.
Scrapping old ships cuts planet-heating emissions, but the risks to people and planet are significant, too.
