Description of the Assignment. 4.1 Providing a good quality environment is crucial to reinforcing Hong Kong as a global city. Hong Kong also needs to respond to its regional and global environmental responsibilities. We need to recap and review the required environmental targets for this Assignment in order to achieve a good quality environment meeting people’s rising aspiration, and to meet the regional and global environmental responsibilities.
4.2 Given the growing aspiration for a livable environment, the Government has been promoting a basket of measures, including the implementation of Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), Air Quality Objectives (AQO), A Food Waste & Yard Waste Plan for Hong Kong 2014-2022, Hong Kong Blueprint for Sustainable Use of Resources 2013-2022 and a Clean Air Plan for Hong Kong. It is necessary to take into account those new environmental initiatives while assessing our environmental capital or budget for use as a basis, among other factors, for deriving development options.
4.3 The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), a multi-national treaty on the conservation of biodiversity, has been extended to Hong Kong since May 2011. The CBD recognizes impact assessment as a significant tool for helping to ensure that development is planned and implemented with appropriate consideration of biodiversity. Hong Kong is formulating a city-level BSAP in light of local needs and priorities based on the principles of CBD. This SEA shall take into account Hong Kong’s biodiversity strategies in BSAP and examine the interface issues, if any, with BSAP.
4.4 Strategic evaluation methodologies/tools shall be used to examine the overall spatial development and conservation strategy for Xxxxxx and the preferred option(s) of the Main Study in respect of their environmental sustainability implications and strategic environmental impacts. Potential issues to be examined include air quality implications of the transportation, energy and industrial sectors; water quality implications due to sewage load increase and sewerage infrastructure constraints, reclamation and increase in toxic chemicals discharge; waste management implications due to increase in resources consumption and waste generation; potential changes in noise levels due to transportation, port operation and future port development plans, and increase in development density; increase in greenhouse gas emission; any increase in hazards risks; and implications on the integrity of important terrestrial and marine habitats a...
