[2025 Audit] Kim Dongyeon Expresses Gratitude for Significant Interest in Gyeonggi Province's Leading Policies During Audit

Kim Dongyeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, expressed his gratitude for the significant interest shown in Gyeonggi Province's leading policies during the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee and Public Administration and Security Committee audits on October 20 and 21.

After the audit concluded on the 21st, Governor Kim posted on his social media, stating, "Following yesterday's audit by the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, we completed today's audit by the Public Administration and Security Committee. Many assembly members showed interest and raised questions about Gyeonggi Province's pioneering policies, such as climate insurance and the 4.5-day workweek."

He further pledged, "As the 'number one partner in national governance,' Gyeonggi Province will actively fulfill its role to ensure these policies can be more widely adopted as central government initiatives."

Previously, Han Byungdo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, remarked during the audit, "When I attended the Gyeonggi Provincial Budget Policy Council, I found the topic of climate insurance particularly intriguing. This summer was the hottest since observations began 73 years ago. While everyone suffers from the heat, it is especially harsh on climate-vulnerable groups. I suspect this is the background behind Gyeonggi Province's introduction of climate insurance."

He continued, "I am very interested in climate insurance. If it is expanded nationwide, it could develop into an integrated insurance policy that covers not only health damages but also losses to property and income," suggesting the possibility of legislative action.
