Katie Chan

Katie is a Senior Officer on BEC’s Policy & Research team, where she works on impactful projects addressing existing and emerging environmental challenges, and initiatives to embed sustainability into business action – Hong Kong’s broader climate transition. Katie leads the team’s work on nature and biodiversity to narrow the gap between business and nature, embed biodiversity considerations into local policy, business and financial decision-making and support nature-based solutions in Hong Kong. Prior to her Hong Kong chapter, Katie worked in the UK with impact investors and sustainability-minded corporates on climate change policy, the blue economy, biodiversity and nature conservation. Katie is a Geography graduate of King’s College London.

My Sustainability Goals for 2025:

1. Continuing stakeholder engagement and collaboration to drive industry action on nature, biodiversity and the broader environment.
2. Advancing and mainstreaming Hong Kong’s ambition on biodiversity topics and mainstreaming understanding of the climate-nature nexus through policy advocacy and fostering public-private sector dialogue
