Committee members are appointed by the Chief Executive. Representatives of relevant government bureaux and departments, including the Environment and Ecology Bureau, also sit on the Committee. With the funding allocation from the Environment and Conservation Fund, the ECC organises various environmental events and activities for different sectors of community.
