Renewable in % Electricity Production
In February 2020, ENB, the Environment Bureau, presented the details of more than HK$10bn (US$1.3bn) in environmental projects and over HK$3bn (US$387m) in relief measures outlined in the 2020-21 budget, to mitigate climate change, improve air quality, support waste reduction and recycling, as well as enhance environmental protection and provide financial relief sector. Around 20% of this amount (HK$2bn or US$258m) will be earmarked for launching a pilot scheme to subsidise the installation of EV charging-enabling infrastructure in residential buildings.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
Between 1990 and 2014, GHG emissions increased by almost 55%; they decreased by 8% between 2014 and 2017 and have remained stable since. In 2019, they stood at 40% above their 1990 level at 44 MtCO2.
As a part of China, Hong Kong is obliged to play a part to fulfil China's NDC target, which is to reduce CO2 intensity to GDP by 60% to 65% by 2030 as compared to 2005. According to the "Hong Kong Climate Change Report 2015", Hong Kong plans to reduce its CO2 intensity to GDP by 65% to 70% in 2030 compared to 2005. These targets are equivalent to an absolute reduction of 26% to 36%.
