“Climate Action Show"
Jockey Club Environmental Conservation Gallery
Humans rely greatly on natural resources for survival and growth. However, human activities including the burning of fossil fuels, approaches to industry, infrastructure development and the destruction of nature, are releasing carbon into the atmosphere at an unprecedented pace and on an unprecedented scale. A wide array of interactive exhibits is designed to encourage thinking about and discussing the protection of our environment and the championing of sustainable practices. Through the educational experience entitled the "Climate Action Show", you can analyse the ongoing impact of climate change and explore actions to make change happen.
"Climate Action Show" is produced by the Science North, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

The Future Science Prize was established by the Future Science Awards Foundation in 2016. Initiated by a group of scientists and entrepreneurs, the prize aims to recognise scientists who have achieved outstanding scientific results in the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan, with the goal of inspiring China, the world and the next generation with the spirit of science. The Future Science Prize consists of three awards: the Life Science Prize, the Physical Science Prize, and the Mathematics and Computer Science Prize.
The exhibition introduces the Future Science Prize, the Hong Kong laureates and the laureates of this year. The exhibition delves into the research achievements and contributions of the Hong Kong laureates, as well as related scientific knowledge. The exhibition also showcases exhibits related to their researches, allowing visitors to understand their research journey and achievements while learning the scientific concepts involved.

About the Museum
The Hong Kong Science Museum was first conceived by the Urban Council in 1976. The museum costed HKD$340millions, and opened in April 1991. About 500 exhibits are displayed in the permanent exhibition area. The most prominent exhibit is the 22-metre-high twin-tower Energy Machine which is the largest of its kind in the world. A total of 18 galleries cover a wide range of science and technology topics including light, sound, motion, electricity and magnetism, mathematics, life science, geography, meteorology, computer, transportation, communication, food science, energy/energy conservation and home technology. About 80 per cent of the exhibits are participatory so that visitors may learn through direct involvement.
