This program was organized to strengthen the capabilities of the selected "carbon neutral village activists" for the smooth implementation of Busan City's "Creating Carbon Neutral Villages" initiative.

With about 10 participants, including village activists and Busan City officials, the event featured a roundtable discussion for stakeholders involved in the creation of carbon neutral villages. It also included lectures such as "Learning Cases of Sustainable Regional Transition Based on Sustainable Development" by Lim Sujeong, Deputy Director of the Institute for Environmental Education for All, and "Environmental Education for Responding to the Climate Crisis and Achieving Carbon Neutrality."

Participants shared practical measures for realizing a carbon neutral society and explored village-level implementation strategies through discussions and Q&A sessions.

Busan City's "Creating Carbon Neutral Villages" project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through citizen-led improvements in village-level lifestyles with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The role of village activists is considered crucial in providing a practical model for a sustainable carbon neutral society.

Lee Taeyoon, Director of the Busan Green Environment Support Center and Dean of the College of Environmental and Marine Sciences at Pukyong National University, stated, "Through this capacity building program, we will enhance the expertise of carbon neutral village activists and seek sustainable carbon neutral practices in cooperation with local residents," adding, "We look forward to active citizen participation in the transition to a carbon neutral society."
