‘Climate Crisis Emergency Action’ and Policy Agreement

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Byung-hoon, the Democratic Party candidate for Gwangju Metropolitan City Dong and Nam District (Eul) in the April 15 general election, announced on the 13th that he held an emergency climate crisis action and a 'Climate Crisis Response Policy Implementation Agreement Ceremony.'

At the agreement ceremony, candidate Lee agreed that the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea should play a leading role in overcoming the climate crisis and creating a decarbonized society.

The agreement includes four major policies: ▲ Adoption of a climate emergency declaration resolution by the National Assembly ▲ Enactment of the tentative 'Climate Crisis Response Act' to achieve carbon emission zero and climate justice ▲ Establishment of a special committee for climate crisis response ▲ Establishment of a bold foundation for transition to a decarbonized society through budget allocation and legal system reform.

Candidate Lee proposed the 'Gwangju-type Green New Deal' project, which combines eco-friendly technology, future industries, and jobs, as a key pledge to respond to the climate crisis.

This aims to build an eco-friendly industrial ecosystem linking representative green industries such as eco-friendly automobiles, eco-friendly energy, and cultural contents, and to create jobs.

In addition, to resolve the heat island phenomenon caused by urban redevelopment side effects and prevent fine dust, he pledged to create a 100-ri Green Road and the Gwangju Stream ecological waterway to develop an ecological city with open water and wind paths. He also promised active implementation of climate crisis response pledges such as prioritizing moss wall installations on public facilities and creating fine dust safety zones.

Candidate Lee stated, “Climate issues must be addressed immediately, and creating a sustainable Earth for our generation and the next generation is an important task.”
