Burning fossil fuels creates local air pollution. It also creates greenhouse gases (GHGs) which increase the risk of dangerous climate change. While these problems have the same source their impact is different – see the box on the following page. What is certain is that air pollution and climate change are serious risks to our present and future quality of life and the way we do business.

Local Air Pollution is an immediate, local and regional problem. Further more, worldwide research has confirmed air pollution damages public health. The deterioration of Hong Kong’s air quality has resulted in a steady increase in the number of hazy days and the associated reduced visibility.

According to the Environmental Protection Department (EPD), in recent years Hong Kong has been facing two air pollution issues. One is local street-level pollution and diesel vehicles are the main source of this pollution. The other is the regional smog problem and this is caused by a combination of pollutants from motor vehicles, industry and power plants both in Hong Kong and in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. Regional air pollution comes from the transport sector, industry and power plants from the wider Pearl River Delta region.
