Advisory Council on the Environment fully supports Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan and pledges to continue advancing the city's green transition

The Advisory Council on the Environment unanimously supported on 5 October the Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) and the environmental protection strategies and measures in the Policy Address. Four of the plan's five binding indicators are related to the environment, including carbon intensity, the share of zero-carbon energy, the average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and the quality of surface water across the territory. Chairman Prof. Christine Choi said the Council would continue to provide the government with professional advice on environmental issues to help advance the green transition.
