Please click here to take our brief visitor survey after your visit. ‘Living Greener’ ExhibitionHong Kong is among cities in the world with the highest per capita carbon emissions. According to the Environmental Protection Department of the HKSAR Government, the greenhouse gas emissions of Hong Kong reached 40.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) in total or 5.4 tonnes CO2-eq per capita in 2018. The Emission Gap Report 2020, published by the United Nations, stated that around two thirds of global emissions are linked to the private household activities according to consumption-based accounting. The report stressed that individual actions and lifestyle changes are crucial to reduce carbon emissions. Funded by the Environment and Conservation Fund, the Museum launches the ‘Living Greener’ virtual exhibition to explore the relationship between everyday life and the global climate issues of today. The exhibition offers practical things we can do to incorporate sustainability into our daily life. Visitors can immerse themselves in the virtual world without having to leave home. |
| Presented at the HK SciFest 2021, the ‘Climate Change: Past, Present, Future’ exhibition is the latest series of ‘Mobile MoCC’. The exhibition takes us on a fascinating journey through time, revealing the importance of climate records and highlighting the impacts of climate change. It also explains what climate change means for us and how we can play our part in building a sustainable world. |
| Rising sea levels are one of the most dramatic manifestations of climate change. Equally alarming is that dangerous water levels could easily be generated tomorrow by a merciless storm surge, a temporary rise in the sea level during a typhoon, causing more immediate and impactful damage. Organized by the CUHK Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change and the local think tank CWR, the ‘Rising Seas, Rising Resilience’ exhibition shows how Hong Kong would be inundated in the future, providing a timely reminder of why climate change adaptation and resilience building must not be forgotten. It is time to make Hong Kong a ‘waterproof’ city. |
