[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced that the Jeonnam Gwangyang Climate Environment Network, a non-profit organization, will provide winter protection supplies to 80 households vulnerable to cold waves as part of its climate change response project.


The winter support project for households vulnerable to cold waves is promoted by the Korea Climate Environment Network to prevent damage and enhance response capabilities in daily life by providing winter protection supplies to 1,000 households nationwide. Gwangyang City was the only city selected in Jeonnam Province.


The Jeonnam Gwangyang Climate Environment Network selected 80 vulnerable households recommended by towns, townships, and neighborhoods, and consultants plan to visit each household individually by the 11th of next month to deliver the winter protection supplies.


Along with this, while complying with COVID-19 quarantine rules, insulation improvement supplies (such as draft stoppers and air caps) will be installed, and cold wave response guidelines will be provided.


The winter protection supplies provided consist of blankets, thermal tents, thermos bottles, scarves, gloves, etc., worth approximately 120,000 KRW per household.



Kim Jae-hee, Director of the Environment Division, said, “I hope the winter protection supplies will help overcome the upcoming winter cold waves,” and expressed gratitude for the activities and efforts of the Jeonnam Gwangyang Climate Environment Network.
