Jeonnam Province Selected as 'UN75 Partner City'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 8th that it has been selected as a ‘UN75 Partner City’ in preparation for the 100th anniversary of the UN’s founding (2045) and has formed a partnership with the UN.

This partnership is expected to play a significant role in promoting the UN’s key policies, such as gathering opinions to establish a global vision under the theme ‘The Future We Want’ to overcome the unprecedented global health crisis on the occasion of the UN’s 75th anniversary.

Jeonnam Province anticipates that this partnership with the UN will enhance the province’s international status and widely promote the image of ‘Clean Jeonnam,’ providing a good opportunity to expand exchanges with the international community, including the UN.

Under this partnership, Jeollanam-do will play a key role in establishing the UN75 global vision.

The province plans to conduct an online survey titled ‘The Future We Dream Of,’ currently underway by UN75, on websites operated by 22 cities and counties within the province, as well as educational and public institutions and major tourist sites. It will also hold seminars and roundtable discussions to present UN75 discourse.

Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, said, “The signing of this ‘UN75 Partnership’ will raise Jeonnam’s status in the world and serve as a good opportunity to promote the necessity of hosting the 28th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) in the South Coast Southern Region.”

Meanwhile, as a core project of the 7th local government, Jeonnam Province is making an all-out effort to host COP28 in the South Coast Southern Region in 2023 to respond swiftly to climate change and leave a better world for future generations.

Going forward, the province plans to lead the successful hosting of COP28, develop into a model city for climate and environment, establish the image of ‘Clean Jeonnam,’ and open the post-COVID-19 era.
