In the process of rapid development, East Asia is also facing a series of disasters and accidents, including climate change. In the region, there are people who
are committed to conserving the environment and lives. Korea Green Foundation is saving no effort to provide
full cooperation for them to dream bigger and act more.
To address environmental issues and build environmental network of Asia in the most affected region by climate change, the foundation is supporting
environmental activists, NGOs and environmental projects in the region. This was by no means a single isolated support. After the support, an evaluation
committee was organized with members of experts to check and see whether the activities keep going well.

Just as the grant from Germany and Japan helped lay meaningful first grounds, almost 30 years ago, when we first started environmental activities in Korea,
Korea Green Foundation will provide consistent and stable support to address environmental issues of Asian countries, most vulnerable to climate change.

India. In 2014, 1,380 students in 92 schools in 3 regions in
Kerala participated in developing biodiversity registry project.
This was the first large-scale project held at schools and was

system for16 households living without electricity.
Also they ran educational courses on how to maintain and
repair solar lamps. The education to boost energy awareness
was welcomed by the community. The original target partici
pants were 400, but more than 612 people took the course.

women in managing solar lamps in the future.
