To Be Continued? To Be Confirmed?

2012 is a year filled with apocalyptic prophecies and predictions, with dystopian and doomed “end of the world” discourses lurking in every corner.

The future of human kind depends intrinsically on how we put into practice our positive means and energies. “Sustainability” is one of the most commonly used and abused words of the last decade or so. The time is due for us to learn and re-learn our core knowledge of how to build a better world.

We not only need to go beyond 2012, but also the 21st century. The human story needs to continue. If we dedicate ourselves to the task, we can give the world back to our descendents. Rio+20 will be held in June 2012 to probe into the possible solutions to climate change. Action must be taken, by both governments and by each and every individual.


HKU GEU would like to take this opportunity to devise a series of courses to explore the different perspectives of sustainability through the issues of poverty, LOHAS, marine lives preservation, and the study of local culture (for example, the Dai Pai Dong).


是「To Be Continued」? 是「To Be Confirmed」?
2012 年瀰漫?預言式、末日式的論述。

人類的未來,視乎大家如何選擇。過去十多年,「持續發展」一詞不但成為口頭禪,甚至淪為空洞的口號。只有深入了解箇中學問,才能讓末日論述不攻自破。

我們不單要超越 2012 年,更要超越 21 世紀及以後。
20 年前,在巴西里約熱內盧舉行的「氣候高峰會」是一種開始,今年「Rio+20」仍然需要更多承諾和行動,由政府到商界到個人亦然。

港大通識本學期一系列課程關注地球未來持續發展的核心議題:貧窮、 LOHAS 樂活、生態環境、健康飲食、養生之道、海洋生態保育、大排檔和本土文化等。透過講座、工作坊、田野旅程及考察,同學們可以掌握一套對地球、人類和自己的生活態度,繼而影響世界,讓大家可以邁向更光明的未來。

是繼續抑或「Game Over」,決定權在我們手上。

如果中華沒有白海豚
洪家耀博士 Dr. Samuel Hung
中華白海豚是香港海洋中的「原居民」,但牠們不能為自己的權益發聲,所以保護這些海上精靈的重任就落在人類的身上。在過去十多年,香港成為亞洲區內少數長期研究鯨豚動物工作的地區;但諷刺的是 ...

齊齊踎大牌檔 ─ 由中環踎到深水埗
莊玉惜小姐 Miss Chong Yuk Sik
「踎」,把大牌檔的精髓畫龍點晴,可貴在不拘泥於具體的踎,而是精神上的。單是跟人家說:「搵日踎大牌檔啤啤」,足已令人頓變洒脫、豪邁,頭上泛現光環──或欣賞本土飲食文化,或重視庶民文物 ...
