Synopsis
Carbon Neutrality and Climate Resilience
碳中和及氣候抵禦力
In 2021, the HKSAR Government announced HK’s Climate Action Plan 2050, leading HK to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. In line with the city’s climate commitments, the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) launched HK’s first “Climate Change Framework for Built Environment” (Framework) in June 2023, aiming to support the local building industry transition to net zero emissions and climate resilience.
Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification
零碳就緒建築認證
The Framework assists the building industry in setting net zero carbon goals, reporting environmental, social and governance (ESG), justifying green finance requirements, and disclosing climate risk strategies. As part of the Framework, HKGBC is launching the “Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification Scheme”.
