[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) will hold the '2050 Carbon Neutrality Practice All-Citizen Resolution Rally' on April 22 at 2 p.m. with residents to reaffirm the commitment to 'achieving carbon neutrality' in celebration of the 51st Earth Day.

Dobong-gu is a leading carbon-neutral autonomous district that announced the '2050 Dobong-gu Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy' on September 10 last year, aiming to reduce 1,342,000 tons of greenhouse gases by 2050 and realize a carbon-neutral green city.

This event was planned to contribute to 'achieving carbon neutrality by 2050' by encouraging residents, who are the main actors in responding to the climate crisis, to pledge to reduce greenhouse gases in their daily lives and to cultivate environmental awareness among residents on the occasion of the declaration of an environmental education city.

The '2050 Carbon Neutrality Practice All-Citizen Resolution Rally' will be held as an on-site event, but attendance will be limited to prevent COVID-19. Dobong-gu plans to broadcast the event live in real time through its official YouTube channel, 'DobongBong TV,' for local residents and guests who cannot attend in person.

The event will be attended by resident representatives including Dobong-gu Mayor Lee Dong-jin, Dobong-gu Council Chairman Park Jin-sik, Seoul Northern Education Support Office Superintendent Jo Yong-hoon, Dobong-gu Residents' Autonomy Council Chairman Kang Dae-hoon, Dobong-gu Chamber of Commerce Chairman Park Jae-hwan, and Dobong-gu Carbon Neutrality Practice Group Leader Doo Ho-gyun.

The event will proceed in the order of a congratulatory performance by the musical team Const House, presentation of appreciation plaques to outstanding groups of the 2020 summer Eco Mileage program, reading of the Carbon Neutrality Practice Charter and pledges by sector, declaration of the environmental education city and reading of the declaration, practice pledge performance, and commemorative photo session.

At the environmental education city proclamation ceremony, Mayor Lee Dong-jin and guests will read the environmental education city declaration and sign the declaration. In addition, the manual 'Green Life, Naega Green Green Dobong!' which contains practical guidelines for reducing greenhouse gases in daily life across seven major sectors?building, transportation, energy, circulation, forest, lifestyle, and education?will be introduced for the first time. The event will also encourage residents' commitment to reducing greenhouse gases through the 'Dobong Residents' Pledge to Reduce 4 Tons of Greenhouse Gases per Person.'

Mayor Lee Dong-jin of Dobong-gu stated, “This event is even more meaningful as various environmental pollution, ecosystem destruction, climate crisis, fine dust, and infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are spreading as global issues. Marking the first year of the new climate regime in 2021, Dobong-gu will jointly cooperate and strive with all generations to create 'Dobong, an Environmental Education City' that moves toward a sustainable world.”
