[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon City in Gyeongnam is gaining attention for a climate crisis-related YouTube video titled "Cherry Blossoms Disappeared in Changwon by 2050."

The video conveys that if carbon neutrality is not achieved by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, cherry blossoms will no longer be seen in Changwon.

Through the video, the city campaigns for the climate crisis, urging, "Let's all act together before it's too late and too dangerous!"

Along with the campaign, the city expanded vegetarian meals to twice a month at 10 workplace cafeterias as part of its carbon neutrality policy, and held a mutual cooperation meeting with the Vegetarian Peace Alliance to establish vegetarianism.

Lee Jeong-geun, Director of the Environment and Urban Bureau, said, "If 1,000 people choose vegetarian meals twice a month instead of meat, 338 tons of carbon can be reduced, which is equivalent to planting 50,000 pine trees. Small daily actions like this accumulate to overcome the massive climate crisis."

Meanwhile, the city also produced a video showing the "Changwon City in 2050," including practical ways to reduce carbon in daily life such as using hydrogen electric vehicles and saving electricity.
