Conference Details

Global wealth inequality is widening, showing no signs of respite. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the world’s richest 1% captured 67% of all new wealth. At the same time, we are seeing inflation outpacing wage growth, technological innovation leading to large-scale job losses, climate change disproportionately impacting the vulnerable, and rapid urbanisation creating uneven distribution of resources. The quest for fairer societies is not new, and it is now a globally interconnected quest. It is a global challenge that requires collective action and collaboration across borders.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is delighted to host the return of Philanthropy for Better Cities Forum this September, with the overarching theme of "Philanthropy for Fairer Societies".

This forum aims to convene discussions and debates among philanthropic, academic, business, social sector and government leaders that reimagine new service models, ultimately striving towards fairness of opportunities and outcomes, and explore how 21st-century philanthropies could evolve in Asia and beyond.
