Event organised by ICE
With the pressing challenge of climate change, “decarbonisation” has become one of the hot topics in engineering industry nowadays. Hong Kong’s ‘Climate Action Plan 2050’ sets out our targets and roadmap to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and halve our total carbon emissions by 2035, from 2005 levels, with four decarbonisation strategies.
The seminar will feature four presentations from our distinguished speakers, covering various civil engineering and E&M engineering decarbonisation topics:
