Abstract

In May 2010, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) commissioned AECOM to undertake a project called "Review of Studies on Climate Change and Its Implications on Slope Safety". One of the studies of the project was to review climate change scenarios pertaining to Hong Kong and its surrounding region. Professor Johnny K.L. Chan of City University of Hong Kong was engaged as a sub-consultant to undertake the study.

This report presented the results of the study, which included a summary of key findings of past studies of climate change, an overview of the relevant projected climate change scenarios and comments on methodologies for future climate projections.

The Hong Kong Observatory provided support throughout the study. Many staff of GEO provided useful comments on the draft version of the report. All contributions are gratefully acknowledged.
