But transport is still needed- to help essential workers reach their offices, to help citizens visit hospitals and fulfil other emergency needs, and to help deliver groceries and other essential services to neighbourhood stores and people’s homes.
Towards a better Hong Kong: pathways to net zero carbon emissions by 2050
2020
Author(s): Jiang X, Lu L, Gibson JR, Chan L, Fong WK, Henning R
Hong Kong kicked off a public engagement program during June to September 2019 to collect public views, and it will subsequently formulate a long-term decarbonisation strategy. Many cities have committed to carbon neutrality or deep decarbonisation by 2050 or earlier. Copenhagen, for example, committed to being carbon neutral by 2025, and London and New York committed to being carbon neutral by 2050. If Hong Kong can achieve net zero emissions like these cities?
