[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 9th that it will hold the '13th Changwon Green Expo' from the 12th to June 12.

The theme of the event is 'Before It's Too Late, Let's Act. Climate Action.' It is promoted to enhance citizens' environmental awareness of the climate crisis and to explore various practical methods for creating a carbon-neutral city.

This event consists of an environmental contest, environmental experience events, and side events. It will engage with citizens through the dedicated Green Expo website. The contest submission period is 11 days, from the 20th to the 30th.

The participation categories are environmental speaking (elementary and youth divisions), environmental videos (elementary, youth, and general divisions), environmental webtoon drawing (elementary and youth divisions), environmental drawing (elementary and youth divisions), and environmental photography (Changwon citizens), totaling five categories.

Two drawing categories will be evaluated by a professional judging panel. The environmental speaking, environmental video, and environmental photography categories will undergo a first round of evaluation by the professional judging panel, followed by an additional online evaluation by citizens. The final judging results will be announced on the website on May 24.

The experience events, in collaboration with five district regional children's centers as last year, will involve 150 children per region, totaling 750 children, participating in climate citizen environmental education and making experience kits. Additionally, an experience event for citizens to plant ground cover plants effective in reducing fine dust will be conducted through online advance reservations.

An Myeongseon, Chairperson of the Green Expo Promotion Committee, stated, "This year's Green Expo has prepared programs so that citizens can more easily understand and practice the climate crisis and carbon neutrality."

Mayor Heo Seongmu emphasized, "Last year, as efforts were made for nature, people, and sustainable city creation, results such as the return of sweetfish and salmon to urban streams and the recent discovery of the natural monument otter have appeared. We will continue to do our best to create a sustainable Changwon Special City where people and nature coexist, as well as achieve carbon neutrality by 2050."
