Established in 1983, Friends of the Earth Hong Kong works to raise environmental awareness of the general public in Hong Kong, and on specific campaigns to protect the Hong Kong environment.
In the 1990s the group began establishing links in mainland China through environmental education exchanges and teacher training workshops. It has since lent support to Chinese environmental NGOs, including a network of student environmental clubs, through experience sharing and capacity building workshops.
Since 1977, in partnership with the Chinese Association of Environmental Journalists, FoE Hong Kong has made an annual series of Earth Award prizes to recognise environmental educators, journalists and activists in China.
Other activities have included support for campaigns to increase protection of the Yangtze and Yellow rives, and to promote wind and other renewable energies.
Note: In 1971, citizens from France, Sweden, the UK and the USA jointly established Friends of the Earth International as an international environmental campaigning network. This has since grown into a federation with member organisations in 68 countries. Friends of the Earth Hong Kong, however, is not affiliated to this international network.
Friends of the Earth Hong Kong is funded by membership dues and donations from individuals and corporations.
