Seoul City to Hold Week-long Event on June 5th to Commemorate 'Environment Day'... Promoting a Culture of Climate Crisis Response Practices

On the 5th, over 100 MZ generation participants held 'Admiring with Jupgging' at Banpo Hangang Park

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 2nd that it will hold a week-long 'Environment Day Week Event' starting on the 5th in celebration of Environment Day.

Through this event, Seoul City plans to spread a culture of climate crisis response practices by delivering the message, "The only Earth, we are the Earth," to its citizens.

On the 5th, the event "Admire with Jupgging" will take place at Banpo Hangang Park, where participants will clean up trash. About 100 members of the MZ generation and actress Lim Semi, who has been actively working as an eco-influencer, will participate, with sponsorship from companies such as SKT, Daesang, and Lock&Lock.

During the "Admire with Jupgging" event, on-site activities will be held for citizens visiting Hangang Park. Games that are easy to participate in, such as "Hidden Picture Hunt for Disposable Products" and "Pledge to Not Use Disposable Products," aim to raise citizens' interest and practice in using reusable products. Practical environmental protection methods, such as proper waste sorting, will also be shared.

Meanwhile, event materials used in "Admire with Jupgging" will be recycled to create new products. In particular, banners used in the event will be made into eco-bags and used as prizes for Seoul City's environmental campaign.

From the 5th to the 11th, an online and offline campaign under the theme "Only One Earth" will be conducted, centered on the 2050 Carbon Neutral Citizen Action Group active in autonomous districts.

On the 7th, the "Seoul Environmental Education Forum" will be held in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and the Green Seoul Citizens' Committee. Environmental education experts from various fields will participate to review efforts and achievements since the 2017 "Seoul Environmental Learning City Declaration" and explore ways for Seoul to advance as a leading city in environmental education.

Yoo Yeon-sik, Head of the Climate and Environment Headquarters, said, "With the outdoor mask mandate lifted at Hangang Park and the weather warming up, the number of visitors has increased, leading to more waste being generated. In celebration of Environment Day, we are holding a meaningful jupgging event with citizens at Hangang Park." He added, "We hope that the various events prepared by Seoul City will help spread a culture of climate crisis response practices."
