In November 2020, the Chief Executive announced in the 2020 Policy Address that Hong Kong would strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. To this end, the Government will update “Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan” next year to set out more proactive strategies and measures to reduce carbon emissions.The Government will examine various means to reduce carbon emissions, which include exploring different types of zero-carbon energy and decarbonisation technology, enhancing the energy efficiency of both new and existing buildings, introducing more stringent energy efficiency standards, promoting zero-carbon vehicles and green transportation, building large-scale waste-to-energy facilities, and enhancing public education and publicity to promote low-carbon lifestyles. We will also develop green finance to boost investments conducive to reducing carbon emissions and build a low-carbon economy which is more resilient to climate change.
