'Act Before It's Too Late' Changwon City Holds Climate Action Day Campaign

'Watch Carbon Neutrality Practice Videos via QR Code, Comment to Participate, and Receive Gifts' in Progress

On the 22nd, Climate Action Day, a campaign titled 'Climate Crisis, Practice Carbon Neutral Living Before It's Too Late' is being held around the bus stop in Sinwol-dong.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City in Gyeongnam conducted a campaign titled "Climate Crisis, Practice Carbon Neutral Living Before It's Too Late" on the 22nd, the 'Changwon City Climate Action Day,' around the Sinwol-dong bus stop.

On this day, the campaign was carried out together with Changwon City's Green Leaders to inform citizens about the severe climate crisis and the need to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Participation through YouTube video comments and a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1 ton per person were also conducted simultaneously.

At the campaign site, Sinwol-dong bus stop, there is a QR code that allows citizens to watch promotional videos raising awareness about the climate crisis anytime. The same QR codes were installed last December at Changwon Station, Gyeonghwa Station, and Yangdeok-dong Homeplus bus stops.

Since 2013, the city has designated the 22nd of every month as Climate Action Day, promoting five climate actions for Changwon citizens: participation in the Carbon Point System, use of public transportation, bicycle use, eating vegetarian meals, and installation of Green Touch devices.

Lee Jeong-geun, Director of the Environment and Urban Affairs Bureau, said, "Global warming is not a simple issue of longer summers and increased heatwave days, but a serious problem threatening our survival and daily lives. To prevent the Earth's temperature from rising by 1.5 degrees, everyone must act together."
