World-Class Hub for Sustainability
On April 22, we hosted a thought-provoking session of the Distinguished Lecture Series, titled “Myths and Misconceptions of Sustainable Investing: Lessons from a Quarter Century of Practical and Academic Experience.” Global experts reflected on 25 years’ journey of sustainable investing.
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.

截至2025年初，全球加密貨幣市場總值已超過3萬億美元。加密貨幣已從早期只受小眾追捧的專屬領域躍升為世界性金融生態系統。有別於傳統金融市場，加密幣市場全天候運作，沒有疆界限制；目前數百家上市公司、對沖基金、家族辦公室和養老基金均已配置加密資產。去年7月，美國提出《比特幣法案》（BITCOIN Act），以建立比特幣戰略儲備，足見加密貨幣躋身具有戰略意義的資產類別。
