Humanity–Climate–Nature: A Future Museum Curators’ Exhibition
This exhibition features the result of an 18-month community engagement project (2021–2022), ECF Mobilizing Community Climate Action by Future Museum Curators. The project is supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF). It recruited 70 secondary school students and, through a unique model of experiential and problem-based learning, equipped them with the knowledge and skills to become ‘Future Museum Curators’, and inspire action on climate change and sustainable development through exhibitions.
Earlier this year, the well-trained Future Museum Curators presented the results in 10 virtual exhibitions dealing with various sustainability challenges, such as climate change, carbon reduction and waste management. After public voting and a final assessment by a panel of expert judges, the winning Best Future Museum Curators teams were selected to work with the MoCC on a new physical exhibition on a theme of their choice, to be presented at the MoCC. The ‘Humanity–Climate–Nature: A Future Museum Curators’ Exhibition’ explores how human activity gives rise to sustainability challenges and calls for immediate climate action from the community to tackle these threats.

Wilder Carbon Project | WEBINAR
The last six months has seen the launch of the new Wilder Carbon Standards. Evan-Bowen Jones will talk about this work, the practicalities and the approaches used. Wilder Carbon is the only not-for-profit, high integrity, scalable, natural climate solution in the UK.
Many carbon offsetting projects have rightly been criticised for “greenwashing” and threatening biodiversity. To try and address this an expert standards board of leading figures in sustainability has been assembled from government, finance and conservation. Wilder Carbon tasked them with developing a sector-leading programme for assuring the quality of our projects. The standards lay out how we will ensure our pathfinder projects pass rigorous tests on providing genuine carbon capture and improved wildlife.

Is sustainability at the heart of your business agenda?
Protecting our planet and addressing climate threats should be a boardroom priority. Many leaders are struggling with how to truly embed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their day-to-day operations. How can they move beyond a box-ticking exercise to genuinely walk the talk? How can they evolve beyond top-down sustainability edicts to a corporate culture in which everyone in the organization lives, breathes and acts on them? How do organizations forge that mindset, build that corporate muscle, and make the most from their sustainability actions?

BEC EnviroSeries Conference 2020: Urban Transport on the Move: Connecting Policies, People and Business Opportunities
Transport is an important sector in Hong Kong – it enables the movements of people and goods, facilitates Hong Kong’s efficient commercial and business functions, and contributes to Hong Kong’s economic performance. At the personal level, transport supports people’s mobility needs and gets them connected.
However, unchecked growth in motorisation, over-reliance on fossil fuel vehicles and the car-centric city planning culture will exacerbate the transport sector’s impact on the environment. There are calls for rethinking the role of transport in the urban landscape and how cities should be planned so as to maintain the mobility functions on the one hand, and to minimise externalities such as air pollution, greenhouse gases emissions and the loss of public space on the other.
With COVID-19 and climate change, these questions become even more valid and pressing. It is timely and necessary for policy makers, the business sector and the general public to explore how COVID-19 and decarbonsiation will reshape urban mobility. There are opportunities to respond to the changing mobility need of people and delivery of goods as well as to transform transport operation for better efficiency and enhanced resilience.

Is Hong Kong Ready to Ride on China’s Carbon Neutral Pledge?
At the United Nations General Assembly on 22 September 2020, President Xi Jinping made a pledge that China would achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. China’s commitment to an absolute carbon reduction target has brought positivity and fresh impetus to the global climate discussion and initiatives. Many are keen to find out how China could become carbon neutral in 40 years and more so on lessons to be learned. In Hong Kong, as we are working on the city’s long-term decarbonisation target, what does China’s ambition mean for us?
In the webinar, experts in public policy, energy and climate change and business leaders will share their thoughts on China’s pledge, the impact on climate actions worldwide, and the implications on Hong Kong’s decarbonisation strategy and business action on climate change.

Green Sense No Air Con Night 2020
Big changes starting with one single move. All can take action on easing the Global Warming. While turning on the air con at home on hot days, are you aware of heating up the outdoor temperature? Hong Kong consumed 4.48 billion kWh of electricity in 2019, of which air-conditioning made up around 30% (1.34 billion kWh of electricity) of the total, that equates releasing 7.44 million tonnes of carbon emission to the atmosphere. If we rely on indoor air conditioning when the weather gets hotter, a vicious positive feedback is formed in warming the planet. Using less air conditioning is truly a way in cooling the Earth.
All are welcome to join the “No Air Con Night 2020″ on 9th October (suggesting from 7 pm). The first step of change can be taken by turning off the air con at home together.

United Nations' SDGs and the Private Sector
The United Nations has mapped out 17 SDGs for all the countries to work towards by 2030 so that there will be a better and more sustainable future for everyone. Currently, governments from around the world have setup various relevant domestic priorities as their contribution towards this SDGs initiative.
Government is an important actor to help lead the society and spearhead key relevant priorities but other actors within the community are as important to ensure the successful delivery and implementation of these priorities. The private sector is important within society's economic, social and cultural fabric, and their role and contribution would be critical to ensure the success of achieving these sustainable development goals.

BEC Low Carbon Charter Workshop: How to reduce emissions along the company value chain
The BEC Low Carbon Charter has mobilised 71 companies and organisations across all sectors in Hong Kong in pledging to set and achieve decarbonisation targets towards a sustainable and low carbon future since its launch in March 2019. Most companies would choose to focus on reducing their scope 1 and 2 emissions at the beginning of their decarbonisation journey. However, in order to limit global average temperature rise within 2°C to avoid the worst and irreversible effects of climate change, there is a mounting urgency for companies to also decarbonise their value chains, especially for companies with a substantial part of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions lie outside their own operations.
Scope 3 emission is more complex, so where do you start? How do you set a robust yet achievable scope 3 target, and how do you engage with your business partners to decarbonise? The webinar will feature an introduction on scope 3 emissions. Industry peers will share experience and best practice on value chain decarbonisation. Topics like scope 3 target-setting and emission reduction, as well as stakeholder engagement will be discussed during the session.
If you wish to achieve deeper decarbonisation or know more about value chain decarbonisation, come join us and take part in the discussion.

Science Based Targets in Reality – The Swire Coca-Cola Case Study
Setting Science Based Targets in reality remains challenging for many companies, who find themselves challenged by both the depth of the carbon targets required and the long term strategic nature of the target setting exercise. However, another picture is emerging – that going through the SBT process unlocks innovative new approaches that help manage material environmental risks and strengthen the core business along with reducing the carbon footprint.
This webinar introduces the approach taken by Swire Coca-Cola in the context of the food and beverage sector and will look at:
• The business case behind SCC’s SBT which is one of the most ambitious in the sector
• The major drivers behind the carbon reduction strategy
• The key implementation challenges
• Insights for other Hong Kong and Asian businesses interested in SBTs and in particular those participating in the BEC Low Carbon Charter

The Drama of Climate Change — ‘Combating Climate Change: Towards a Low-carbon Future’
With Hong Kong progressively moving towards sustainable waste management and in view of the municipal solid waste (MSW) charging scheme upcoming in due course, this Forum will focus on discussing and forecasting how this charging scheme will bring along the "growing pain" to Hong Kong in the short term, and how it will likely alter the landscape and ecology of the waste management practices, recycling industries and citizens' behavioural changes in Hong Kong on the long run.
Apart from key local policy makers and advocators, prestigious speakers from our neighbouring regions (such as Taiwan and Korea) as well as those from the western world will share with us their experiences on the initial formulation of policies, behavioural changes observed, difficulties encountered as well as the continual evolution of their waste management policies and practices to suit their local needs and cultures.

Opening Ceremony of the ‘Eating Greener’ Exhibition
Opening Ceremony of the ‘Eating Greener’ Exhibition According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the livestock sector plays a significant role in climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions along livestock supply chains represents about 14% of the world’s human-induced emissions. In addition, research shows that Hong Kong has one of the highest meat consumptions per capita in the world at 664g/day/capita, with pork and beef consumed the most, which is nine times higher than the UK. Excessive meat consumption places a heavy burden on the environment, and therefore there is a need to educate the public to embrace the importance of making green choices.
Supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund, the new exhibition is one of the signature events of the two-year ECF ‘The Drama of Climate Change and a Low-carbon Future’.

Technical Seminar on Hydrogen Economy in Hong Kong
With the increasing public awareness for the climate change and global warming arising from fossil fuels, researchers and policy makers have already put their focus on the development of clean and renewable energy sources. Remarkable advancements of the renewable technologies are made in recent years while new systems with better efficiency and lower cost are developed to compete with the fossil fuel. However, the renewable energy productions are usually site specific, intermittent, and thus not reliable for instantaneous supply. Hydrogen is identified as one of the potential energy carriers for future energy supply which can resolve the limitation for renewable energy production. Hydrogen is clean, renewable and harmless during the entire production and disposal cycle. In the technical talks, some oversea and local speakers are invited to share their area of excellence in hydrogen economy while their insights in application of the emerging technologies will be discussed.

Workshop on Renewable Energy and Feed-in-tariff in Hong Kong
HKU was the pioneer in investigating the technical aspects on grid-connection of small renewable energy systems. Various experiments and pilot study were conducted at HKU before the Hong Kong Government published a set of technical guidelines on grid-connection. Also, a pilot project was funded by the ITC to install three different kinds of photovoltaic technologies at the S.K.H. Kei Wai (MaWan) Primary School. There is much experience built upon those pilot projects and study regarding the technical details of grid-connection of Renewable Energy (RE) systems. Although much of the information had been published, it was not well disseminated to the local engineers in a systematic way. With the imminent effect of feed-in-tariff in 2018, the number of grid-connect RE systems in Hong Kong is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, experts from different sectors will share their expertise on this workshop, in order to transfer the knowledge to the local community.

Technical Visit to Solar Farm at the Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works and Organic Resources Recovery Centre, O-PARK1, at Siu Ho Wan
The Solar Farm at the Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works came into operation in 2016. The largest of its kind in Hong Kong, the solar farm comprises over 4,200 polycrystalline photovoltaic panels with an installed generation capacity of 1,100 kilowatts. The electricity generated by the solar farm will be fed through an internal power distribution network to various facilities inside the plant, which account for about 25 per cent of the current annual electricity consumption of the plant.
While the O∙PARK1 located at Siu Ho Wan is a self-sustainable food waste recycling facility. Apart from generating heat and power for internal use, it is estimated that about 14 million kWh of surplus electricity, an equivalent of the energy consumption of about 3 000 households, can be generated by O∙PARK1. It is also estimated that some 25 000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced each year. In addition, O∙PARK1 also helps the recycling of resources by generating about 6 500 tonnes of compost per year as a by-product. Since the operation of O∙PARK1 commenced in July 2018, more than 8 000 tonnes of food waste have already been treated and its treatment capacity will gradually increase.
This visit will allow participants to tour around both venues, and gain better understanding of the photo-voltaic system, the food waste treatment process as well as the 1st dry membrane fixed tank gasholder in Hong Kong.

Technical Seminar – Urbanization and Climate Change in Asia: Impacts and Adaptation
During the last twenty to thirty years, due to rapid economic growth, there has been extensive urbanization of areas of agricultural and rural land in many Asian countries.
These changes have substantially modified the exchanges of heat, moisture and energy between the land surface and the atmosphere, as well as releasing additional heat and pollutants into the atmosphere. Furthermore, in general, appropriate holistic planning of these urban developments has been minimal because many of these cities have been built over a short period of time.
The consequences of this urban expansion impacts both the global and regional climate, with cities in Asia suffering significantly in terms of climate hazards now and in the future.
In this talk, Prof. Chan from City University of Hong Kong will show how urbanization and global climate change can modify the regional climate, using examples from the Pearl River Delta of China and other mega-cities. He will discuss the probable effects of such climate hazards and the potential actions that can be undertaken by governments to reduce the consequences of such impacts.

Achieving Deep Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings of Hong Kong
With over 90% of electricity consumption in Hong Kong coming from buildings, and a substantial 65% of electricity consumption in Hong Kong is from commercial buildings, it is important for the commercial industry to achieve deep energy savings in order to realize substantial decarbonization in Hong Kong to move towards Paris Agreement and the IPCC special report of limiting global warming to 1.5oC above pre-industrial levels. As the General Manager of Technical Services & Sustainable Development of Swire Properties, Dr. Raymond Yau will explore how the industry can tackle this issue through highlighting the energy management program in Swire Properties, in which a 26% reduction in annual energy consumption is targeted by the year 2020 as compared to 2008. These strategies encompass both new buildings and existing buildings, from “low hanging fruits” to the utilization of smart energy management cloud-based platform, and also the involvement of tenant side. Towards deep energy savings is no longer a one-party action, but an integrated effort from corporates to government to individuals.

Technical Visit to Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works
Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works is a chemically enhanced primary sewage treatment (CEPT) plant located in North Lantau Island. A solar farm was commissioned in the plant, which is currently the largest one in Hong Kong. Commissioned in 1998, the treatment capacity of CEPT was upgraded in 2004 to 180,000 m3 per day. To reduce energy consumption, a solar farm with estimated annual electricity generation of 1,100,000 kW hours was commissioned in the plant, which is equivalent to 25% of electricity consumption of the plant. The visit will allow participants to explore the operation and strategies of CEPT on energy-saving.

Technical Seminar: Introduction to ISO 14024 - Type 1 Ecolabelling
“Ecolabelling” is a voluntary method of environmental performance certification and labelling that is practised around the world. An ecolabel identifies products or services proven environmentally preferable overall, within a specific product or service category. There are different classifications of label, and The International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) has identified three broad types of voluntary labels, with ecolabelling fitting under the strongest Type 1 designation. The seminar will give details on the Hong Kong Green Label Scheme (HKGLS), which was launched by the Green Council, in order to certify environmentally preferable products in the market.

Technical Seminar: Coastal Challenges to Flood Management in times of Climate Change
Super-Typhoon Mangkhut 2018 caused high storm surges resulting in serious flooding in many low-lying coastal areas in Hong Kong. This reminds us of the inadequacy of our flood management infrastructure which has been well developed mainly for inland areas subject to rainfall induced floods. At the same time, with indisputable Climate Change, the mean sea levels are rising and storm surges will also be increased by more frequent Super-Typhoons due to increasingly warm Pacific Ocean temperatures. This seminar will share the Speaker’s insights into the coastal challenges to flood management in times of Climate Changes, while addressing coastal flood mitigation measures including emergency evacuation based on real-time sea level forecasting (by combining storm surge and astronomical tide predictions), coastal polders, storm surge barriers and floating structures.

Workshop on Renewable Energy and Feed-in-tariff in Hong Kong
HKU was the pioneer in investigating the technical aspects on grid-connection of small renewable energy systems. Various experiments and pilot study were conducted at HKU before the Hong Kong Government published a set of technical guidelines on grid-connection. Also, a pilot project was funded by the ITC to install three different kinds of photovoltaic technologies at the S.K.H. Kei Wai (MaWan) Primary School. There is much experience built upon those pilot projects and study regarding the technical details of grid-connection of Renewable Energy (RE) systems. Although much of the information had been published, it was not well disseminated to the local engineers in a systematic way. With the imminent effect of feed-in-tariff in 2018, the number of grid-connect RE systems in Hong Kong is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, and hence the need to transfer the knowledge to community will be valuable to the industry and local community. The workshop will deliver information on different aspects, including the technical requirements on grid connection of renewable energy systems, relevant policies, the financial arrangement, etc.

Public Policy Forum on Economic Opportunities of Climate Change
Climate mitigation and adaptation are often understood to be reluctant responses to climate change, as a society is obliged to redirect resources that could have been used for other purposes. Because climate change is a genuinely global environmental problem, countries are often passive about using domestic resources for mitigation. The international climate negotiations that have been conducted in the past two-and-a-half decades have been bumpy and have encountered many setbacks. The most recent dramatic reversal occurred in 2017 when President Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris Agreement.
However, economic opportunities could also emerge in our response to climate change. New industries, such as wind turbines and solar PV, have grown to provide millions of jobs worldwide. Hong Kong is positioned to benefit from the global climate efforts. These new industries demand financial and legal services as well as innovations. Hong Kong could strategically utilize climate change to strengthen its current economic pillars and nurture new ones.
Towards achieving the above objective, the forum will invite outstanding scholars from both overseas and Hong Kong to share their insights on such economic opportunities and possible ways of capitalizing on them. Since all countries and governments around the world are facing significant challenges in this policy area, this theme will make the experiences and cases in the forum highly relevant and useful to a large number of participants in policymaking and research.
The forum is open to the press and public.

BEAM Plus Slogan Competition
In Hong Kong, buildings and activities in buildings account for 90% of electricity consumption or 60% of greenhouse gas emission. A more sustainable and low-carbon built environment is therefore critical in mitigating climate change. BEAM Plus is Hong Kong's leading initiative to offer independent assessments of building sustainability performance, launched by the Hong Kong Green Building Council in 2010. It has played an important role in transforming our city's built environment, and there are more than 1,000 registered BEAM Plus projects as of today! Through inviting the public to create a catchy slogan, the BEAM Plus Slogan Competition aims to further arouse the community’s awareness towards green buildings, as well as BEAM Plus’ benefits to the environment and health & wellbeing of citizens.
