Celebrating 9 Years of Impact: Closing Announcement of the CSHK

After nine incredible years of bridging the gap between academic research and real-world policy, the Research Centre for Sustainable Hong Kong (CSHK) at City University of Hong Kong will be concluding its operations this June 2026, coinciding with the retirement of our Director, Professor Linda Chelan Li.

Since our launch in June 2017, CSHK’s mission has been to tackle the region's most pressing sustainability challenges. Looking back, we are immensely proud of how our community navigated rapidly changing landscapes to deliver rigorous, action research across critical sectors: the strategic role of Hong Kong in the Belt and Road Initiative and in the Greater Bay Area, the estimation of Hong Kong’s financed emissions and net-zero policy, AI ethics and governance, COVID-19 policy responses, insolvency and restructuring law and policy, land use and equitable housing, youth development, mental healthcare, to DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in workplace amongst others.

Through the Sustainable Hong Kong Research Hub (SusHK Hub), we successfully connected thousands of practitioners across industry, business, and government with leading scholars, turning theoretical research into tangible, real-life solutions.

Heartfelt thanks to our incredible co-associate directors, Prof. Liang D**g and Prof. Linda Tjia, our long-time former associate director Prof. Phyllis Mo, our dedicated team of past staff and research assistants, including Jeffrey Chung, K.O. Li, Ray Chan, Benny Kwok, Jennifer Hung, Layla Xin Yan, J Chan, Yamin Xu, Cleo Wong, Charles Wong and Iris Kam, and the many doctoral students and post-docs and visiting fellows whose work contributed to the vibrancy of the Centre.

Most importantly, thank you to our members and partners. While the Centre itself is closing, the community we built remains. We trust that the connections and collaborative spirit we fostered will continue to spark new collaborations and innovations for Hong Kong’s future.

Moving forward, please direct any future correspondence or replies to Prof. Linda Chelan Li at [email protected] (active beyond 1 July 2026)
