Six Organizations Housed in Gyeonggi-do Talent Development Institute Launch Joint Campaign for Carbon Neutrality Practice

The heads of six institutions housed in the Gyeonggi-do Human Resources Development Institute are taking a commemorative photo after pledging to lead carbon neutrality efforts for the next 100 days.

Six public institutions, including the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization and other tenants of the Gyeonggi Human Resources Development Institute, declared their commitment to 'Carbon Neutral Activities' on April 19 in front of the new building of the Human Resources Development Institute, ahead of 'Earth Day' on April 22, and will conduct a joint campaign for 100 days until July 27.

The six participating institutions are the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, Gyeonggi Research Institute, Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Women's Family Foundation, Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation, and Gyeonggi Regional Dementia Center.

On this day, these institutions selected four key action tasks with their employees to overcome the climate crisis for future generations and pledged to practice low-carbon living.

Over the next 100 days, the six institutions will carry out activities including ▲ turning off all office lights during lunch hours ▲ banning single-use items and mandating the use of personal tumblers and reusable containers ▲ purchasing eco-friendly office supplies such as printing paper ▲ joint plogging activities along Gyeonggi Province’s coastlines and trails. Employees who complete the missions will also receive gifts such as companion plants.

A representative from the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization stated, "Abnormal weather and human casualties are frequently occurring worldwide due to global warming," adding, "We will continuously carry out small but practical activities in daily life to keep pace with the global carbon-neutral era together with Gyeonggi Province."

Carbon neutral activities refer to minimizing greenhouse gas emissions that cause global temperature rise and increasing carbon sinks such as forests, ultimately achieving a net zero greenhouse gas emission balance.
