Themed “Act on Climate Change – Together, Now!”, this English speaking contest, Green Ambassador Pitch, aims to enrich students' understanding about climate change, and encourage them to take action.

Teams of F.6 students from six schools joined the two workshops in summer to prepare and devise a plan to get others involved in combating climate change. They presented their plans to pitch for the best presentation award during WSBE17 Hong Kong in June 2017.

Primary school students were invited to unleash their creativity and illustrate their visions of Hong Kong as a green city. The competition received an overwhelming response with almost 500 entries for both junior and senior primary divisions.

All outstanding entries were displayed during WSBE17 Hong Kong and the winning entry of each division is printed on the conference bags of WSBE17 Hong Kong.

The Green Building Open House and Tours was held from late May to early June, to raise public awareness of green buildings, and encourage the public to explore the green buildings around them.

Through the collaboration with over 20 venues, a number of open house tours were arranged, and a total of eight tours featuring four themes were held on 27-28 May, and 3-4 June.
