The Government launched the three-year Pilot Green and Sustainable Finance Capacity Building Support Scheme in December 2022 to provide subsidies to local eligible practitioners and prospective practitioners participating in training related to green and sustainable finance in response to the new trend of developing low carbon and sustainable economy. As announced in the 2025-26 Budget, to continuously support local green-finance talent training, the Scheme will be extended to 2028. The Scheme is administered by the Centre for Green and Sustainable Finance, a public-private collaboration platform launched under the Green and Sustainable Finance Cross-Agency Steering Group.
