About this Event

Youth-led climate movements have rapidly gained momentum, both in Hong Kong and worldwide, proving the immense power young people hold in driving meaningful change. Their passion, innovative approaches, and unwavering commitment are absolutely vital for shaping effective climate policies and fostering a truly sustainable world.

CarbonCare InnoLab is proud to host a dynamic webinar series dedicated to highlighting the diverse range of youth-led climate initiatives and actions across Hong Kong and globally. This series will also emphasize the critical importance of cross-sector collaboration in empowering young people to take impactful climate action.

In this webinar, climate champions from Hong Kong and around the world delve into the various forms of youth-led climate action, from groundbreaking projects to influential campaigns. They’ll explore how young people are effectively mobilizing, organizing, and advocating for climate justice across different regions and contexts.

CarbonCare InnoLab

Founded in 2014, CarbonCare InnoLab (CCIL) is an independent community NGO dedicated to catalysing the transition to low-carbon lifestyles and promoting climate action. Through innovative approaches, community engagement, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, CCIL aims to empower society to effectively respond to the climate crisis. Additionally, we conduct research and educational initiatives to inspire climate ambition in Hong Kong and other cities in the region.

At CCIL, we believe there is great value in an organisation which combines knowledge of the intricate issues of climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, with the upbeat and youthful call to innovate, participate, and act. Our initiatives particularly focus on promoting and utilising renewable energy sources to drive sustainable change.

In 2015, the UN Climate Summit (COP21) adopted The Paris Agreement to limit temperature rise. CCIL as an observer in COP21 was motivated to stimulate the HK community into climate action, linking global, regional and local climate agenda.

CCIL is registered under the laws of Hong Kong as a non-profit and tax-exempt charity.
