Summary

Climate change is one of the most pressing global environmental challenges, with far-reaching impacts
on ecosystems, societies, and economies. As a coastal metropolis, Hong Kong faces serious threats such as
rising temperatures, stronger typhoons, and sea-level rise. To ensure a sustainable future, it urgently needs to
take proactive action to contribute to global efforts in mitigating climate change, while also promoting public
awareness and support for various adaptation and response measures.
This booklet, jointly developed by the Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre (sponsored by
Sik Sik Yuen) and the Hong Kong Observatory, aims to support frontline teachers and students in geography
and related disciplines to gain an accurate and in-depth understanding of climate change by leveraging data
analysis from the Hong Kong Observatory and international meteorological organizations, along with concrete
examples.
