The Ministry of Environment will concentrate its efforts to herald Korea's green growth policy to G20 participants, including foreign journalists, a top ministry official said.
Noting that the Seoul government is actively pushing ahead with green growth policy, Minister of Environment Lee Man-eui said, "At the G20 Summit to be held in Seoul on Nov. 11-12, we plan to confirm a political will to pursue green growth and cope with climate change, rather than detailed discussions."
Minister Lee said, "Related to this, we will offer various materials to publicize Korea's excellent environment and green policies, including 'green start movement' and the four-river project, to foreign journalists who came to the country to cover the G20 Business Summit and the G20 Summit meetings."
Green Start Movement refers to a nationwide campaign toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the non-industrial sector through the participation and actions of citizens. The movement has been initiated in October 2008 with the foundation of the Green Start National Network.
