Hong Kong public bodies failing to disclose emissions data, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent study by The Green Earth in Hong Kong revealed that approximately half of the city's public bodies have failed to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions data. The report, which analyzed 82 public entities, found that while 41 did publish emissions data, a significant portion, around eight, used outdated emission factors. This practice could lead to inaccurate estimations of emission reductions, prompting calls for more robust carbon reporting and the establishment of clear reduction targets for the public sector to meet Hong Kong's 2050 carbon neutrality goal.
