The HKZCP is part of a research project entitled “Hong Kong Zero Carbon Building Partnership for Enhancing Public and Stakeholder Engagement” led by The University of Hong Kong and funded by the Construction Industry Council to enhance the public and stakeholder engagement in delivering low or zero carbon buildings.
In Hong Kong, buildings contribute to over 90% of the electricity use and 60% of the carbon emissions in the city, which are far higher than the world averages. Addressing the challenges requires adoption of socio-technical solutions engaging the whole society and industry. The HKZCP functions as a mechanism to bridge the links between the public and many stakeholder groups in Hong Kong and beyond.
