Focusing on the intersection of technological innovation and low-carbon development, the workshop brought together policymakers, experts, scholars and business representatives from APEC member economies to explore how technology can better empower the low-carbon transition. Prof. Mengqian Lu, Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department of Ocean Sciences and the Department of Finance at HKUST, and Director of the Otto Poon Center for Climate Resilience and Sustainability, attended the workshop and delivered a keynote entitled \"Climate Technology Innovation: Accelerating Industrial Low-Carbon Transition in the Asia-Pacific\".",[14,15,16,17,16,22],"figure",{},"\n  ",[18,19],"img",{"src":20,"style":21},"https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.meteonex.hkust.edu.hk\u002Fportals\u002FCCRS\u002Fpublic\u002Fimages\u002Fnews\u002FAPEC.JPG","width: 70%",[23,24,25],"figcaption",{},"\n  Prof. LU Mengqian in APEC\n  ",[10,27,28],{},"In her keynote, Prof. Lu highlighted the latest advances in weather intelligence: by deeply integrating artificial intelligence and data science into weather and climate prediction, a seamless and refined prediction system across timescales, moving meteorological forecasting from \"predicting the weather\" toward \"intelligent services for decision-making\". She shared the team's research achievements and real-world applications in weather-intelligent prediction and early warning — including supporting infrastructure resilience, optimizing renewable energy scheduling, and serving the water-energy-food nexus and climate risk management — demonstrating how weather intelligence enables industries to accurately assess climate risks and optimize energy layouts. During the workshop, Prof. Lu engaged in in-depth exchanges with delegates from APEC member economies on low-carbon technology innovation, technology accessibility and cross-economy cooperation, exploring broad prospects for climate prediction services in supporting industrial decarbonization and the region's green transition.",{"title":30,"searchDepth":31,"depth":31,"links":32},"",2,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.meteonex.hkust.edu.hk\u002Fportals\u002FCCRS\u002Fpublic\u002Fimages\u002Fnews\u002Fcover\u002Fid55.png","2026-09-17","md",null,{},true,55,"\u002Fnews\u002F55-weather-intelligence-for-a-low-carbon-asia-pacific-at-apec",{"title":5,"description":12},"weather-intelligence-for-a-low-carbon-asia-pacific-at-apec","local","news\u002F55-weather-intelligence-for-a-low-carbon-asia-pacific-at-apec","Zd_UpLbak8N6QTVytKuQcW1ITeerLjl4vYXcJdJ0GyU",1792997702818]
