Seongnam City Hall

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will open a Carbon Neutrality Support Center on the 13th.

On the 11th, Seongnam City announced that on the same day at 10 a.m., the opening ceremony of the Carbon Neutrality Support Center will be held at the Climate Energy Division office on the 5th floor of City Hall, attended by about 30 people including Mayor Shin Sang-jin, and the center will begin full-scale operations.

The center is an organization dedicated to implementing carbon neutrality policies and promoting green growth.

To proactively achieve the 2050 carbon neutrality goal, Seongnam City enacted the "Seongnam City Basic Ordinance on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth for Climate Crisis Response," establishing the legal basis for the establishment and operation of the Carbon Neutrality Support Center.

The center will operate with a total of four dedicated personnel, including the center director (concurrently serving as the head of the Climate Energy Division), one public official, and two fixed-term public officials, working in the Climate Energy Division office at City Hall.

The main tasks include establishing and implementing Seongnam City's basic carbon neutrality plan and annual implementation plans, discovering ways to enhance community participation and awareness of carbon neutrality, and conducting related surveys and research.

The center's budget totals 200 million KRW, including 100 million KRW in national funds, with plans to expand the project scale and increase the related budget in the future.

A Seongnam City official explained, "The Carbon Neutrality Support Center will play a key role in leading Seongnam City's carbon neutrality implementation and green growth."
