NESS is organising a Climate week from 22nd to 28th August 2022 to raise the awareness for climate change and sustainable development in Hong Kong. We aim to mobilise the youth community and advance sustainable transition by operating as an interactive platform to gather ideas, and inspiring ideation for the wider community. Collaborating with social enterprises, businesses, and organisations, we have put up a wide range amazing IN-PERSON sessions for you to gain a better understanding of climate change and its relation to us all.

Within the first 2 days of Climate Week, we are bringing back Hong Kong Climate Emergency Summit (HKCES) 2022 to turn knowledge into actions. It focuses on capacity building for youth aged 15-24 in taking climate actions in various aspects, With workshops ranging from climate journalism, and policy response to digital communication and design thinking, we aim to showcase the diversity of climate action and enable them find their own climate action. Supported by The British Consulate General, participants could also have high level dialogue with the Consulate General representative at HKCES.

HKU Common Core is delighted to be a supporting organisation of Climate Week, promoting youth climate action, and deepening youth’s understanding of sustainable development in Hong Kong. If you are interested in joining Climate Week and/or HKCES 2022, you may apply through the link below:
