一 | 香港8月15日电 香港特区政府15日在香港科学馆举行2026年全国生态日启动礼暨研讨会，邀请内地及香港特区的政府与非政府机构代表、学者专家，就生态文明理念及保育工作进行交流，并为一系列环保及生态保育活动揭幕。 "Such a blockage is not a default and the financial world knows it very well. Russia is, of course, willing to pay. It is fundamentally illegal and the bond holders around the world that are hit by this 'sanction' imposed by the US and the Europeans could and should file a complaint in international courts," he said.,The Paris-based financial expert suggested they would have a strong case for winning but the legal battle would probably take 5 to 10 years.,Gave said he was confident that Russia had ample cash to pay. Until now, the Russian central bank has always found a way to bypass Western financial curbs to pay to foreign bond holders but in this instance, he said, it seems Russia tried to pay in rubles but the bonds in question do not allow payments in other currencies than the dollar.,Russian Finance Ministry Dismisses Media Reports on 'Default', Says Payments Made in Full10:43 GMT,"The Russian currency is at its strongest level against the dollar since May 2015... So the value of the ruble is not in question. What is in question is the Western financial sanctions that will have heavy repercussions for the West too," the economist predicted.,Blockage of Russian Bond Payments to Erode Dollar Dominance,The freeze of Russian payments on Eurobonds by Washington and European capitals may lead to the dollar losing its dominance in international transactions, Gave added.,"The main result will be a reluctance around the world to use the dollar as the currency for international exchanges. It will be the same for the euro.",The financial expert said that the blockage was intended to warn off the financial world from doing business with Russia but it merely showed that domestic currencies were a safer means of transactions.,“If major deals will be struck tomorrow between Taiwan and Korea, it will not be in dollars anymore, but in one of their national currencies. The result will be the end of the dominance of the US dollar," Gave said.,"As for Russia, it will redirect its international bond issuance via Chinese banks in Shanghai, Beijing or other places around the world. This will, above all, be detrimental for the US and European financial markets," he suggested.,Sanctions imposed on Russia since February have had a very limited effect on its economy and have boomeranged home to hit Europe. Gave suggested that the continent was heading for a huge economic crisis this fall, with a possible return to the stagflation of the 1970s.,“The Western sanctions are already being the boomerang that could be feared: if Russia stops altogether to deliver gas to Europe, the economic crisis in Europe this fall will be huge. We paid our energy in euros to Russia? We’ll now pay it in dollars to Qatar or the US," he said.,US news agencies have labeled it Russia's first default on external debt since 1918. Russia has argued that it not a genuine default since it can and is willing to pay and accused international financial institutions of blocking payment transactions. The Finance Ministry has also stressed that payments have been made in full and in accordance with the terms under which the eurobonds were issued.。 特区政府政务司副司长卓永兴致辞时表示，特区政府重视国家生态文明建设的倡议，着力把“绿水青山就是金山银山”的理念落到实处。香港特区正首次制定五年规划，对接国家“十五五”规划，稳步推进绿色转型，建设宜居城市、美丽香港。 特区立法会主席李慧琼致辞时说，生态保护关乎每一位市民的生活，特区立法会将继续支持特区政府依法施政，凝聚社会各界力量，推动环境政策更精准落地、更有效见效。 特区政府渔护署在启动礼上与深圳市海洋发展局签署《珊瑚保育工作及海洋生态保育公众教育合作备忘录》，进一步加强两地在珊瑚保育及海洋保育公众教育方面的协作。 启动礼后，香港文化与可持续发展中心行政总监茹国烈主持研讨会。多位专家学者分享将艺术与文化融入乡郊保育及活化中的实践经验。 据介绍，为鼓励市民响应及参与全国生态日，特区政府早前宣布政府及非政府机构由即日起至9月下旬推出多项特别活动及优惠。
