     The Opening Session begins with keynote speakers who look to discuss what the future of sustainability is for the world and where Hong Kong stands. Mr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment, HKSAR Government, is the Guest of Honour who will open the session. "Session 1: Sustainability - The real impact on humanity" looks to discuss how current issues impact people and what progress society has really made in long-discussed areas such as climate change, healthy living and limited resources. "Session 2: Transforming the Built Environment - Plans for the future" brings professionals from urban planning, real estate, engineering, architecture and related industries together to share their thoughts on the future. Finally, "Session 3: Implementing our Visions - How do we do it?" aims to discuss the "how" in sustainable development, and look to highlight practical, innovative ways to move forward.
     With the support of multiple professional institutions, universities and government, the conference looks to be one of the year's highlights in sustainable development, and is anticipated to be an important step forward for addressing important environmental issues and furthering the sustainable future of Hong Kong.
