Join the webinar: European Technology for a greener and carbon neutral Hong Kong
To join the global effort to combat climate change, Hong Kong has decarbonisation at the top of the city’s agenda. In her Policy Address delivered in November 2020, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) announced that Hong Kong would strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. To achieve this goal, Hong Kong has been exploring various solutions to combat climate change, including seeking more zero-carbon energy, adopting energy saving technologies, promoting the wider use of electric vehicles, and enhancing waste reduction and recycling such as optimising the development of advanced waste-to-energy/resources facilities to further turn waste into valuable resources.
Mr WONG Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment of the HKSAR Government will speak at the webinar to introduce the first road map of Hong Kong on the popularisation of electric vehicles, as well as the Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035 recently released. As European green technology has been playing an active and important role in Hong Kong’s plan to reduce carbon footprint, the organisers are delighted to have the following two speakers joining the webinar to share their experiences in taking part in the set-up of state-of-the-art waste-to-energy/resources facilities in Hong Kong:
