[Green Finance Theme-based Research Series] Advancing Climate Risk Management for Hong Kong
24 Jul 2025
Under the project “Developing Hong Kong as a Global Green Finance Centre”, supported by the Theme-based Research Scheme (TRS) 2021/22 of the Research Grants Council (RGC) of the Hong Kong Government (project no. T31-603/21-N), our study comprises a series of cohesive studies that address fundamental research questions, including:
- The Impacts of Environmental Risks on Financial Markets and Financial Decisions
- Climate Risk Modeling and Derivative Products
- The Financing of Green Infrastructure Projects
- Enabling Technologies of Green Finance
- Talent Capacity Building and Talent Development
- The Effectiveness of Policy and Regulatory Instruments in Developing Green Finance in Hong Kong
In this video, the Sub-task 2.1 team will illustrate its efforts to improve climate risk management in Hong Kong by producing fine-scale, location-specific climate projections that address local vulnerabilities. By utilizing advanced modeling techniques and collaborating with the key stakeholders in the insurance and finance sectors, the team aims to support science-based policymaking, strengthen risk management strategies, and promote sustainability for a more resilient future.
