The 7^th Asia Environmental Forum: Clean Air International Forum in 2019   

 <KGF will host the 8^th Asia Environmental Forum: Global Net Zero>

The 8th Asia Environmental Forum will be held on Wednesday, October 27th this year. The topic of the forum is ‘Global Net Zero’, 

where we will be  discussing implementing the role of local governments, businesses, and citizens towards carbon neutrality and inclusive policies.   

The Asia Environmental Forum is an international forum launched by The Korea Green Foundation in May 2012 to mark the 30th anniversary of Korea's environmental movement. It is a place for debate where the winner of the Goldman Prize, which is known as the Nobel Prize in the environmental field, other domestic and international environment experts, Asian companies, government, and civil society come together to discuss the future of Asia's environment.

According to the 6th Assessment Report released by IPCC in August, the global temperature is likely to rise up to the internationally agreed threshold of 1.5℃ by 2040. It is 10 years earlier than the prediction in The Special Report on the Impacts of Global Warming of 1.5℃(2018). To recognize the gravity of the problem and to seek solutions to address the climate crises, the forum has prepared a time for experts, citizens, and related institutions to all come together to draw action plans for carbon neutrality and urge people to participate in it.

This year especially, the Gyeonggi-do Province Government and the Korea Green Foundation will be co-hosting the forum under the name, 'The 1st Global Net Zero Forum’. With the Green New Deal goal of low-carbon energy conversion, we will invite Kimiko Hirata(the winner of the Goldman Prize 2021), Chibeze Ezekiel(the winner of the Goldman Prize 2020), and Min Kim(head of Big-wave) as main speakers. It will be held at the Messe Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, and also be broadcasted through Youtube. Please join us and share your opinion.
