SDG 12 - Monitoring of Solid Waste in Hong Kong

According to the report "Monitoring of Solid Waste in Hong Kong", published by the Environmental Protection Department of the HKSAR Government in December 2018, over 5.7 million tonnes of waste are generated every year in Hong Kong, of which almost 70% ends up in landfills. The brand new exhibition at the Museum’s Hong Kong Jockey Club Green Gallery presents major initiatives of The Hong Kong Jockey Club that have helped pioneer new thinking on how to protect the environment in the local community. With the aid of multimedia interactive exhibits, the exhibition promotes United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production – and aims to inspire the visitors to get involved in waste-reduction action and to live a green lifestyle.
