UNESCO ESD Programme 2013
Environmental preservation and protection has become one of the most important global concerns recently. As a global citizen, we should take up the obligation of building up a sustainable city so as to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Our college as a UN DESD Project Hong Kong School, we are delighted to be one of the 8 student representatives from Form 3 and 4 participating in the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Programme.

Zero Carbon Building
8 Dec 2012 (Sat)
Buildings are the major contributor to GHG emissions in Hong Kong and are therefore both a
challenge as well as an opportunity for GHG emissions reduction. As such, the construction
industry has a significant role to play in GHG emissions reduction. Within the ambit of the
Construction Industry Council Ordinance, one of the functions of Construction Industry
Council (CIC) is to promote good practices in the construction industry in relation to
environmental protection, sustainable construction and other areas conducive to improving
construction quality. On this basis, CIC, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Government, is
developing the first Zero Carbon Building in Hong Kong.
