【Nature-based Solutions︱基於自然的解決方案】於曼谷氣候行動周2026期間,思匯政策研究所和國際自然保護聯盟(IUCN)在10月7日合辦「自然向好城市」研討會,匯聚了 IUCN、商界、民間社會和區內業者,共同探討日益迫切的課題:如何在避免為自然和社區帶來新風險的前提下去加快能源轉型?During Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026, Civic Exchange and IUCN convened Nature Positive Cities seminar at One Bangkok, bringing together IUCN, business, civil society and regional practitioners to explore a growing challenge: how can we accelerate the energy transition without creating new risks for nature and communities?

討論指出,下一階段的能源轉型不能只着眼於擴大可再生能源的應用。陸地與海洋資源的競爭、對生物多樣性的影響、社區參與、基建設施,以及數據分散且欠缺整合等因素,都愈來愈影響項目能否順利落實,並以可持續的方式推展。

The discussion showed that the next phase of the transition is not simply about deploying more renewable energy. Land and marine competition, biodiversity impacts, community participation, infrastructure and fragmented data increasingly shape whether projects can be delivered successfully and sustainably.

令人鼓舞的是,解決方案正逐步成形。IUCN正推動全球議程,促進有助自然向好的可再生能源和電網發展。亞洲各地的案例亦展示多種實踐方向,包括由社區參與保育及管理、城市發展、完善生態與社會數據,以及加強跨界別合作等。

Importantly, solutions are emerging. IUCN is advancing a global agenda for nature-positive renewables and grids, while cases from Asia demonstrated approaches spanning community stewardship, urban development, better ecological and social data, and cross-sector collaboration.

思匯認為這正是一個清晰的機遇,我們可連結能源、自然、金融和城市政策,並把全球框架轉化為適用於香港以至不同亞洲城市的具體方案。下一步,是從匯聚各方、促進交流,走向推展示範項目、累積實證,並建立可擴展的模式,推動有助自然向好的能源轉型。

For Civic Exchange, this creates a clear opportunity: connecting energy, nature, finance and urban policy, and translating global frameworks into practical solutions for Hong Kong and Asian cities. The next step is to move from convening to demonstration, evidence and scalable models for a nature-positive energy transition.

【Research Launch︱研究發表】香港在潔淨能源轉型中的角色,不止於金融範疇。思匯於近日發布研究《香港在全球南方減碳進程中的角色:發揮亞洲綠色超級聯繫人優勢的實踐指南》,探討香港如何募集資金、工程專業知識、規管標準,以及機構培訓等方面的實務知識,支持「全球南方」各地減碳。Hong Kong’s role in the clean energy transition goes beyond finance. Civic Exchange is pleased to launch our new report, “Hong Kong's Role in Global South Decarbonisation: A toolkit for unlocking Hong Kong's potential as Asia's green super-connector,” exploring how the city can bring together capital, engineering expertise, regulatory standards, and institutional know-how to support decarbonisation across the Global South.

本報告提出一套實踐指南,協助補足四大環環相扣的環節:
💡資金籌集
💡技術就緒程度
💡標準與規管
💡能力建設

The report presents a practical toolkit for addressing four interconnected gaps:
💡 Capital raising
💡 Technical readiness
💡 Standards and regulation
💡 Capacity building

研究核心訊息是:香港最能發揮的貢獻在於連結金融與所需的專業知識及機構,把氣候目標轉化為具備投資條件且能夠投入營運的項目。

Our central message: Hong Kong’s strongest contribution lies in connecting finance with the expertise and institutions needed to turn ambition into investable, operational projects.

思匯誠邀政策制定者、企業、金融業界和項目發展商深入研讀本報告,共同塑造香港作為綜合可持續發展合作夥伴的角色。

We invite policymakers, businesses, financiers, and project developers to explore the report and help shape Hong Kong’s role as an integrated sustainable development partner.

【Youth Engagement︱與青少年交流】思匯政策研究所已正式開展2026年度 HK2050isNOW青年環保大使(YEA)計劃,匯聚一批充滿熱誠的中三至中五學生,深入了解氣候變化、可持續發展和如何於社區推動相關行動。The 5th Edition of the Hong Kong 2050 is Now Young Environment Ambassador (YEA) Programme has had an inspiring start, bringing together a new cohort of Form 3 to Form 5 students to explore climate action, sustainability and community engagement.

本屆YEA開幕禮於7月18日在香港海事博物館碧海演講廳舉行。我們十分榮幸邀請到環境及生態局 EEB局長謝展寰先生蒞臨致辭,勉勵學員勇於承擔環保使命;而前天文台台長林超英 Lam Chiu Ying先生亦分享最新科學研究成果和自身經驗,啟發一眾新學員從不同視野審視環境議題。38位學員於暑期接受為期八天的密集式培訓,內容涵蓋減碳、廢物處理、可持續消費和基於自然的解決方案。

The programme officially opened on 18 July at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, with inspiring speech from Mr Tse Chin Wan, Secretary for Environment and Ecology, alongside a sharing by Mr Lam Chiu Ying, former Director of the Hong Kong Observatory. Over the following four weeks, our 38 Young Environment Ambassadors took part in eight intensive training days covering decarbonisation, waste management, sustainable consumption, and nature-based solutions (NbS).

透過專題工作坊、桌上遊戲、實地考察和「真人圖書館」環節,一眾學員突破課堂知識的框架,直接與環保業界、政策制定者、商界及專業團體接觸交流。從參觀不同回收機構和香港天文台,到親身加入白泥的蠔礁修復工作,這些經驗鼓勵學生把環境問題與現實世界的解決方案互相連結,並思考自己如何可為氣候變革貢獻。

Through workshops, board games, site visits and human library sessions, students moved beyond classroom knowledge to engage directly with environmental practitioners, policymakers, businesses sector, and professional bodies. From visiting recycling centres and the Hong Kong Observatory to contributing to oyster reef restoration at Pak Nai, these experiences encouraged students to connect environmental challenges with real world solutions, and consider how they can contribute to change.

本屆計劃現已邁入行動階段,同學獲專業導師指導,正着手發展並落實他們的可持續項目。從廚餘、循環經濟倡議,到生物多樣性和海洋保育,他們的構思展現出把知識轉化為氣候行動的信心。我們期待在十一月的YEA成果展覧暨頒獎禮中,共同慶祝他們的成就並分享他們的項目成果。

The programme is now entering its action stage, with students developing and implementing their ideas with mentor support. From food waste and circular economy initiatives to biodiversity and marine conservation, their proposals demonstrated growing confidence in turning knowledge into action. We look forward to celebrating their achievements and showcasing their projects at the YEA Closing Ceremony in November.

是屆計劃得以順利舉辦,實有賴何鴻毅家族香港基金、埃克森美孚和依時能源有限公司的慷慨支持。我們亦衷心感謝教育夥伴及合辦機構香港海事博物館,以及所有支持機構,讓這段旅程得以實現,並為培育下一代環境領袖作出貢獻。

We sincerely thanks to the generous funding from The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Hong Kong, ExxonMobil, and IP&E GBA Limited. We are also deeply grateful to our education partner, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, and all supporting organisations for making this journey possible and for investing in the next generation of environmental leaders.

【Event Promotion in *DCOP17 】🌍 From Nature-based Solutions to investable water landscapes at C*D COP17 Armenia

From 19–30 October 2026, the global biodiversity community will gather in Yerevan, Armenia, for the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (C*D COP17).

At the Netherlands Pavilion, we will explore an important question: How can we move water-related Nature-based Solutions from promising concepts to credible, scalable and investable landscapes?

🌿 From Nature-based Solutions to Investable Water Landscapes: Using Ecosystem Service Valuation to Build Better Business Cases, Public–Private Partnerships and Water Resilience

Bringing together international perspectives and practical cases from the Netherlands, Italy and Hong Kong, the session will examine:

* The standards and safeguards needed for high-integrity NbS
* How ecosystem-service valuation can reveal benefits, costs and trade-offs
* How public–private partnerships can support implementation
* What is needed to translate ecological and societal value into viable financing pathways

The discussion will follow the journey from integrity → practice → value → finance → scale.

Speakers 🎤
🔹 Ms Kitty Tam, Civic Exchange — Moderator
🔹 Ms Susanne Pedersen, IUCN
🔹 Ms Marcia Arredondo Rivera, Wageningen Social & Economic Research/ NL2120
🔹 Dr Alessandro Leonardi, ETIFOR
🔹 Mr Simon Chan, 漁農自然護理署 Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, HKSAR Government
🔹 Mr Vince van ’t Hoff, Foundation for Sustainable Development / ESVD

📅 Thursday, 22 October 2026 10:00–11:00
