Event Details:

6:30 PM – Part I: Talk by Mr. Patrick Lau: Northern Metropolis – “Bold New World”.

Announced in the 2021 Chief Executive Policy Address, the Northern Metropolis represents a bold plan to rationalise and maximise the potential of existing land resources to achieve a number of pressing objectives – meeting housing demand, nature conservation, economic development, employment and integration into the GBA. The “why”, “what” and “where” of this mega-initiative seem obvious enough, but what about the devil in the details such as “when”? This talk will pick up where the plan has left off to examine the challenges of realising the “Bold New World”.

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.
