The Junior Chamber International Macau (JCI Macau) will host a forum urging small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to reduce carbon and non-carbon emissions, the group’s president said yesterday in a press conference at the group’s office in Rua da Santa Clara.
JCI Macau will hold the 2016 CSR International Forum – Business Opportunity with the Trend of Emission Reduction, at the Macau Science Centre on Saturday.
Fanny Gabriella Chan Iok Fan, the group’s vice-president for community development, said that emission reduction was discussed as a matter of urgency at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Chan said she hoped Macau residents will understand the importance of reducing emissions, even though locally it’s not widely considered to be an urgent topic.
