WWF’s Climateers programme pushes individuals and organisations to take action to tackle climate change in Hong Kong. Following the success of last year’s Climateers Ambassadors Experiential Programme, the conservation body is inviting Hongkongers who live in specific districts to join forces and work towards a low carbon community. We would like Junior Reporters to be involved in this important project and keep other Young Post readers informed of what they experience and learn.
