How private sector can help Hong Kong hit net zero carbon emissions by 2050

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. To fulfil such goals, global carbon dioxide emissions need to be halved by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050 through rapid and profound transformations. Here is an example of what private sector can help to make a further step.

In line with its commitment to reduce emissions by 26 to 36 per cent by 2030, the government has published its Climate Action Plan 2030+ to guide mitigation of emissions in sectors that contribute significantly to the climate crisis in urban areas, including buildings, transport and waste.
