Sejong City Wins Minister's Award for Third Consecutive Year
Recognized for "A Day of Doing Good for the Earth" Campaign
Promoting Sustainable Environmental Protection and Citizen Participation

At the 2025 Public Service Design Performance Sharing Conference, organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Sejong City was honored with the Minister's Award for the third consecutive year.

On September 2, Sejong City announced that it had received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award at the Public Service Design Performance Sharing Conference held at the Sejong Government Complex on September 1. The city was recognized for the excellence of its policies promoting sustainable environmental protection and citizen participation.

The outstanding project selected this year is the "A Day of Doing Good for the Earth" campaign, which was designed to establish practical measures for achieving carbon neutrality. The campaign delivers the message that environmental protection is not difficult or extraordinary, but rather something anyone can easily practice through small choices in daily life.

In particular, the city introduced various policies to help citizens practice carbon neutrality without burden, including: preparing a list of actions that can be completed in under five minutes a day, and converting the amount of carbon reduction into the equivalent number of trees to encourage the use of public transportation.

Lee Yongil, Director of Planning and Coordination, stated, "The excellence of Sejong City's environmental protection and citizen participation-based policies has been recognized externally," and added, "We will continue to develop practical carbon neutrality measures that citizens can easily participate in, making Sejong City an even better place to live."

Previously, the city received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award for the "Born to Be an Urban Farmer" project in 2023, which fostered beginner urban farmers, and for the "Yonggi Naen Cafe" campaign in 2024, which offered a discount of 100 to 500 won when purchasing beverages with a reusable personal cup.
