2025 Bay Area Sustainability Blueprint: Decoding Sustainability Data, AI Innovations and Practical Implementations

On April 16, 2025, jointly organised by our institute and Caijing Dushu, the closed-door workshop “2025 Bay Area Sustainability Blueprint: Decoding Sustainability Data, AI Innovations and Practical Implementations” was successfully held at the main campus of the University of Hong Kong.

Building on the practical challenges and pain points identified in the previous session, for this time, the workshop brought together representatives from both internationally and domestically renowned data service providers, and third-party institutions, alongside the scholars from our institute, to explore pathways for enhancing the value of sustainability data products and the innovative applications of AI technology. This discussion delved deeply into the impact of geopolitical factors and the anti-ESG movement on rating methodologies, as well as the breakthroughs and limitations of AI in ESG data products R&D and practices.
