Synopsis
In September 2021, The Conservancy Association (CA) and School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) jointly launched the “Forest Carbon Stock Estimation in Hong Kong” project with the support of the HSBC Foundation. The project aims to accurately estimate the above-ground biomass (AGB) of forest trees in Hong Kong, which could help determine the forest carbon stock of Hong Kong and evaluate the role and potential of reforestation, forest protection, and management in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in Hong Kong.
Dr. Billy Hau and Dr. Angie Ng from the project team will present an overview of the project and summarize their findings from this study, which may inform urban forestry designs by integrating carbon sequestration and promoting urban biodiversity.
The findings from this study are summarized in the book “Hong Kong Native Trees for Urban Biodiversity and Carbon Storage”, which has been launched this year. Limited copies of this book are available for sale during this event.
