Gwangju City Recruiting Citizens' Policy Design Group for Climate Crisis Response Until the 28th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 16th that it is recruiting the ‘Climate Crisis Response Citizen Policy Design Group’ until the 28th to discuss preparations and implementation plans for realizing a carbon-neutral energy self-reliant city by 2045.

The design group was established as a deliberative citizen participation method for broad and transparent opinion gathering during the process of establishing Gwangju’s climate crisis response roadmap.

This year, Gwangju is developing customized strategies tailored to the characteristics of the region to provide clear direction and concretization of policies promoting the realization of a carbon-neutral city by 2045.

Establishing the climate crisis response roadmap is a foundational task for achieving carbon neutrality, and participation from citizens across all sectors is crucial to design it together with citizens and decide policies together, thereby eliciting social consensus and support.

The Climate Crisis Response Citizen Policy Design Group is open to any Gwangju citizen aged 10 or older who is interested in climate change, carbon neutrality, and Green New Deal policies.

A total of 100 members will be recruited, and applicants can submit their application forms by accessing the recruitment website or the QR code on the poster.

The selected design group will hold an inauguration ceremony next month and, until October, will provide opinions on climate crisis response, Gwangju-type AI-Green New Deal, and carbon neutrality transition, propose visions and slogans for achieving a carbon-neutral city by 2045, and derive citizen policy tasks.

Song Yong-su, head of the city’s Climate and Environmental Policy Division, said, “From the design stage of the basic plan for climate change response, we will establish a realistic basic plan for realizing a carbon-neutral energy self-reliant city by 2045 through empathy and communication with citizens,” and added, “We ask many citizens to apply for the Climate Crisis Response Citizen Policy Design Group.”
