"How Can Changwon Achieve Sustainable Development?" ... Changwon Special Mayor Hong Nampyo Gives Special Lecture on UN Sustainable Development Goals

"Changwon Special City will establish solid policies through collaboration among the public, private, industrial, and academic sectors, so I ask citizens to become strong partners in the implementation of these policies."

Hong Nampyo, Changwon Special Mayor, Special Lecture on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

On the 24th, Hong Nam-pyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, delivered this message during a special lecture held at the Citizen Hall for about 200 graduates of the Sustainable Development Citizen Academy, focusing on the 9th goal among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (hereafter SDGs).

The 17 SDGs were adopted by the UN in 2015 with the aim of being achieved by 2030, and the 9th goal is the growth and innovation of industry.

This special lecture was organized at the request of the Changwon Sustainable Development Council (hereafter the Council) to the Mayor of Changwon Special City, as communication with citizens was deemed necessary regarding 'Changwon's sustainable development strategy through industrial innovation,' which is a core direction for the city among the SDGs.

The Changwon Council oversees the 'Sustainable Development Citizen Academy,' and has been educating about 800 citizens last year and about 300 citizens this year on the importance of the SDGs, with plans to continue in the second half of the year.

During the special lecture, Mayor Hong explained ▲cases of sustainability efforts by nations, individuals, and companies ▲efforts by the international community and government for sustainable development ▲the process of the UN adopting the SDGs ▲the vision and core values for the next 50 years of the Changwon National Industrial Complex in relation to the SDGs.

A representative from the Changwon Council, which organized the special lecture, said, "We thank the Mayor of Changwon for willingly accepting the invitation to give a special lecture despite a busy schedule including the regular council session and organizational restructuring in the second half of the year. We will continue to educate many citizens on balanced and harmonious development strategies in the economy, society, and environment for the sustainability of Changwon City."

Meanwhile, the 17 SDGs consist of 4 economic, 6 social, 5 environmental, and 2 partnership enhancement goals.
