About this event

Hybrid Event with Limited Seatings Available

Transport accounts for about 20% of the carbon emissions in the EU and Hong Kong. Developing a green mobility is key to achieve our common objective for carbon neutrality by 2050. This will also make our trade more sustainable, transform our cities, improve air quality and bring new business opportunities.

In this open discussion, industry leaders, policy makers and the civil society will propose solutions to decarbonize the way we move people & goods.

Event co-organised by Invest Hong Kong
