Introduction

 

 

The Climate Change Business Forum (“CCBF”) was launched in 2008 as a BEC initiative. The CCBF convened some of Hong Kong’s most astute businesses to collaborate on initiatives to mitigate climate change. A think tank focusing on the transition to a low-carbon economy, CCBF sought to be a resource for Hong Kong’s business community and government.

CCBF has since been integrated to become a BEC Advisory Group, formally renamed the BEC Climate Change Business Forum Advisory Group (“BEC CCBF AG”). BEC CCBF AG promotes awareness of, and builds capacity in relation to, climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience activities amongst BEC members and the business community in Hong Kong. It also aims to provide a platform for BEC to engage the relevant regulatory bodies on climate change-related matters, and forge collaboration between local and global experts on climate change.

 

The Paris Pledge for Action

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change formally came into effect in November 2016. It reflects the global consensus and commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to keep global average temperature rise this century well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C.


The Paris Pledge for Action enables non-state entities to formally commit to help implement the Agreement. With backing from BEC CCBF AG, BEC signed the pledge in 2016. As a signatory, BEC will work to encourage its members and the rest of the Hong Kong business community to meet the goals of the Agreement through projects, events, and educational programmes. BEC CCBF AG will continue to play a central role in supporting these efforts.

 

Manifesto for Energy Efficiency in Buildings

In 2013, BEC CCBF AG members joined a variety of innovative companies and organisations globally in taking a pledge to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in their commercial buildings. The manifesto originated with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (“WBCSD”), in which BEC is a network partner. It requires signatories to commit to a number of tasks, including: setting emission-reduction targets, enhancing company policy for energy performance, carrying out energy audits, publishing building energy use information annually, and pledging to promote building energy efficiency to their partners, employees and stakeholders through advocacy, marketing, research and development, education and training.

BEC Net-zero Carbon Charter

Riding on the merits of BEC Low Carbon Charter, which was launched in March 2019 and attracted 113 signatories from different sectors, the newly rebranded Net-zero Carbon Charter will remain focused on mobilising companies and organisations to collectively contribute towards Hong Kong’s long-term decarbonisation journey through their pledge to set targets and actions for a net-zero future. However, we have raised the ambition of the Net-zero Carbon Charter so that it is aligned with Hong Kong’s 2050 carbon neutrality goal and the business imperative towards net-zero. Please click here for more details.

BEC CCBF AG would also like to express gratitude to following signatory companies and organisations for their leadership in supporting the BEC Low Carbon Charter in the past:
