Mr. Wing-Mo Leung (Adjunct Professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University; former Assistant Director of Hong Kong Observatory) held an open lecture on “Decarbonization in Hong Kong – from the perspectives of impacts, justice and governance” at Hong Kong Baptist University on 17 October 2019.
Abstract: Under the auspices of the Council for Sustainable Development, a series of public engagement activities on the formulation of a long-term decarbonization strategy in Hong Kong has just been completed. Why do we need such a strategic plan? What the future has in store for us? How much time do we have? What tools do we have to achieve our goals? This talk will try to address those questions, present the current and projected state of the climate, and touches upon some core issues of the challenge, namely from the dimension of justice and governance.
