A spokesperson for SDC said today (April 1), "The SDC has been striving to promote public awareness and understanding of the principles of sustainable development in Hong Kong. A number of publicity and outreach activities have been held for various sectors of the community. The SDPA is a new initiative designed for undergraduate students.
