The Youth Decarbonisation Platform — 2025/26 Campus Decarbonisation Ambassador Programme Concludes with Great Success
Congratulations to all award-winning schools and Campus Decarbonisation Ambassadors!
The Youth Decarbonisation Platform, Hong Kong’s first territory-wide youth carbon reduction initiative jointly organised by ICBC (Asia) Charitable Foundation and The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, recently held its Awards Ceremony, recognising more than 300 students from 14 primary and secondary schools for their active participation in carbon reduction actions and outstanding environmental leadership over the past year.
Since its launch in 2023, the platform has engaged nearly 17,000 students and achieved a cumulative carbon reduction of over 2.87 million kilograms of CO₂, equivalent to the carbon absorption of approximately 40,000 trees over three years!
Heartfelt congratulations to the award-winning schools:
Eco-action Champion Award
Gold Award: CCC Ming Kei College
Silver Award: Tuen Mun Government Secondary School
Bronze Award: Chinese YMCA Secondary School
Low Carbon Diet Campus Award: Carmel Secondary School
Smart Campus Energy Award: Tuen Mun Government Secondary School
Students also participated in the Sustainable Development Goals Board Game Workshop and the Reimagining Food AI Workshop, and visited the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, gaining deeper insights into climate change and sustainable development through interactive learning experiences.
The Next Cohort is Coming Soon!
The 2026/27 Campus Decarbonisation Ambassador Programme will open for enrolment to schools across Hong Kong this August. We look forward to working with more young people to promote green living and build a low-carbon Hong Kong together!
