An international submit named \u201c26th United Nations Climate Conference\u201d (COP26) was held in Glasgow in 2021 with all committed countries agreed to finalize the outstanding element in Paris Agreement and Glasgow Climate Pact to keep 1.5 0C. In this paper, we will focus on the basic approach of waste strategy, recycling policy, circular economy strategy, net-zero strategy and sustainability strategy and the importance of the elements which affect the carbon emission, waste generation and energy conservation will be further reviewed with recommendation for future study.<\/p>","references":"[1]\tAojoy Kumar Shuvo, Shayla Sharmin, Carbon Emission Scenario of Conventional Buildings, Journal of Construction Engineering, Management & Innovation 2021 Volume 4 Issue 3 Pages 134-150\r\n[2]\tEMSD, Hong Kong Energy End-use Date 2020, www.emsd.gov.hk\r\n[3]\tEnvironmental Bureau, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, www.enb.gov.hk \r\n[4]\tFossil CO2 Emission of All World Countries, JRC Science for Policy Report, 2020 Report, op.europe.eu\r\n[5]\tGeoscience Australia, Australian Government, www.ga.gov.au\/scient\r\n[6]\tJana Lippelt and Maximilian Sindram, Global Energy Consumption, CESifo Forum \u00b7 January 2011\r\n[7]\tMartin Siegert, The Net- zero Carbon Transition, Enterprise Risk Management \u00b7 September 2021(a4) Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, Australian Government, www.energy.gov.au","publisher":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology","index":"Open Science Index 183, 2022"}
