Came across this post via googling for information on Climate finance in HK. Would you be able to give me more information you know about this i.e what is the status of emission trading/ climate finance in HK currently and how is HK placed in order to become a leader in this field. Is there further information on this trading market and was this setup?

I am interested to know more about it so pls feel free to drop me a line if willing.

Cheers

We are setting up North America’s first social stock exchange connected to a green social network, called the Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX) at: http://greensx.com, which will be launched in the Summer of 2008 to begin trading.

This includes a eBAY.com trading system for carbon credits. It will also trade shares in social businesses. A social business is a business that makes a profit, but benefits society as well. We have a triple bottom line (economic + social + environmental).

Since all the listed companies on the exchange are pre-screened, evaluated, and audited according to social and sustainable guidelines set by the exchange, it will make it much easier for green investors to find and support social businesses. The GREENSX provides opportunities for small green Issuers to access public equity capital efficiently, while providing early stage investors, angel investors, and venture capitalists with greater liquidity.

It is now in the beta stage testing. Check it out at: http://greensx.com.
