HKILA is proud to be co-organising the 2026 Hong Kong International Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Action Week, also known as “Hong Kong Nature-based Solutions Week“, jointly organised by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Civic Exchange and IUCN, and sponsored by The Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Hong Kong, to be held in Hong Kong from June 1–5, 2026.
Now entering its third consecutive year, Hong Kong NbS Week has established itself as a signature international platform for advancing dialogue and action on NbS for climate resilience and sustainable development. The event brings together policymakers, business leaders, academics, and practitioners from Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and the wider region. The 2026 programme highlights include:
- Adopting a whole-of-society approach, and exploring how government, the financial sector, businesses, professional bodies, and civil society can collectively translate policy commitments into investable and scalable on-the-ground action across urban, terrestrial, and coastal environments.
- Implementation of NbS projects in urban settings, simultaneously showcasing Hong Kong’s emerging best practices and local cases, while also learning from international NbS experts and exploring opportunities for regional scaling in the GBA and beyond
- Translating NbS standards and guidelines into on-the-ground action, through integrated land-use planning, climate-resilient infrastructure and conservation project delivery.
- Mobilising finance and market mechanisms to scale NbS, including sustainable regenerative agriculture and aquaculture, and nature-based tourism, demonstrating how NbS can be systematically embedded into urban development, works projects, flood management, with regional scale potential.
The programme will feature international, regional, and local speakers participating in panel discussions and technical sessions focused on urban climate resilience, landscape planning, policy, finance, and implementation of high-integrity NbS at meaningful scale.
