Climate Justice in a Warming World : Who Bears the Burden?

Mr. Leung Wing Mo, Former Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Observatory and Adjunct Professor at both The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, shared his insights on how climate change worsens existing inequalities in vulnerable communities.

As a leading figure in Hong Kong’s weather and climate community, Mr. Leung used compelling data, news, and reports to demonstrate that climate change is not a distant threat, but one that has already affected millions— particularly in low-income countries. He emphasized that climate change is no longer just an environmental issue, but a critical matter of social justice.

His scientific analysis and powerful message on these disproportionate impacts captivated the audience, inspiring them to take action toward a more equitable future.
