[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Carbon Neutrality Promotion Committee of Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, was launched on the 13th.

The committee is composed of 23 experts from various fields including administration, industry, civil society, transportation, and academia to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. It will play a central role in realizing carbon neutrality by reviewing and deciding on related major policies and plans.

On the same day, the city awarded appointment letters to 16 private committee members.

Reflecting the purpose of carbon neutrality, the city produced the appointment letters on eco-friendly paper without a separate cover. Using signboards made from recycled cardboard boxes, they performed a campaign titled "Carbon Neutrality Before It's Too Late, Climate-Safe City Gimhae."

Afterwards, a founding meeting was held to explain the progress of the service project for Gimhae City's climate change response plan and to discuss the direction of carbon neutrality promotion.

A city official stated, "Due to the climate crisis, which seriously threatens human survival rights, carbon neutrality must be considered in all policies," and added, "We hope that the launch of the committee will lead to effective carbon neutrality policies through public-private cooperation."
