[ Sustainability, Environment and Humans: How do environmentalists in different stages imagine the next 50 years for Hong Kong? ]
With daunting figures of wildlife loss, unlimited information of the rise of sea level and diverse awareness campaigns, sustainability has integrated into our lives from recycling, BYOB to the change of diet. Just as how the concept of sustainability has enriched our understanding of remedial actions we can take, environmental activists being at the frontiers are also experimenting in their own endeavours: from pioneering a shift in diet and lifestyle, bringing forth the beauty of wildlife through local eco-tourism, to rolling up sleeves calling for actions in an elementary school and bringing environmental protection an item into the agenda of local community forum.
In this session, our inspiring speakers who represent three different generations of Hong Kong will share how they envision Hong Kong in the next 50 years, their journeys and reflections in manifesting such visions.

[ About Future City Summit Annual Meet 2020 ]
The 5th Annual Meet of Future City Summit (“FCS 2020”) is a hybrid summit with Hong Kong Cyberport as a live-stream studio, sponsored by InvestHK and co-hosted by Hong Kong Scholarship for Excellence Scheme Scholars Association(HKSESSA), Global Solutions Foundation(GSF), Impact Circles(IC) and Dream Impact(DI). The 5th Annual Meet is curated with 200 nominated selective delegates, other hundreds of active participants, 4 co-hosts of local and regional communities of regional innovation and social impact and a network of City Partners and Emerging Future Cities Network.
It also delivers to conclude the journey of a 5-year project since the first Summit in August 2016 in The University of Hong Kong. The FCS 2020 sets as a platform to build stronger hyper- collaboration among the network of networks for the next 10 years of development.
The greater theme of the 5th Annual Meet in 2020 is Global Post-Pandemic Recovery. To align expectations of all nominated delegates, participants and partners, the Summit period is a process of new knowledge distillation, value transformation, greater ecosystem integration and actionable development agenda planning.
The 5th Annual Meet Future City Summit strives to be a positive and constructive response to the great reset brought by the shocks and impacts by the pandemic and among the societies in Hong Kong and the rest of the world. The FCS 2020 aims to reposition the values and roles of Hong Kong in developing Asia, Africa and the rest of the world for the next 10 years in a world of high instability and unpredictability. Riding on the pandemic shocks to the supply-side of jobs and urban economics, the FCS 2020 explores 4 pillars of recovery: 1) Human Capital and Future of Jobs; 2) Arts and Culture; 3) Urban Health and Economics and 4) Sustainability and Human Civilisation. The pillars echo the strongest need of supply to the impact, not just in Hong Kong but the emerging cities in developing Asia and Africa. It serves a mutual ground of human-kinds to reconnect Hong Kong’s leadership relevance to the developing world.
