Abstract

This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the sustainable development strategies and assessments for the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands (KYCAI) project in Hong Kong. The project aims to provide about 1,000 hectares of land to meet Hong Kong's medium and long-term land demands, enhancing its competitiveness as a financial and commercial center. The study focuses on the project's environmental impact and carbon emissions, providing improvement recommendations to enhance overall sustainability. Key areas include protecting natural ecosystems and restoring biodiversity during the island's construction, optimizing the implementation of low-carbon and clean energy projects, and integrating sustainability principles throughout the project's lifecycle. The government should also assume environmental leadership by combining policy regulations with communication across various stakeholders, ensuring the project achieves sustainable economic, social, and environmental development, laying a solid foundation for Hong Kong's future growth.
