Since the ratification of the Paris Agreement in November 2016, countries and businesses across the globe have agreed on the mission of reducing carbon emissions with the goal of transforming to a net zero carbon future in the second half of the century. China has confirmed its commitment through its Nationally Determined Contributions and 13th Five-Year Plan. Hong Kong did the same in issuing its Climate Action Plan 2030+ in January 2017, committing to reduce the carbon intensity of the economy by 65-70% by 2030, amounting to reductions in absolute emissions of 26-36%.
