National Gwangju Science Museum Hosts Special Exhibition '2050 Carbon Zero City'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The National Gwangju Science Museum will hold a special exhibition titled “2050 Carbon Zero City” from the 8th to December 4th to raise awareness of the seriousness of climate crises such as abnormal weather and global warming, and to encourage actions to overcome the climate crisis.

The exhibition space is composed of a total of five zones?▲ Burning Earth ▲ Climate Crisis ▲ Efforts to Overcome the Crisis and Carbon Neutrality ▲ Carbon Zero City ▲ Restored Earth?featuring more than 40 interactive exhibits with diverse content.

In the “Burning Earth Zone,” visitors can experience a space that conveys how the beautiful and abundant nature has been devastated due to the Industrial Revolution and other factors, encountering a red earth where massive glaciers are melting and wildfires frequently occur.

In the “Climate Crisis Zone,” visitors can learn about various climate changes and abnormal weather phenomena, understand the changes in ecosystems and the suffering of plants and animals caused by climate change, and see how human life is affected. Visitors can experience the causes of climate change and the changes brought about by global warming, raising awareness of the climate crisis.

In the “Efforts to Overcome the Crisis and Carbon Neutrality” zone, visitors can participate in a virtual international conference room to discuss countermeasures with world leaders via video conference, experience reading and signing declarations, and vote for or against climate agreements. Through OX quizzes and videos, the concept of carbon neutrality is made easier to understand, and the achievements of research institutions working toward 2050 carbon neutrality can also be seen.

Additionally, there is the “Energy Exploration Team” corner, an experience zone where visitors can learn about the principles of eco-friendly and renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power, and bioenergy.

In the “Carbon Zero City” zone, visitors can explore various contents including methods for efficient electrical energy management, carbon zero city design experiences, zero energy houses, future carbon-neutral cities, and eco-friendly mobility.

In the final “Restored Earth” zone, visitors reflect on the exhibition and take time to pledge actions for protecting the Earth’s environment.

Furthermore, the exhibition will showcase eight award-winning videos submitted through the “Carbon Neutral Practice Life Science Video Content Contest” previously held by the National Gwangju Science Museum.

Deputy Director Jeon Tae-ho said, “I hope this exhibition will serve as an opportunity for people to empathize with the serious global crisis caused by climate change, understand the efforts of the nation and society to overcome it, and realize the importance of daily practice that leads to action.”
