The Environmental Campaign Committee (ECC) was set up in 1990 to promote public environmental awareness and encourage the public to contribute actively towards a better environment. The Committee Members are appointed by the Chief Executive. They come from green groups, the education sector and academic field, industrial and business organizations, professional institutions and community service agencies. Representatives of relevant government departments, including the Environmental Protection Department, also sit on the Committee. Since its establishment, the ECC has planned and organized many major environmental events and activities in collaboration with different sectors of the community every year. For more information, please visit About Us.

ECC organizes several core projects during the year. They include:

• Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence
• World Environment Day
• Hong Kong Green School Award
• Student Environmental Protection Ambassador Scheme
• ECC MTR Environmental Award for Schools
• Waste Separation and Recycling Scheme in Schools

Information on the ECC activities in progress is available in Latest News. To obtain more information on the activities organized in current year, please visit Core Projects.

Under the ECC, there is an Environmental Education and Community Action Projects Vetting Sub-committee to vet and approve funding applications for organizing environmental education or activities. The maximum amount that the Vetting Sub-committee can approve is HK$2,000,000. For funding applications exceeding HK$2,000,000, the Vetting Sub-committee may reject it or request the applicant to provide further information, or recommend them for consideration by the Environment and Conservation Fund Committee. More information is available on Funding Applications.
