ICMA is proud to support the HKGFA Annual Forum 2025 “Navigating Climate Finance and Geopolitics: Strategies for Transition” to explore the intersection of climate finance, geopolitics, and Asia’s transition to a sustainable future. This year’s forum will assess the challenges posed by global trade disruptions, protectionism, and evolving regulatory landscapes—while identifying actionable strategies for financing net-zero transitions.
Date: 8 September 2025
Time: 09:00 – 16:30 (HKT)
Location: The Ritz Carlton Hong Kong | Hybrid (In-Person & Virtual)
Languages: English and Putonghua (with simultaneous interpretation)
Kicking off Hong Kong’s Green Week, the Forum will assess the disruption to the COP30 agenda, challenges of rising headwinds against the climate agenda, from trade wars, supply chain disruptions, to global protectionism, and discuss the current state of play of the climate transition. Discussions will encompass the practical aspects of achieving a net zero transition, managing climate risks in the context of these macroeconomic and geopolitical trends.
