Hong Kong’s first carbon calculator is available to all at www.climateers.org. It provides a personalised ‘carbon footprint’, calculating the carbon dioxide emissions resulting from their lifestyle.

Rising summer temperatures and changing weather patterns in Hong Kong are awakening more individuals to the need for individual action against global warming. Last November, a group of notable Hong Kong personalities joined the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to shed light on what individuals could do to counter climate change.
The launch of the WWF Climate Programme saw a group of nine “Climateers”, all renowned members of the arts, political and financial sectors of Hong Kong, make public their commitment to reduce the impact their lifestyles have on the planet, with the help of the city’s first carbon calculator.
The Carbon Calculator estimates the trail of carbon dioxide an individual, family or organisation leaves behind as they go about life; from using electricity and public transport to consuming foods. It provides an estimation of the annual tonnage of CO2 emissions people make each year, and suggests ways to reduce the figure.
The WWF has made the carbon calculator available to everyone in Hong Kong. For participants, the results could serve as an eye opener that would motivate them to reduce excesses in order to make Hong Kong a healthier place.
Awareness of a problem is always the first step towards reaching a solution, and recent heat-waves and changing weather patterns have made local people sit up. A WWF survey last year revealed that Hong Kong people are very concerned about climate change and willing to take steps to share the responsibility to prevent it.
The survey conducted by market research consultancy TNS showed that 92 percent of respondents were “very” or “somewhat” concerned about climate change, while 82 percent considered it a threat to Hong Kong. About 87 percent agreed that individuals share a great responsibility to act.
Such a level of awareness is crucial. Another study has placed Hong Kong on the list of 10 coastal cities in the world most at risk of climate change. It is estimated that by 2070, Hong Kong assets worth more than USD1,100 billion would be exposed to flooding caused by climate change.
“Scientists have told us that climate change has shifted from being a problem our children will have to deal with, to one that is affecting us all right here and now. Everyone will be affected, and yet everyone can help by cutting their personal carbon footprint. Rather than telling people what is right and what is wrong, WWF hopes to start a discussion in Hong Kong that helps people define their own personal levels of responsibility for cutting their carbon footprint,” says WWF Hong Kong Chairman, Markus Shaw.
“We have a choice – climate change or lifestyle change” said Liam Salter, Head of WWF Hong Kong’s Climate Programme, on the Fund’s website. “For those who choose life, the Climateers programme will provide information, solutions and forums to support people who act to stop climate change. If you are interested in putting your foot down (on climate change), get in touch and let’s find a way together’.
The WWF Climateers and Carbon Calculator programmes are sponsored by HSBC. ‘HSBC is pleased to sponsor the programmes as part of the HSBC Climate Partnership, a global initiative to combat climate change’ said Teresa Au, Head of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability of the bank’s Asia Pacific Region. “As the lead partner of the carbon calculator and Climateers programme, HSBC equips its employees in Hong Kong and helps provide the wider community with a powerful tool that tracks and quantifies their carbon footprint – the first step towards genuine lifestyle change for a better environment.”
Last June, the Group of Eight leaders, the world’s most economically developed nations, confirmed the need for “substantial global reductions” in the man-made emissions of greenhouse gases that are dangerously warming the earth. By 2050 global emissions will have to be at least 50 percent below their level in 1990. (638 words)
