To implement the national strategic goals of "peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060", there is an urgent need to strengthen the talent pool in green finance and carbon markets in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The global carbon market has now exceeded $3 trillion in scale, and as the Greater Bay Area is at the forefront of China's opening-up, it must accelerate the establishment of an internationally aligned carbon neutrality professional certification system.
The Carbon Neutrality Association is committed to promoting low-carbon green economy policies in Hong Kong, enabling sustainable development across various sectors. As Asia's financial hub, Hong Kong is the only place in the world with Renminbi, Hong Kong Dollar, and US Dollar settlement capabilities. Leveraging its unique role of being backed by the motherland while connected to the world, the association aims to build a green economy industrial chain in the Greater Bay Area, establish carbon reduction courses, train professionals, create Asia's largest talent database, supply the market with qualified experts, set industry standards and certifications, encourage business participation in carbon reduction, assist the government in policy implementation, and make the green economy a new driver of Hong Kong's economic growth.
