// The Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) held the premiere of Combating Climate Change: Towards a Low-carbon Future last Friday (20 September). Officiating at the premiere were Mr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and Professor Rocky S. Tuan, Vice-Chancellor and President of CUHK. The event drew an audience of over 200, including representatives from environmental and professional organisations, as well as teachers, students and other members of the public.

Supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF), the Museum launched the two-year environmental educational programme, ECF 'The Drama of Climate Change and a Low-carbon Future', in 2018. Combating Climate Change: Towards a Low-carbon Future is one of the signature events of the programme. Produced by the Eco-Education and Resources Centre and the Merit Minds Workshop, the educational drama emphasises a low-carbon diet, and provides information about climate change and environmental issues in a fun-filled interactive way. Targeted at school students, the drama aims to inspire the young audience to take carbon-reducing action and live an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Schools that participated in the premiere include CUHK FAA Thomas Cheung School, Dr Catherine F Woo Memorial School and The Salvation Army Tin Ka Ping School. The drama tour will take place between September and December this year, setting out to reach around 10,000 students and teachers. //
