Schedule:

This year, the theme of the HKIE International Conference is “Climate-resilience Infrastructure Development”. Climate change is resulting in various impacts, including more frequent and intense heatwaves, storms, flooding, and sea-level rise. These impacts pose significant challenges to infrastructure systems, such as roads, bridges, buildings, water supply systems, and energy grids.  The primary goal of climate resilience infrastructure is to enhance the ability of infrastructure systems to withstand and recover from climate-related hazards. It involves integrating climate data, projections, and risk assessments into the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure projects with the aim of minimizing vulnerabilities to climate-related hazards such as extreme weather events, sea-level rise, increased temperatures, and changing precipitation patterns.

Climate resilience infrastructure development incorporates various adaptation strategies such as elevating structures in flood-prone areas, using climate-resistant building materials, improving drainage systems, implementing nature-based solutions (e.g., green infrastructure), and ensuring redundancy and flexibility in infrastructure design.  

Distinguished speakers are invited to share their views and experiences on the theme. Please join us for a morning filled with thought-provoking discussions and intellectual stimulation!
