Advancing our carbon reduction efforts

Since 2010, the HKIA Carbon Reduction Programme (CRP) has been driving the accelerated reduction of carbon emissions in close collaboration with airport business partners. On 13 June, the AA conducted a site visit to HAECO as the fourth CRP Technical Working Group. As one of the winners of the 2018 HKIA Carbon Reduction Award Scheme, HAECO provided a tour of its carbon reduction initiatives and shared its experience in developing these projects.

On 27 June, the fifth CRP Technical Working Group meeting was held to support the public engagement on Long-term Decarbonisation Strategy launched by the Council for Sustainable Development. The engagement aims to raise public awareness on the impact of carbon emissions and assess the views of the community in developing carbon reduction strategies, with a view to making recommendations to the Government by the end of this year. At the meeting, guest speakers from the University of Hong Kong – Policy for Sustainability Lab shared insights on the strategy and public engagement process and collected views from the airport community.
