[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Choo Kyung-ho, the nominee for Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance, stated on the 2nd that "realistic implementation measures must be prepared to achieve the government's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for greenhouse gas reduction."

At the confirmation hearing held at the National Assembly on the same day, nominee Choo said, "I agree with the direction of the current government's carbon reduction, but there was a lack of communication with the industrial sector." He also emphasized that carbon neutrality should be "utilized as a challenge and opportunity for our future."

Last year, the government set a goal to reduce national carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 compared to 2018 levels.
