As climate change adversely affects Hong Kong’s infrastructure and ecosystems, the region is beginning to utilise natural and pre-existing solutions to protect against natural disasters and improve local ecosystems and biodiversity. These newly implemented strategies are called Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). However, they have not been adopted for widespread use in Hong Kong due to a lack of information and incentives available to businesses and other organisations. Through collaboration with the Hong Kong Business Environment Council (BEC), this project aims to provide relevant stakeholders with an accessible and interactive source of information that will encourage them to engage with, invest in, and implement these initiatives. Throughout the project, information was collected through interview transcripts, audio recordings, photos and videos, and on-site notes. Areas of opportunity to increase the understanding and usage of NBS were identified, pertaining to policy advocacy, business incentives, and accessible information, and recommendations for ways to improve these areas were given to the Business Environment Council.
