Agnes Cheng
Parks and Trails
CEO
Agnes Cheng is currently CEO of Parks and Trails, a non-profit organization dedicated to elevating the appreciation and awareness towards Hong Kong’s vibrant natural environment, and empowering people to care for and protect it.
Agnes was qualified as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 2001. In 2008, after working as a WTO project lead for 4 years, her growing interest in developing country issues led her to shift to a non-profit career track. From 2009 – 2022, she was Head of Esquel Group’s corporate foundation focusing on rural education and has experience working in many parts of rural Asia.
In 2015, Agnes teamed up with a few hiking friends and started advocating about excessive use of concrete on Hong Kong’s natural trails, which has since brought together the government, NGOs and the public collaborating towards a new model of trail maintenance.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
- Provide more education resources and participation opportunities on the topic of Nature and Climate Change for different sectors of Hong Kong society.
- Enhance the use of technology and citizen science in engaging and educating the public; providing impactful services for nature lovers to enjoy and protect nature.
- Enhance engagement with the government on the topic of trails and nature conservation and the relationship with Hong Kong’s climate resilience.

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in an urban setting refers to actions that work with and enhance nature to address societal challenges in cities. This session will explore how integrating NbS into the design and development of Hong Kong can create a more livable, sustainable, resilient, and equitable urban environment. Some key examples include restoring natural wetlands and reforestation strategies that can help regulate temperatures, manage stormwater and flooding, improve air quality, and provide recreational opportunities. Access to nature and green spaces also facilitate exercise, spiritual nourishment and community interaction.
Using the Northern Metropolis Development as a key example, the session will also delve into the potential for NbS for addressing climate related threats as well as the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration for successful integration and implementation of urban NbS.
Learnings
- How Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can increase resilience and improve human well-being in cities?
- Where are the major opportunities in implementing NbS in Hong Kong’s current urban landscape?
- What are some key stakeholders that need to be engaged in urban planning for successful NbS implementation?
Post-event Actions
- Gain knowledge on the potential for Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the Northern Metropolis and Hong Kong.
- Gain valuable insights on how multi-sector collaborations are necessary for successful application of NbS.

Meet our speakers:
12:45 – 13:35
Leading global cities are significantly rethinking the planning and design of the urban realm in the wake of a deluge of newly available knowledge having become available as a result of technological innovation, global pandemic, and data from climate and environmental crisis. These cities seek to create adaptability and resilience in the face of upcoming and unknown challenges whilst addressing concerns with ageing population demographics, social equity, health, safety, pollution, and waste. New means of conceiving, delivering, and managing urban realm development is being undertaken as a means by which to create better places to live, with local mayors increasingly advocating for new urban solutions. Every city has its own pathways to change, formed from a cultural, statutory, and topographic hinterland. The session will explore how change for better places is happening around the world and whether knowledge, approaches, and techniques can be adopted to suit Hong Kong.
Learnings
- Why can’t Hong Kong make significant urban change as being evidenced around the world? What’s stopping us?
- With lots of new development areas in Northern Metropolis on the way, what can be expected there, and what more needs to be done in the established areas of the city?
- Could whole-system, structural mechanisms for the city be effected to replace the current siloed nature of implementation and management agencies?
- Are there new indexes and measurements that could lead to a quality driven consideration of the urban environment in Hong Kong?
Post-event Actions
- Consider how new modes of consultation, communication, and decision-making might lead to better quality outcomes in the design and management of urban space.
- Explore new methods and timelines of accounting and project or programme appraisal to reconsider the traditional cost-benefit approaches to project implementation.
- Ascertain whether business-as-usual approaches to urban management are acceptable in keeping Hong Kong competitive in the face of global competition for better places to live and work.
- Develop key recommendations to be further developed and shared with the professional community and political decision-makers.

WilkinsonEyre
Board Director
Matthew leads the Hong Kong office and has played a pivotal role in many of the practice’s award-winning projects in the region. He recently completed the ‘Sky Bridge’ at Hong Kong International Airport, the world’s longest airside bridge. He is currently working on the restoration of the Grade I listed State Theatre; new conservatories for the China National Botanical Garden; and a state-of-the-art campus on Pokfield Road for the University of Hong Kong.
Before moving to Hong Kong, Matthew worked on a number of landmark projects including London King’s Cross Gasholders; Guangzhou International Finance Centre; and was the project architect for the Cooled Conservatories at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, working on the project from its inception to its successful completion in 2012.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
1. Our buildings to have a more considered relationship with the outside: much more use of passive means of environmental control before using highly-efficient active systems powered by renewable energy. Buildings that have shaded, outdoor amenity spaces from which users can feel, see and hear changes in the day, and not always find themselves hermetically sealed into highly-glazed, artificially-lit air-conditioned boxes.
2. More and better use of our existing buildings: less ‘slash and burn’ new development and greater use of what we already have. Discussions about embodied carbon are at their early stages in Hong Kong and there are huge gains (and huge carbon savings) to be made by refurbishing and retrofitting existing buildings.
3. More greening of our city’s buildings: amazingly, 70% of Hong Kong is green but the city and its streets remain hard and artificial. To encourage people to connect more with nature, to walk to work and to open the windows of our buildings we need to incorporate more greening on, in and over our buildings.

Public awareness campaigns will educate citizens on proper waste separation, reducing single-use plastics, and the benefits of recycling and composting.
These efforts will encourage a culture of sustainable waste management among Hong Kong’s residents.

Carl Bjoerk
OK Trade
Managing Director
Carl is an industrial automation engineer from Sweden, and a member of the board of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. He started his career in IT security in the military industrial complex and has since amassed close to two decades of experience in supply chain intelligence, particularly in safety, traceability, and sustainability compliance.
OK Trade is a Swedish-Hong Kong startup delivering 21st century AI-powered supply chain intelligence solutions, helping startups to governments across industries simplify compliance, better lead times, and increase margins through actionable insights with minimal setup. SAFE — OK’s on-site monitoring platform —improves safety and efficiency in construction, utilities, and properties globally.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
Hong Kong has the perfect infrastructure in place for data transparency between organisations. Great IT infrastructure. A wealth of experience as a data broker between the east and west. Well-used public spaces. Most organisations have access to so much information in their pipeline without realizing it that can help not just them strengthen and improve but give their customers a richer experience as well.
I hope to see Hong Kong “seize the moment” with emerging technologies such as large language learning models to become a shining beacon for the world to admire in terms of data transparency and collaboration. Together we can make our workplaces safer, our supply chains more transparent, and our environment more resilient.

In the quest for sustainable urban development, public transportation is pivotal in the decarbonization effort. Hong Kong exemplifies this with a staggering 90% public transport ridership. Yet, the city faces a paradox: the number of private vehicles is surging, exacerbating congestion and undermining the reliability and efficiency of public transport system. Compounding the issue is the antiquated and restrictive design of public transport interchanges, which deters the public’s preference for mass transit.
The panel discussion will center around smart people-centric mobility and its aim to explore innovative initiatives that enhance the user experience of public transportation, ultimately promoting increased usage. Our panelists, esteemed experts in their respective fields, will engage in a comprehensive discussion on a wide range of initiatives and strategies that have the potential to positively impact public transportation. Specifically, they will delve into areas such as data accessibility, infrastructure improvements, and provisions for individuals with special needs, all with the overarching objective of making public transport more appealing, accessible, and attractive to the general public.
Learnings
- Initiatives focused on enhancing passenger comfort, convenience, and overall satisfaction can promote increased usage of public transportation.
- The importance of accessible data in designing initiatives and strategies to meet the evolving needs of users should not be underestimated.
- Provisions for special needs are essential to ensure that public transportation is equitable and inclusive.
Post-event Actions
- Identify areas of improvement for user experience for HK public transportation
- Partner with sustainability experts and organisations to stay up-to-date on the latest digital innovations and best practices for achieving people-centric mobility.

Waltraut Ritter
Mobility Research Project
Director Research
I am working at the intersection of pedestrian mobility and public transport systems. Few cities currently collect quantitative and qualitative data on walking, even “smart” city planning often ignore walking as mobility mode. As member of the international working group on walking data standards and lead in the Mobility Research Project, we are trying to change the perception of urban walking. A stronger alignment of walking and public transport could contribute to better use of urban space and increase liveability of cities. I am regularly contributing to the UN World Urban Forum, Walk21 and the Women in Mobility Network transformative mobility policies.
In Hong Kong, I was a senior research lead in the Mobility Research Project at the University of Hong Kong on “Intermodal Transport Data Sharing”, a multi-stakeholder, open innovation programme on sustainable mobility in Hong Kong. It aimed to build a trusted data space for a large and diverse group of stakeholders to collaborate on sustainable mobility in Hong Kong.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
For a densely populated city like Hong Kong, Goal 13 addresses the future of sustainable cities.
SDG 17 is one of the most important goals to develop better collaboration and partnerships between all stakeholders.

Road mobility is a double-edged sword: it’s essential for logistics within the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and Hong Kong, yet it’s also the source of significant roadside emissions, contributing to 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The cross-boundary transport not only affects roadside air quality but also poses a challenge to public health and climate change mitigation efforts.
The panel discussion will focus on evaluating the integration of road transport within the urban mobility masterplan and exploring impactful strategies, technological advancements, and policy measures to mitigate emissions and enhance air quality in road transportation across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. We will also examine Shenzhen’s initiative to establish low-emission zones and decarbonize its logistic fleet which presents a unique opportunity for Hong Kong to accelerate its own fleet decarbonization and enhance air quality.
Learnings
- Understanding how road transportation integrates into the broader framework of urban mobility and exploring strategies to enhance its efficiency, sustainability, and integration with other modes of transportation.
- Recognizing the importance of impactful strategies, technological advancements, and policy measures to mitigate emissions and improve air quality in road transportation.
- Examining case studies of successful initiatives that have established low-emission zones and achieved decarbonization in logistic fleets.
Post-event Actions
- Rethink how your company and industry can contribute to the reduction of road transportation emission
- Sharing the insights and outcomes of the panel discussion with relevant stakeholders, such as government officials, industry leaders, and community groups, to promote awareness and drive action towards low emission road transportation

Aviation is one of the hard-to-abate sectors because of the use of carbon intensive jet fuel without alternatives. With the latest technological advancement, lower-carbon Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is considered the most feasible solution in near- to medium-term. However, Maximising the decarbonisation potential of SAF requires collaboration between sectors in the supply chain, and the policy incentives from the Government to make the business environment favourable to the uptake of SAF. Aside from SAF, industry stakeholders are also exploring other technological and systemic innovations to decarbonise aviation. This session will discuss such innovations and how to strengthen SAF development in Hong Kong.
Learnings
- What are the current climate challenges perceived by the aviation industry?
- How do other regions do to promote the uptake of SAF?
- What are the other technological and systematic innovations that are promising for aviation decarbonisation ?
- How can we take a step further to make Hong Kong aviation more sustainable, in the context of regulation, finance mechanism, supply and demand, SAF positioning in holistic HK context?
Post-event Actions
- Adopt practices to support the aviation sectors to make wider use of SAF a reality in Hong Kong.
- Strengthen Hong Kong’s position as sustainable aviation hub through innovative decarbonisation initiatives.

14:50 – 15:40
As global awareness of environmental challenges continues to grow, the maritime industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices for a greener future. Hong Kong, being a major international port hub, plays a crucial role in driving this transformation.
Ports face several pressing issues, including port congestion, climate and weather risks, environmental pressure, increasing competitiveness, and the need for rapid adoption of new technologies. Managing the transition to green fuels is of paramount importance, but digitalization also plays a vital role in verifying the use of these fuels.
Ports serve as vital nodes in the global supply chain, facilitating global trade. To ensure the resilience of the global supply chain, it has become evident that many challenges can be addressed through the implementation of smart port strategies. Some examples include:
- Reducing the environmental impact of idle ships via predictive technologies, the planning and scheduling of vessels’ arrivals to implement Just-In-Time Port Call standards.
- The use of big data / IoT to improve efficiency in system operations, ultimately saving costs.
- The integration of intelligent port infrastructure with smart sensors to allow the use of automated unmanned vehicles at ports, shore power to reduce emissions, intelligent lightning for energy efficiency and savings.
Learnings
- Which key components of smart ports development need to be prioritized?
- Is industry-wide collaboration among port operators possible or will ports develop in siloes?
- What role collaboration can play in digitalization?
- How to leverage 5G capabilities to enable digital port transformation?
- How does Hong Kong come into play? What are other examples of successful smart ports?
- How can the transition to green energy, through use of biodiesel, electrification and hydrogen, support ports reducing their carbon footprint?
Post-event Actions:
- Engage with fellow delegates to explore joint initiatives for sustainable port development.
- Promote policy changes that prioritize environmental stewardship within the maritime industry.
- Take inspiration from panel discussions to implement practical solutions in your own port operations.

Our sustainability goals for 2024:
Arup is a global collective of designers, engineering and sustainability consultant, advisors and experts dedicated to sustainable development. Our commitment to shaping a better world is reflected in the following:
- Since 2017, Arup has been highly pro-active to align our business with the 17 SDGs – creating shared value for our clients and our communities while safeguarding our planet.
- In 2020, we committed to achieving net zero emissions across our entire operations by 2030, reducing our scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2025. Our public Net Zero Carbon Strategy describes our roadmap of how to achieve this.
- At COP26 in 2021, we made two huge commitments as a firm, moving beyond addressing our own carbon footprint onto the greater challenge of decarbonising the work we do with and for our clients: (1) to carry out whole life carbon assessments on all our building projects, both old and new; and (2) to phase out all fossil fuel energy-driven projects.
