Climate Change: Zero Emission Transportation

Hong Kong has been renowned for its world-class transportation system – one that centers on public transport with railway as the backbone while keeping the city relatively walkable and easily maneuverable. With a vision of attaining carbon-neutral by 2050, the Hong Kong Government has published a roadmap on popularisation of electric vehicles in March 2021, setting out the long-term plans to promote the use of electric vehicles. Nonetheless, zero emission transport is a broader topic. In this issue, let’s get to know a little more about this broader topic.
