WASTED is Eco-Business's latest award-winning impact documentary which opens our eyes to the simple truth hidden in plain sight: What we throw away, doesn’t go away. Everything we consume has a lifespan we never see.

‍

The film puts a spotlight on the unprecedented volume of trash in the era of the Anthropocene and calls on us to reflect on our relationship with the things around us.

‍

Featuring a diverse cast across Asia, the film takes an unprecedented look at the region’s landscapes, prompting deep questions and inspiring action across business, policy and individuals to create healthy, thriving economies.

‍

‍WASTED highlights the connections between waste and human health, and its intersection with the climate crisis. It is a visual exploration across Asia, from cinematic aerials to intimate portraits of the communities behind the scenes working to solve this major issue.

‍

We invite you to join us for this exclusive film screening, followed by a provoking panel discussion.

As China strives to advance global governance for the green and low-carbon transition, Hong Kong serves as a vital gateway between the East and West to mobilise finance and multilateral ties. Situated at the heart of the Greater Bay Area, and supported by deep financial markets, the city will play a leading role in channelling international investment into clean energy solutions, climate tech ecosystems and cross-border carbon trade. Meanwhile, heightened ESG scrutiny and assurance requirements, coupled with climate change’s physical impacts on human health, property and insurance, are reshaping investment and policy decisions across China and Asia. Against this backdrop, the Hong Kong forum convenes policymakers, global investors and industry leaders to examine how to align global capital with Hong Kong and China’s sustainable development agenda – translating ambition into bankable action while supporting credible pathways to a resilient, low-carbon economy.

Over half of Asia Pacific’s economy is vulnerable to nature-related risks. Industries across agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, mining and energy all depend on nature with many more subsequently affected down the value chain.  

‍

Hong Kong, bolstered by the Greater China region, is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in managing natural capital as a sustainable and green finance hub. Understanding and managing nature-related risks and opportunities is a key step towards diverting capital flow towards protection, conservation and restoration projects.  

‍
