The Environment and Conservation Fund Carbon Neutrality Campaign, organized by the Hong Kong Women Professionals & Entrepreneurs Association, achieved significant success with over 13,000 participants engaging in diverse educational activities and competitions. The campaign culminated in an awards ceremony, recognizing the efforts of individuals and organizations committed to reducing carbon emissions.
The Environment and Conservation Fund Carbon Neutrality Campaign, organized by the Hong Kong Women Professionals & Entrepreneurs Association (HKWPEA), held its Awards Presentation Ceremony on December 18, 2024, at the HKPC Building. Mr. Wong Chuen-fai, JP, Commissioner for Climate Change, and Dr. Cheng Kam-chung, SBS, MH, OStJ, JP, Chairman of the Environment and Conservation Fund Committee, were the officiating guests.
Close to 300 participants and guests joined to celebrate with the award winners. Ms. Julianne Doe, President of HKWPEA, stated that the year-long campaign successfully attracted over 13,000 people to participate, reflecting society's strong support for environmental initiatives. The competitions participants collectively reduced 150 tonnes of carbon, equivalent to the amount absorbed by over 6,500 trees in a year. If expanded to the entire population of Hong Kong, this saving ratio could lead to over 84,000 tonnes of carbon reduction annually. Ms. Doe urged fellow Hong Kong people to continue protecting the environment and working towards carbon neutrality. Hong Kong is striving to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050 through measures on net-zero electricity generation, energy saving and green buildings, green transport, and waste reduction
