Climate & Energy

Climate change is real, and it's happening because of human activities – namely burning oil, and coal. We're seeing the effects all around us – extreme weather events, droughts, warmer temperatures, polar ice melting and sea level rising. But we can work to change this.

 

Solutions to climate change and energy crises already exist: clean, renewable energy, energy efficiency and an end to deforestation. With strong commitment to change from governments, business and individuals alike, we can stop climate chaos.

Our main goals

1. To ensure China takes a leading role in international climate negotiations.
2. To lobby China to move away from coal and to invest heavily in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
3. To push for the Hong Kong SAR government to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy, instead of in nuclear power, which is expensive, unsafe and polluting.
4. To get the Mainland China and Hong Kong public to take personal action and support government action on climate change.
