This event serves as a major international platform for discussing key climate agendas ahead of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It is a large-scale international event with more than 1,000 participants, including domestic and international government officials, members of international organizations, and industry stakeholders.

During the event, Pohang City will operate a promotional booth, focusing on its ‘Industry-Climate Linked MICE City’ strategy through major international events such as the construction of the Pohang International Exhibition and Convention Center (POEX), the World Green Growth Forum (WGGF), and the ICLEI World Congress.

In particular, Pohang is gaining attention as a city simultaneously advancing both carbon neutrality-related industries and policies, including hydrogen-based steelmaking, secondary battery recycling, distributed energy, and the Greenway Project, making it a notable example of integrating industry with climate response.

Taking this opportunity, the city will actively promote its conditions for hosting international conferences and its support policies, while also engaging in networking activities with domestic and international participants to discover and attract future international events.

A Pohang City official stated, "This Climate Week is an important opportunity to showcase both Pohang's industrial foundation and its climate response capabilities to the international community," adding, "By linking the MICE infrastructure centered on POEX with international events, we aim to position Pohang as a global platform city for climate and industrial cooperation."
