******************************************************************************************
     The Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Tse Chin-wan, today (March 27) attended the 2025 Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (MIECF) in Macao and officiated alongside officials of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government and other guests at the opening ceremony.
 
     The 2025 MIECF was held with the theme of "Innovation and Green Development - Solutions to Build Beautiful Cities". The exhibition booth of the Environment and Ecology Bureau is presenting a number of innovative initiatives adopted by the Hong Kong SAR Government departments and local industries. There are information boards on carbon reduction strategies such as carbon neutrality, energy saving and environmentally friendly buildings, green transportation, community waste reduction and smart technology. Videos on related topics demonstrate the application of innovative technologies in environmental protection continuously promoted by the Hong Kong SAR Government.  
      
     Mr Tse also paid a courtesy call on the Secretary for Transport and Public Works of the Macao SAR Government, Mr Tam Vai-man, to exchange views on various environmental subjects and collaboration opportunities.  
      
     Mr Tse said that to further seize the opportunities brought by the country's dual carbon strategies, the Environment and Ecology Bureau and the Environmental Protection Department are strengthening co-operation and exploring growth opportunities with neighbouring regions while supporting local innovation and technology development. These efforts include strengthening exchanges and collaboration with cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in building low-carbon communities, developing decarbonisation technologies, promoting low-carbon products and nurturing talent. The goal is  to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050 and reduce carbon emissions by half before 2035 as compared to the 2005 level.
      
     After touring the exhibition and exchanging views with Hong Kong exhibitors, Mr Tse returned to Hong Kong in the early afternoon.
