About:

Climate change and biodiversity are inherently interconnected. As the UN Convention on Biological Diversity clearly points out, continued climate change is leading to loss of species and having predominantly adverse and often irreversible impacts on many ecosystems and their services. Yet, healthy ecosystems are essential in stabilising the global carbon cycle and tackling climate change in both mitigation and adaptation aspects. Experts and scientists are calling for a more coherent approach in safeguarding the future of our climate and ecosystems.

The 16th United Nations Biodiversity Conference (“COP16”) took place in Columbia in October 2024, whereas the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (“COP29”) is scheduled in mid-November at Baku, Azerbaijan, one week after the closing of COP16.

Governments will be tasked during COP16 to review the progress made in implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (also known as “the Biodiversity Plan”) and the alignment of their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (“NBSAPs”) to the Biodiversity Plan. With the adoption of the Biodiversity Plan, businesses are expected with more contribution, especially through Target 15 - Businesses Assess, Disclose and Reduce Biodiversity-Related Risks and Negative Impacts. On climate change, countries are expected to review and update their nationally determined contributions (“NDCs”, i.e. national climate commitments) by 2025 before COP30 in Brazil. COP29 paves the platform for governments to negotiate agreements and solicit supports necessary for more ambitious NDCs. Major agendas include discussion on new financing targets, regulation on carbon markets, and mainstreaming adaptation.

By marrying the two COPs, this BEC EnviroSeries Conference features the following objectives:

• Understanding the importance of jointly protecting our climate and ecosystems;
• Sharing latest negotiations and observations from COP16 and COP29; and
• Aligning government and corporate ambitions in Hong Kong on the climate and nature agendas

Programme Highlights:
Hong Kong is a well-developed place with one of the most reliability and wide coverage of infra-structural provisions throughout the City, including water supply, drainage disposal, gas, power, tel-com and etc. We can find easily on having utilities availability when doing a new development design and planning. Even the location is offset from urban area, utilities is always not a matter or difficulty to most of new building development.
However, in some really remote / suburb location or other region of the World, there is without completed or insufficient town planning; the developer / owner needs to take care on how to have clean potable water supply, sewage disposal and catchment of rainfall, etc., which many engineers / construction parties in HK general projects may not have change to think about it.
This seminar will share some experience on such kind of projects and can reflect how’s our HK utilities planning and coverage of regulations on waterwork / drainage can help our City development and become one of the leading City in the World. The content will be including:

• Understand of Project / Development
  • Site Location / Nature of Development
  • Required Demand / Consumption and Discharge Rate
  • Availability / Demand on Existing Utilities & Plant Allocation
• Code Compliance
• Selection of Water Supply Sources and Water Treatment methodology

About:

While countries have pledged net zero by mid-century, scientific evidence informs us that global greenhouse gas emissions and temperature trajectory continue to rise, and almost every region of the world is experiencing unprecedented adverse climate impacts. Transition must happen at all levels from national to local governments, financial markets, the private sector and individuals. At corporate level, climate-related standards and tools are emerging, more responsible companies are setting and validating science-aligned targets and action plans. However, the bigger question is how we can ensure just and systematic transition would take place in the next 20-30 years with adequate financing and without disruption.

According to OECD’s guidance on transition finance released in 2022, a corporate transition plan is generally understood as a time-bound, crosscutting action plan that clearly sets out how a company intends to achieve its transition strategy (including targets, actions, progress and accountability mechanisms) and reach its goal to transform its business model, operations, assets and relationships towards low-emission, climate-resilient pathways that are aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Climate finance should be directed to parties with credible transition plans, and transition plans can only be successful with innovative climate solutions in real economy. In this Conference, we will:

1. discuss how financial institutions and corporates understand transition plans and financing;
2. showcase real economy climate solutions that lead to significant emission reductions;
3. facilitate exchange between participants in financial markets and real economy sectors.

Introduction:
The Professional Plumber Practical Examination, hereafter referred to as the “PPPE”, is an effective and important tool by which the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering-Hong Kong Branch, hereafter referred to as the “CIPHE-HKB”, measures an individual’s understanding of all aspects considered to be essential and desirable for the rational, executive practice of Professional Plumber before recommending an applicant’s application to License Plumber of the Water Supplies Department (WSD).

This examination is in addition to, and should not be confused with, any academic qualifications an applicant may hold following successful completion of a plumbing related course conducted by a tertiary educational institution either in or outside the Territory of Hong Kong. In fact, admission to the PPPE is available only to applicants who attained a pre-requisite level of academic achievement as assessed independently by the Executive Committee of the CIPHE-HKB.

Arranged, prepared and conducted by the CIPHE-HKB the PPE becomes the principal means of controlling and developing the standards of the profession in practice in Hong Kong, thus ensuring the continued recognition of the CIPHE-HKB as a Professional Institute of international repute.

Registration Fee: Free-of-charge

Programme Highlights:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has clearly stated that to possibly limit global warming to 1.5°C and avoid devastating climate impacts, global emissions must peak by 2025, halve by 2030, and reach net zero by 2050. Mainland China plans to become carbon-neutral by 2060 while the Hong Kong SAR Government has a 2050 commitment, supported by action plans stated in the Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050 (CAP2050) released in October 2021.

The stark reality is global emissions are still rising. The United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) is shifting the discussions from commitments to actions, where countries committed to develop a work programme to speed up actions on emission cuts before 2030, which is also a major focus of the upcoming COP27.

The CAP2050 includes a four-pronged decarbonisation strategy - net-zero electricity generation, energy saving and green buildings, green transport, and waste reduction. The strategy is presented at city-wide level, and different industries in Hong Kong will have to explore and understand the challenges, opportunities and operational changes they need to adopt to reach carbon neutrality.

In this connection, the Conference will (a) steer industry-specific discussions on how sectoral net-zero roadmaps are developed and what practical steps are needed towards 2030, 2035 and 2050 to bridge ambition and action, (b) inspire peer companies within the specific industry to accelerate action planning, and (c) inform Hong Kong businesses how COP27 or the latest international climate negotiations would have implications to their roadmap and action.

Programme Highlight:
The Minor Works Control System ("MWCS") has proven to be a simple and convenient channel in carrying out minor building works under simplified requirements without the need to obtain prior approval of plans and consent to the commencement of such works from the BA. Its implementation is generally welcomed by both the industry and the public. Since its implementation beginning from 31 December 2010 and up to 31 December 2019, over 920 000 minor works ("MW") submissions have been received.
The Building (Minor Works) (Amendment) Regulation 2020 ("B(MW)(A)R 2020") was gazetted on 8 May 2020 and will come into operation on 1/9/2020. This legislative amendment exercise would involve the addition of 70 MW items offset by the repealing of nine MW items, as a result of which the list of MW items would increase from 126 to 187. 56 existing MW items would also be amended. In terms of Designated Exempted Works items, the legislative amendment exercise would increase the number from 15 to 30, while the presentation of eight existing items would be amended. BSOMES has representative joining the Technical Committee of Buildings Department and provide opinions / comments from Industry on the implementation of the MWCS.
In this seminar, the honourable speakers from Buildings Department will brief the major changes and new addition of MW items under the B(MW)(A)R 2020 including:
⚫ Greening features to promote a green and quality environment, e.g. planters, ponds or fountains; trellises; metal frames for growing of plants
⚫ Amenity features to improve the standard and quality of the building, e.g. supporting frame for suspending air conditioning plant inside building; ventilation ducts and associated frames; fire dampers in ventilation system; awnings
⚫ Building maintenance and repair features to enhance building safety and facilitate building maintenance, e.g. small-sized reinforced polyester water tanks, cat-ladders, curtain wall, cladding
