During the 2023 Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (2023MIECF), four Green Forum sessions will be held on two consecutive days, where a number of experts and scholars at home and abroad will be invited to discuss cutting-edge topics related to green, low-carbon, sustainable and high-quality development. These sessions intend to inform attendants of the progress made in relevant industries in recent years so that they can seize the underlying opportunities for green development.
This year’s Green Forum will continue to focus on the frontier environmental topics that have gained traction worldwide. “Session 2: Green Innovation Drives High-Quality Development” will be held in the Sicily Meeting Room at The Venetian Macao on the morning of the second day of the event (18 August). As an important direction in global sustainable development, green innovation has caught the attention of the public and private sectors around the world. To break new ground for a modernised development path where human beings and nature co-exist in harmony, experts and scholars will jointly explore high-quality solutions for green innovation based on their discussions about the current policies and systems from a macro perspective, in order to drive the high-quality development of different regions, countries, and even the whole world, thereby ushering in a green future together.
A number of renowned experts and scholars specialising in environmental protection inside and outside China will be invited, including Ling Jiang, Supervisory Commissioner of the General Affairs Department, Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China; José Carlos Pimenta Machado, Vice-President of the Portuguese Environment Agency; Liu Liming, Level IV Consultant of the Research Division, Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China; Liu Wei, Director of the Pollution Source Management Division, Beijing Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau; Wen Zongguo, Tenured Professor of the School of Environment, Tsinghua University; and Ricardo Guggisberg, President of the Brazilian Institute of Sustainable Mobility. The session will be hosted by Kou Kun Pang, Vice Chairman of the Consultative Committee of Environment of the Macao SAR Government, and participants will be engaged in in-depth interactions and discussions with regard to high-quality development driven by green innovation.
Speakers will deliver keynote speeches on “Promote Green Development and Build a Beautiful Bay Area Together”, “Restoration Strategy for Portuguese Rivers: Nature-Based Solutions”, “Promoting Holistic Green Transformation for Economic and Social Progress”, “Innovative Management Drives Green Transformation and Development”, “Technological Innovation of Ecological Environment Supports Green and High-quality Development”, and “The Development of Sustainable Mobility in Brazil”.
In addition to encouraging more participation at home and abroad through livestreaming and simultaneous interpreting during the Green Forum, the 2023MIECF will continue to apply for professional accreditation for designated forums and issue certificates of attendance to online and offline attendees, effectively leveraging the MIECF’s role as a platform for professional knowledge sharing.
