Ulsan City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City is recruiting a ‘Citizen Participation Group’ until April 4 to find Ulsan’s own challenges and solutions toward carbon neutrality in the era of climate crisis. The total number of recruits is 50.

Citizens who wish to participate can fill out and submit the application form through the banner on the Ulsan City and Ulsan Research Institute websites or the QR code in the reference materials.

Ulsan City plans to select participants considering residence, age, gender, and occupation to ensure diverse citizen opinions are reflected.

The Citizen Participation Group will receive online preliminary education in early April, and then participate in a forum for realizing carbon-neutral Ulsan at 2 p.m. on April 16 in the large conference room on the 2nd floor of the City Hall main building.

The discussion will be conducted by discovering key issues in major fields of citizen interest and proposing solutions.

Ulsan’s direct greenhouse gas emissions in 2018 were 41 million tons of CO2, ranking 8th among 17 metropolitan cities and provinces.

To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Ulsan City declared the ‘2050 Carbon Neutral Ulsan Founding Year Declaration’ on February 4.

Starting with collecting opinions from this Citizen Participation Group, Ulsan City plans to announce the vision of Ulsan as a leading carbon-neutral city around Environment Day on June 5.

An official from Ulsan City said, “Carbon neutrality can only be achieved with citizen action. We hope many will apply so that highly feasible and necessary policies for citizens can be discovered.”
