Fireside chat with Dr Mark Konyn, Group Chief Investment Officer, AIA Group with Jessica Cheam, CEO, Eco-Business Hong Kong plays a pivotal role in Asia's growth, serving as a major hub for sustainable development investments. Leveraging its robust financial infrastructure and strategic position in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong has emerged as a gateway for international investors seeking to capitalize on Asia's — and particularly China's —growing demand for sustainable capital. As part of its efforts to foster sustainable growth, Hong Kong has launched a comprehensive array of capital market initiatives, including promoting green bonds, sustainable banking, and ESG disclosures – supported by regulatory frameworks that provide clear guidelines and incentives. The city also plays a crucial role in fostering innovation and collaboration across the region. With China on track to peak emissions by 2025 and achieve carbon neutrality ahead of its 2060 target, the region is at the forefront of global climate action and the broader energy transition. Hong Kong and Greater China's policies will significantly influence the world's decarbonization pathway. As investors increasingly demand clear climate transition plans, businesses must adapt and respond effectively. The region must also mitigate and respond to mounting climate risks while integrating resilience into its infrastructure. ‍‍ Unlocking capital for sustainability, Asia's premiere sustainable finance and business forum, hosted by Eco-Business and UNEP FI since 2018, will be hosting its inaugural dialogue in Hong Kong and convene thousands of key decision makers across Asia to chart the way forward on accelerating the region's economic transition towards a sustainable future. Speaker Dr. Mark Konyn Group Chief Investment Officer, AIA Moderator Jessica Cheam Founder and CEO, Eco-Business; Independent Director, Wilmar International and ComfortDelGro Group, MSID, ICDM

The relationship may not necessarily be purely competitive only. Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times will now analyse the hottest political and trending talking points, alternating between its Malaysia and China bureaus. For February, host and deputy foreign editor Albert Wai and assistant foreign editor Chang May Choon connect with colleagues - Magdalene Fung based in Hong Kong, and Joyce Lim in Shenzhen. They wonder if Shenzhen has indeed eclipsed Hong Kong today, and look at how the two cities’ roles have evolved in recent years.

On this episode of The Jason de Sousa Show, we're joined by Wayne Porritt for a deep dive into Hong Kong's transformation. Wayne reflects on his early years in Asia, the impact of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the protests that have shaped Hong Kong's current identity.

California has one of the most ambitious and highly engineered water delivery systems on the planet, and it's being eyed for a new extension. The Delta Conveyance Project is Governor Gavin Newsom's proposal for a 45-mile underground tube that would tap fresh water from its source in the north and carry it beneath a vast wetland to users in the south. The Delta is the exchange point for half of California's water supply, and the tunnel is an extension of the State Water Project, which was built in the 1960s. It's a 700-mile maze of aqueducts and canals that sends Delta water from the Bay Area down to farms and cities in Central and Southern California. This is a local story about a global issue, the future of water. In a three-part series of field reports and podcasts, Bay City News reporter Ruth Dusseault looks at the tunnel's stakeholders, its engineering challenges, and explores the preindustrial Delta and its future restoration. Ruth is joined by Felicia Marcus, the Landreth Visiting Fellow in Stanford's Water in the West program and former chair of the California Water Resources Control Board. This is a production of Bay City News, presented in collaboration with Climate One and Northern California Public Media.

Greater Bay Area concert adds nostalgia to holiday大湾区音乐晚会，假日的一抹怀旧情调More than 100 renowned filmmakers and musicians from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan gathered on Tuesday in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, to celebrate the holiday with a touch of nostalgia at the Mid-Autumn Festival concert in the Greater Bay Area.周二，来自内地（大陆）、香港、澳门、台湾的百余名著名电影人和音乐人齐聚深圳，唱响大湾区音乐晚会，是大湾区中秋电影音乐晚会上的一抹怀旧情调。At the gala, Faye Wong sang the theme song, Bay, which borrowed from the lyrics of the traditional Guangdong nursery rhyme "Moonlight Light", and the dazzling performance brought the show to a climax.歌手王菲献唱晚会主题曲《湾》。歌曲借鉴了广东传统童谣《月光光》的歌词，现场灯火阑珊，演出渐入佳境。With the bright moon of Mid-Autumn Festival shining on the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, nicknamed the Spring Cocoon for its shape, popular melodies triggered the audience's nostalgia.皎皎中秋月嵌于夜空，高悬于“春茧”——华润深圳湾体育中心上方。馆内歌曲空灵纷纷，不断勾起听众的怀旧之情。The concert, which added to the joy and warmth of the traditional Chinese festival, was also a cheerful celebration of the economic prosperity created by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Online Shopping Festival and a cultural exchange sparked by the gala.除了增添中秋佳节的欢愉与暖意，晚会也在为“粤港澳大湾区购物节”以及文化交流所拉动的经济增长，致以热烈的庆贺。With a theme of family reunion and the use of classic film music throughout the performance, the concert featured a grand star lineup, a host of songs from classic Hong Kong films that continue to resonate, a remarkable duration at 150 minutes, and was broadcast, livestreamed and covered by mainstream media across the mainland and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, said Dong Ruifeng, director of the editor-in-chief's office at the CCTV Film Channel.中央电视台电影频道节目部主任董瑞峰表示，音乐晚会将以团聚团圆为主旋律，经典电影旋律贯穿整场演出，演出阵容明星汇聚，港制片老歌荟萃，持续时间长达150分钟，并将通过多家内地以及港澳特别行政区的主流媒体，以广播、直播等形式播出。Over 100 livestream channels on Taobao, promoted by popular Chinese e-commerce influencers and celebrities from the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, were set up to promote over 2,000 products of Greater Bay Area brands. Among the influencers were Viya and Austin Li, who are household names and online-shopping trendsetters on the mainland.在众多内地与港澳的知名电商主播和网红的推动下，淘宝平台推出百余个直播渠道，专门用于推广超过两千个大湾区的品牌产品。像薇娅、李佳琦等主播在内地更是家喻户晓，引领网络购物的热潮。Viewers could also scramble for digital red packets worth a total of 10 million yuan ($1.55 million) while binge-watching the star-studded gala.The concert was simulcast on the CCTV-6 movie channel, as well as several leading television stations in the Greater Bay Area, and broadcast live on new media platforms including People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency.观看直播的观众欣赏明星云集的晚会的同时，还能抢价值1000万元（折合约155万美元）的红包。晚会在中央电视台电影频道、大湾区数家主流电视台联播，人民日报、新华社等新媒体平台上也进行了同步直播。The three-week-long Greater Bay Area online shopping festival, which started on Sept 2, was wrapped up amid the climax of the gala. The festival featured 800,000 merchants from the region, nearly 300,000 brands and 13 million products on e-commerce platforms.于9月2日启动的首届“粤港澳大湾区购物节”持续了三周，终于在晚会的高潮中完美落幕。“购物节”吸引了来自大湾区的80万名商家、近30万个品牌以及1300万个于电商平台上销售的产品。The shopping festival helped revive the retail markets in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, sending consumers from across the country on a shopping spree.

In this episode, CBBC examines China's latest census data in the context of the emerging economic divide between the country's North and South. While entrepreneurship flourishes in the South, a rust-belt malaise appears to be deepening in the North, in the provinces surrounding Beijing and across Central China. China's Southern provinces are outperforming the North in nearly every economic dimension: The South's share of GDP has risen to 65% of GDP; the provinces around the Greater Bay Area now maintain a foreign trade surplus of around 7%, while the North runs a -2% deficit; and while the South is home to China's richest city in nominal GDP terms, the North is home to China's poorest. But why is China's regional gap worsening? Does it represent an irreversible decline for the economies of the North? How should British businesses investing in the market interpret the data coming out of China? Dan Wang, chief economist at Hang Seng Bank - China, explains why UK companies should continue paying attention to business news coming out of Northern and Central China, despite the census and economic data; where UK companies are already finding opportunities in these markets; and how the North/South divide affects the local business culture.

For something a little different, comrade Tiberius recently recorded a talk given by Geographer Richard Walker of UC Berkeley as part of his speaking tour for his latest book, Pictures of a Gone City, about the stunning growth of wealth and the concomitant explosion of inequality in the Greater Bay Area, a region infamous as perhaps the beating heart and crown jewel of modern global capitalism. The audience for this talk was a left liberal/progressive crowd, however both the talk and the book are well worth paying attention to for those of us on the socialist left.
