CUHK received a generous donation of $54 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to launch the CUHK Jockey Club Initiative Gaia on 3 January. As a five-year community engagement programme, Gaia aims at promoting environmental conservation and sustainability in local communities through the establishment of the Museum of Climate Change, public education and carbon reduction partnerships with schools and NGOs. On the same day, Gaia held the ‘Conference on 40 Years of Environmental Protection in China’, at which renowned environmental experts reflected on and shared knowledge, experiences and best practices in various aspects of environmental protection, including environmental policy and management, environmental pollution and control, as well as ecological health and urban environment.
