He also presented the strategies outlined under Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050, as well as the city's progress in transitioning towards a low-carbon economy.
"We have set targets of phasing out coal-fired electricity generation and ceasing new registrations of fuel-propelled private cars by 2035, demonstrating Hong Kong's commitment to promoting green transition and achieving carbon neutrality. As a leading international financial centre and an international centre for innovation and technology, Hong Kong's strengths in finance and innovation enable cross-sector collaboration to accelerate the green transition."
