To provide the public with information about single-use plastics and explore ways to gradually control non-essential and hard-to-recycle single-use plastic items, territory-wide public engagement (PE) exercise adopting a bottom-up and stakeholder-oriented approach was conducted the Council for Sustainable Development (SDC) in 2021. During this PE, a total of 35 engagement events were organised with around 2,600 people participated. SDC also received and analysed over 9,400 views collection forms, 60 written submissions from public and trades and successfully interviewed 1,003 persons via the randomized telephone opinion survey. On 14 Apr 2022, SDC presented the 24 recommendations across 5 key areas to the government on the control of single use plastics. This seminar aims to equip our members with a better understanding of these recommendations and initiatives.

The Chief Executive outlined her vision in the 2021 Policy Address to build a liveable city that can withstand the crises of extreme weather brought by global climate change. Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050 was published shortly after the Policy Address stressing the need to reduce carbon emissions to help reduce the risk of extreme weather in the next 20 to 30 years. Freeman will share with us an overview of Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050 on what we need to do to tackle the problem of global climate change through the use of Climate Risk Assessment to improve our climate resilience.
