The climate crisis is imminent. The Hong Kong government has set a target to halve carbon emissions by 2035 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, implementing a series of strategies. In addition to promoting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), the government will also re-organise The Council for Sustainable Development into the new Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Development Committee to provide advice on carbon reduction strategies and promote collaboration across sectors.
The primary source of carbon emissions in Hong Kong comes from power generation, accounting for about 70% of the total. Replacing fossil fuel power generation is the most direct solution, but conserving energy and reducing carbon at the source is even more crucial. Buildings consume significant amounts of electricity. New commercial buildings use glass curtain walls and centralized air conditioning, which are major contributors to energy wastage. The Airport Authority Hong Kong has also announced its strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions at the Hong Kong International Airport by the end of 2050, aiming to reduce actual emissions by half by 2035. What plans do they have in place to achieve zero carbon?
Carbon emissions are causing global warming and the intensification of extreme weather events. To achieve the 2050 carbon neutrality target, collaboration is essential not just between the government and businesses but also every citizen. Everyone should play a part in alleviating the climate crisis by reducing their carbon footprint. Let's work together to cut carbon!
