This session, delivered by Mr Mickey LAI, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation, will unpack Hong Kong’s updated Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP) and its implications for the city’s long‑term nature policy and sustainable development. Mr Lai will outline the vision, key targets and priority action areas under the BSAP, and explain how these measures support resilience in Hong Kong’s ecosystems while aligning with global biodiversity commitments. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how government strategy is evolving, what this means for land use, conservation and community engagement, and where collaboration with businesses and civil society will be most critical in the years ahead.
