Hong Kong Survival Mode: Climate × Gender Challenges 2026

"In 2048, after decades of global warming, energy will be rationed in Hong Kong. Under these circumstances, what challenges and difficulties will people of different genders and identities face under extreme weather?"

Thanks to the invitation from CarbonCare InnoLab, the FPAHK’s Education team and its Sexuality Education Youth Volunteer Team “Red Face No More” participated in the LCOYHK 2026. Collaborated with the Climate Adaptation for Everyone (CAFE), a workshop titled “Hong Kong Survival Mode: Climate × Gender Challenges” was successfully held on 28 June 2026.

On that day, participants were assigned different identities and gender roles, such as caregivers, elderly individuals, secondary school students, and construction workers, and were required to complete tasks to earn energy allocations. Throughout the process, the amount of energy allocated varied based on their abilities and gender identities. This encouraged participants to put themselves in the shoes of different genders, experience the unique challenges and difficulties they face amid climate change, while reflecting on how personal needs, the allocation of societal resources and gender-related policy measures are closely interconnected and mutually influential.
