[ South Asia Climate Innovation and Policy Forum - How The World’s Best Engineer Cradles Drive Massive Transformative Purposes Against Climate Change? @ FCS2021 ]
Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have been ranked high (top 10) in the Global Climate Risk Index by Germanwatch over the years. Combining with other legacies of high population and density itself, poor urban planning and disaster-relief urban protection, persistent relative poverty challenges with widespread of urban slums, the long-reliance of oceans for economic trade and civilisation evolutions among the South Asian nations would become the largest risk for their own detrimental existence threats.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) shows the mean annual value of temperature rise by the end of the century in South Asia is 3.3 °C with the min-max range as 2.7 – 4.7 °C. Climate-related factors could cause India's GDP to decline by up to 9%; contributing to this would be shifting growing seasons for major crops such as rice, production of which could fall by 40%, with 7 million populations in Mumbai and Chennai being replaced and 400 million poor populations; 43℅ of its population in Pakistan will lose jobs in agriculture; Bangladesh will lose land along the coast line, Aggregating all impacts, the socio-economic challenges over food and waters would be a global disaster.

[ About Future City Summit Annual Meet 2021 ]
The planet earth, our global society, has been facing a wide range of impacts and consequences that we have never seen before. According to a UN Habitat report released by 2021, 1 in 8 people in the world currently live in slums or experience slum-like conditions in their surroundings. Over the next 15 years, more than 3 billion people (out of 8.5 billion projected population by then) will face similar housing and liveability challenges. Worsening the global urban slum phenomena, the persisting global pandemic has permanently redistributed the global population from dense capital cities and urbanised districts to 2nd & 3rd tier cities and the suburbs. Restricted travel, cordoned geographical areas and domestic lockdown policies across the globe have impacted labour supplies, public finances, social groups dynamics and economic recovery policy, hence the demand for urban technologies, public policies and new normal smoothening urban planning with stronger effective leadership as an integrated global health and economic policy.
Echoing the Green Economy global agenda first coined by Prof. Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, the 6th Annual Future City Summit is being planned with the theme: “Planet Renaissance: Future Lock In Not Lock Down”(“一場地球復興運動”), to be hosted in Hong Kong and Guangzhou City in the Greater Bay Area of the Mainland China, on 15th - 16th December 2021. The simultaneous Future City Summit African Forum will be hosted in a designated city in Africa on 15th December.
The 2-Day 6th Annual Conference of the Future City Summit (“FCS2021”) aims to explore the most pressing development challenges of habitat liveability and sustainability from the perspectives of 1) urban technologies; 2) public policy and governance; 3) lifestyle and humanity; and 4) planet biodiversity and the climate, with a focus on regions including emerging Asia, Africa, Europe and North America.
