Please join us for the second in a series of environmental conflict resolution forums, aimed at bringing about fresh thinking and creating solutions between stakeholders on issues that are important to Hong Kong. With the government’s HK$30bn commitment to solve the pending landfill crisis, comes a number of options which can impact the amount of waste that would ordinarily be sent to landfills. These solutions include incineration, reduction, improved recycling and new re-use or fuel options which will bring opportunities for jobs, innovation and improvements. Come and join in this dialogue to see how conflict resolution methods can be used to bring about new avenues forward on issues where a wide variety of stakeholders can be benefactors.
