Agreed salient items include strengthening efforts to establish a dedicated fund for loss & damage, maintaining a clear intention to keep the global temperature increase within 1.50C, holding accountable businesses and institutions, mobilizing more financial support for developing countries and making the pivot toward implementation.<\/p>

Regarding the complex challenges of simultaneously dealing with multiple stressors relating to climate change, the COP27 also highlighted the need of scaling-up the role of engineering knowledge in informing actions and decisions on resilience and sustainability. As such, engineering sector especially environmental professional exper- tise is directly invested in the outcome of COP27, not only because engineering solu- tions are crucial for achieving net zero targets but boosting green engineering innova- tion momentum is also imperative for ensuring a sustainable future.<\/p>

In this context, this forum aims to discuss and share knowledge, expertise and experi- ences on the role of engineers in a new eco-system that could help Hong Kong’s net zero transition. It will focus on Engineering challenges and innovation opportunities in three sessions: 1) Driving Net-Zero Transition in Power Generation Sector; II) Scaling-up Actions for Building Energy Consumption towards Net-Zero; and III) Roadmap for Net-Zero Mobility\/Road Transport System.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
