[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Comprehensive paper company Kkaekkeutan Nara announced on the 19th that it sponsored the 'Youth Environment Forum' held on the 18th at the Seoul City Hall lawn square to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Environmental Foundation Children's Environment Center.

The Youth Environment Forum was organized to widely raise awareness of the climate crisis threatening the survival rights of children and adolescents and to urge countermeasures, marking the 10th anniversary of the Environmental Foundation Children's Environment Center. The forum's first session, consisting of lectures and discussions by environmental experts, was broadcast live online via YouTube, while the second session, featuring performances and campaigns, took place at the Seoul City Hall lawn square.

In particular, at the forum, an environmental expert gave a lecture titled "Warning from the Earth, Environmental Crisis Clock," and child and adolescent green leaders delivered representative speeches on "The Climate Crisis Felt by Future Generations" and "Changes for a Safe Future Environment," followed by discussions on ways to overcome the climate crisis.

A representative from Kkaekkeutan Nara expressed hope that this Youth Environment Forum became a platform for children and adolescents to properly recognize and actively discuss climate and environmental issues, stating, "Kkaekkeutan Nara will continue resource circulation and environmental improvement activities so that children and adolescents, the future generations, can unfold their futures in a clean environment."

Meanwhile, the Children's Environment Center, established in 2012 by the Environmental Foundation as a specialized institution for children's environmental issues, appointed Kkaekkeutan Nara CEO Choi Hyun-soo as a director of the center in May, leading efforts in protecting children and adolescent environments and responding to the climate crisis.
