About
The Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change (Chinese: 賽馬會氣候變化博物館, abbreviation: MoCC) is a museum dedicated to the theme of climate change located in Sha Tin, Hong Kong. Opened on 16 December 2013, it is the world's first museum focusing on climate change. The museum was initially established by the Jockey Club's Initiative Gaia at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and is situated on the 8th floor of the Yasumoto International Academic Park building at CUHK.
The museum houses a large collection of exhibits gathered by explorer Rebecca Lee from around the world. It features permanent exhibitions on polar climates, environmental protection technologies, and other topics, as well as periodic special exhibitions. Additionally, the museum offers eco-tours outside the museum, where visitors are guided to various environmental protection facilities and measures.
