Happy to share the study on HK’s food carbon footprint in Backchat on RTHK Radio 3 with Janice Wong and Mike Rowse on behalf of EATcofriendly! We suggest the government should include food system emissions reduction in HK’s Climate Action Plan to bring the climate agenda forward. 🍽🌎
The government has released the Climate Action Plan 2050, in which only production-based emissions were calculated. Under this calculation method, GHG emissions resulting from individual and societal consumption of all products and services, which are commonly referred to as consumption-based emissions were ignored.
We believed the action plan underestimates GHG emissions related to HK people’s dietary habits. Also, there is still a lack of concrete proposals for reducing emissions in the realm of food and beverages, and GHG emissions generated by HK citizens’ imported food and dietary habits are not taken into account.
