Have you ever thought about the impact of your dietary habits on climate change?

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the livestock sector plays a significant role in climate change.  Greenhouse gas emissions along livestock supply chains represents about 14% of the world’s human-induced emissions.  In addition, research shows that Hong Kong has one of the highest meat consumptions per capita in the world at 664g/day/capita, with pork and beef consumed the most, which is nine times higher than the UK.  Excessive meat consumption places a heavy burden on the environment, and therefore there is a need to educate the public to embrace the importance of making green choices. 

Supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund, the new exhibition is one of the signature events of the two-year ECF ‘The Drama of Climate Change and a Low-carbon Future’.  With the aid of infographics and art installations, the exhibition reveals how our dietary habits and climate change are closely interlinked, and promotes a low-carbon lifestyle and sustainable development.

The opening ceremony of the ‘Eating Greener’ Exhibition will be held on 4 July 2019.  All are welcome.  For details, please visit the event page.

賽馬會氣候變化博物館：「綠色飲食救未來」專題展覽

日期：2019年7月4日 – 2019年9月24日
時間：上午9時30分至下午5時
地點：香港中文大學康本國際學術園八樓賽馬會氣候變化博物館

曾否想過你的飲食習慣會加劇氣候變化？

根據聯合國糧食及農業組織的報告，畜牧產業與氣候變化息息相關，其生產鏈的溫室氣體排放佔「人為溫室氣體」約百分之十四。此外，有研究指出，香港是人均肉類消費量最高的地區之一，每人每天平均攝取664 克肉類；其中牛肉和豬肉最高，攝取量合共是英國人的九倍。過度攝取肉類對環境造成沉重負擔，因此教育公眾作出「綠色選擇」至為重要。

賽馬會氣候變化博物館獲環境及自然保育基金資助，推出為期兩年的環保基金「氣候變化奇幻劇場與低碳未來」。「綠色飲食救未來」專題展覽是計劃的其中一項重點項目，透過裝置藝術和資訊圖表，展示飲食習慣與氣候變化的密切關係，鼓勵公眾以行動支持低碳生活及可持續發展。

歡迎各位出席於2019年7月4日舉行的「綠色飲食救未來」專題展覽開幕典禮，詳情請瀏覽活動專頁。
