Hong Nampyo, Changwon Special Mayor, Joins Climate Crisis! Green Action Challenge No.1

Mayor Hong: "We will manage city administration to make Changwon safe from climate disasters"

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam and the Changwon Sustainable Development Council (hereinafter referred to as the Sustainable Council) have launched the "Save Everyone's Earth. Climate Crisis! Green Action Challenge" from the 13th to October 12th to promote climate action in daily life.

The "Climate Crisis! Green Action Challenge" is being conducted to encourage individuals to commit to personal actions in daily life to overcome the climate crisis amid increasingly severe damage to lives and property worldwide caused by droughts, floods, and wildfires.

The Sustainable Council proposed this project through its Climate and Energy Subcommittee and will carry it out over one month targeting 1,004 Changwon citizens.

Mayor Hong Nam-pyo, the first challenger, said, "I will manage city administration to make Changwon Special City safe from climate disasters for myself, us, and future generations," and added, "I urge the 1.02 million citizens of Changwon to participate so that our earth, which is boiling hot, can become healthy again."

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, participated as the first participant in the Green Action Challenge.

To stop the global temperature rise above 1.5 degrees Celsius, the city is establishing the Changwon 2050 Carbon Neutral Policy and preparing for selection as a Net Zero City (a city with infrastructure for achieving carbon neutrality) by the Ministry of Environment. In addition, to prepare for climate disasters caused by climate change, the current disaster response system is being thoroughly analyzed and supplemented, and the response systems of related organizations including the police and fire departments are being strengthened.

Citizens wishing to participate in the challenge can download the participation form from the city or Sustainable Council website, fill out their personal climate actions, and send a certification photo. Fifty citizens will be selected by lottery to receive a 10,000 KRW Changwon Love Gift Certificate. For inquiries, contact the Changwon City Environmental Policy Division or the Changwon Sustainable Development Council.
