HSBC’s Climate Champions, Ms Eva Ng and Mr Lim Boon Teck, recently visited Chung Hwa Middle School in the capital in a bid to educate the students on climate change, where 40 students attended the event.

“We are very proud and happy for the opportunity to share our experiences with the students. Tackling climate change requires action from everyone and that includes young students as well. We come to schools to educate them on the science and risk of climate change and hopefully inspire a ‘green’ change in their personal life, at home and at school,” said Mr Lim Boon Teck, HSBC Climate Champion and Corporate Sustainability Manager.

HSBC and Earthwatch Institute have launched Asia-Pacific Region – China Climate Centre in Eastern China’s Zhejiang Province as part of the HSBC Climate Partnership programme. The centre conducts Climate Champion programmes that aim to inspire HSBC employees to tackle the impacts of climate change.
The China Regional Climate Centre is one of five HSBC Regional Climate Centres around the world. The research centre in China focuses on the impact climate change has on China’s forests.

Scientists from the Earthwatch Institute and the Institute of Botany at the Chinese Academy of Science (IBCAS) will jointly conduct the research work at the China Climate Centre. In the next three years, HSBC will send about 400 employees, known as HSBC Climate Champions from around Asia-Pacific to the China Climate Centre to assist scientists in their research.
