At the annual ReThink HK 2025 conference, a team of five HKU students from the SLGP Programme Seunghyun Hong, Kyoko Dobashi, Clarence Watt, Wang On Y., and Kenna Chan partnered with the youth-led organization 2041 Hong Kong to launch a Circular Economy Social Experiment. The initiative engaged conference attendees to gauge public perception and assess the feasibility of implementing circular economy principles within Hong Kong.

Led by Dr Winnie Law, a group of students from the SLGP Programme enjoyed an exclusive guided tour at the Eco Expo Asia 2025 last Friday and visited various exhibitor booths to understand how their sustainability-focused learnings from class can be executed into real-world applications.

Many may think that they work primarily on ESG reporting—which is in fact only a very small part of what our graduates do! We are pleased to have Season Ho, Udara Senevirathne, and Ruoqi Zhu 朱若绮 Zhu sharing with us how they embed sustainability knowledge and skill sets into their everyday work.

Join us for an engaging discussion with our alumni, who will share their experiences of integrating the values of sustainability into their professional lives and how they see themselves contributing to societal well-being and making a positive impact through their work.

Five outstanding Master of Social Sciences in Sustainability Leadership and Governance (SLG) students are graduating with the Facebook Scholarship in Public Policy and Sustainability Leadership and the Centre for Civil Society and Governance Scholarship (CCSG Scholarship) in recognition of their exceptional academic achievement.

The discission forum was successfully held on 30th August 2025 at The University of Hong Kong, bringing together over 120 young talents from AmCham’s Future Leaders Program, and students and graduates from HKU’s MSocSc Sustainability Leadership and Governance programme to learn from sustainability experts and business professionals the driving factors as well as challenges in attaining meaningful and lasting sustainability change.

On 30 August 2025, the Centre for Civil Society and Governance hosted an engaging orientation at Bijas— a vegetarian restaurant on campus that adheres to inclusive employment and food waste reduction—to welcome the 2025-26 cohort of the MSocSc in Sustainability Leadership & Governance (SLG) programme. This event served as a valuable opportunity for incoming students to connect with their classmates and teachers, and gain essential information to prepare for their academic journey.

Dr. Vivian Chu, SLGP Co-Director, invited Jennifer Mok, Founder of PureBamboo (SLGP Alumni 2021) to join her for an interview on RTHK’s Climate Watcher. Jennifer’s sharing offers a glimpse of the ways in which the programme supports entrepreneurs in developing their businesses and the challenges that are faced by sustainability enterprises.

We are thrilled to announce Dr Winnie Law and Dr Vivian Chu as the new Co-Directors of our MSocSc in Sustainability Leadership and Governance.
