34 CHAPTER 4 Nexus between Mitigation and Adaptation WORKSHOP A Urban Planning, Infrastructure, Biodiversity, Climate Risks and Finance The purpose of Workshop A on Day 1 of CARE2022 was to enable wide-ranging discussions with stakeholders about the nexus between mitigation and adaptation. The presentations made by Planning Department (PlanD) and by others in the academic and private sectors covered a range of related topics that included two major climaterelated physical risks (landslides and sea level rise), role of biodiversity, provision of energy and mobility, contribution from I&T and financing the green transition. While time did not permit extensive discussions, several issues did emerge that would benefit from further exploration – these included: • Land use planning in Hong Kong. • Built environment and nature conservation. • Landslide prevention and sea level rise. • Nurturing Green I&T. • Filling knowledge gaps in climate risk assessments in finance.
