Each school has a cap on carbon emissions generated by electricity consumption. Educational activities are then introduced that promote energy saving. Emissions savings are converted into Community Carbon Credits.
The offsetting money with matched funds from the school enters a School Environment Fund. Students have a say in how the funds are spent to produce environmental benefits in the school.
Tackling the issue of Climate Change requires community support and involvement, and that's exactly what this website is for. Our aim is to develop community initiatives that make measurable reductions in emissions and which generate carbon offsets. Our Cap and Trade scheme for schools is being piloted in Hong Kong and the results will be publicized on this website. FOR A SUMMARY, SEE HERE.
