Swedish model shows Hong Kong how to engage youth on climate change

The Hong Kong government set a net zero carbon emissions target for 2050 in Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor’s 2020 policy address. As far back as in May 2018, the Council for Sustainable Development initiated a citywide public engagement to enhance awareness regarding the impact of carbon emissions and create a conducive atmosphere for a long-term low-emission strategy. However, it is notable that direct youth engagement has been neither sufficient nor efficient, because of the fragmentation of youth platforms.

Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year flower markets: don’t leave waste to the NGOs

Hong Kong hosted at least 15 Lunar New Year flower markets this year. Their celebratory intent notwithstanding, these markets generated 83 tonnes of waste in total, including bamboo sticks, unsold or wilted flowers, wooden pallets, and styrofoam. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said that most materials can be recycled. But before turning to recycling, what could have been done?

How plastic bottle recycling can become second nature for Hongkongers

In preparation for the Producer Responsibility Scheme on Plastic Beverage Containers, Hong Kong’s Environmental Protection Department has launched a one-year reverse vending machine pilot scheme. Installed in phases, the 60 machines will offer an instant rebate of 10 HK cents (1 US cent) per plastic bottle via e-payment, with the recycled bottles to be transformed into marketable material. The first 40 machines came into operation in January.

Hong Kong zero-carbon 2050 vision: time to talk details for peak energy efficiency

In its 2021-2022 budget, the Hong Kong government announced that it would reserve HK$1 billion (US$129 million) for installing renewable energy systems. After Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced Hong Kong’s aim for carbon neutrality by 2050, the city has been considering plans to import zero-carbon electricity and increase local renewable energy production. Yet, discussions on how to manage increased renewable energy in the fuel mix are often neglected.

Hong Kong must take a leaf out of the European Union’s book to reduce waste

With the government’s recent issuance of the Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035, waste management issues that were looming over our city have once again been brought into the spotlight. Out of the many issues contributing to Hong Kong’s unsatisfactory performance in this area, I would like to highlight two on which progress has been stagnant – plastic waste reduction and environmental education.

V'air回應《2021-22年度財政預算案》

我們提倡旅遊事務署聯同漁農自然護理署在未來五年參考海洋公園轉型的模式，不但考慮郊野公園在康樂及教育以外之發展潛力，更需要去進一步研究各個郊野公園及熱門綠色景點的承載能力。鑑於財政司司長已為優化郊野公園設施預留了五億元，我們大膽提議，專責本地遊之督導委員會應動用其中一部分金額，進行「提升郊野公園及特別地區旅遊承載能力」的顧問研究。
