Gyeonggi Province operates the 'Gyeonggi Climate Citizens' Assembly' as a deliberative public forum to be reflected in the basic plan for carbon-neutral green growth.

To this end, Gyeonggi Province recruited 52 young people under the age of 34 through a public contest last month and formed the Climate Citizens' Assembly with a total of 158 members by adding 106 existing members of the Carbon Neutral Citizens' Promotion Group. The members were allocated by region to ensure participation from all 31 cities and counties.

Last September, Gyeonggi Province announced the climate crisis response strategy project 'Switch the Gyeonggi,' and the members of this Climate Citizens' Assembly were named 'Switchers,' meaning people who turn off the Earth's heat and turn on sustainability.

The Climate Citizens' Assembly conducts full sessions and in-depth discussions by five subcommittees: energy, buildings, transportation, waste, and agriculture/livestock & carbon sinks. Through this, they will prepare seven major policy tasks: ▲ review opinions on the basic carbon-neutral plan ▲ cooperation measures with cities and counties ▲ youth proposals ▲ policy recommendations (drafts) ▲ Gyeonggi residents' pledge to act ▲ Gyeonggi Climate Charter ▲ citizen participation implementation monitoring measures.
