Secretary for Environment and Ecology
CV

Welcome to the homepage of the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The newly set up Environment and Ecology Bureau has enlarged the policy functions of the former Environment Bureau to consolidate the polices and work related to environmental protection, conservation of natural ecology, as well as environmental hygiene, food safety, agriculture and fisheries and animal welfare, etc.; and take over the housekeeping of the Hong Kong Observatory so as to achieve synergy in enhancing the overall environment of Hong Kong and maintaining environmental hygiene, as well as work related to driving climate action, promoting biodiversity, etc.

On the environmental front, we will continue to implement various blueprints for environmental protection, including combating climate change, improving air quality, promoting electric vehicles and other means of green transport, and advocating resources circulation, as well as solicit stakeholder and public support for those issues.

On food and environmental hygiene front, we endeavor to further enhance environmental hygiene, ensure food safety and a stable food supply, foster sustainable development of agriculture and fisheries, and enhance animal welfare, etc.

We hope that different sectors of our society will join forces with us, with a view to promoting carbon neutrality and building Hong Kong into a livable and sustainable city.

This homepage provides information on our work and the services we provide. Your suggestions and comments are most welcome.

CW Tse
Secretary for Environment and Ecology
