This report is the first one of a research series by the Hong Kong Green Finance Association (HKGFA) on integrating sustainable finance markets within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). The series examines the International Platform on Sustainable Finance’s (IPSF) Common Ground Taxonomy (CGT). The CGT provides a comprehensive mapping and comparison between the EU and China’s taxonomies, an initial step towards the convergence of global standards of green definitions. This Phase 1 report provides the Hong Kong Green and Sustainable Finance Cross Agency Steering Group (CASG) with reflections of industry and expert opinions on the anticipated adoption of a local green classification framework based on the Common Ground Taxonomy (CGT). It also seeks to provide the pool of sustainable finance professionals with a broad overview of the practical and conceptual considerations and implications of climate taxonomies.
