[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon announced that "efforts and achievements of public institution leaders in achieving RE100 will be actively reflected in leadership evaluations."

Governor Kim announced on SNS on the 17th that he presided over the first meeting of Gyeonggi Province's climate crisis response held that day.

Governor Kim stated, "Starting with replacing all lighting fixtures installed in public institutions with LED lights as quickly as possible, we have decided to improve energy efficiency and performance of public buildings," and added, "We will also promptly review policies for provincial residents expected to face difficulties from abnormal weather such as 'electricity rate increases' and 'extreme heat,' including support for residential solar power generation and expansion of shared electricity zero-emission apartments."

He also announced that the committee will hold a naming contest and requested "the attention and participation of provincial residents."

The following is the full text of Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon's SNS post.

<Climate Crisis as a Challenge for Gyeonggi Province Government as a Whole>

We do not view climate crisis response as the responsibility of a single department within Gyeonggi Province, but are promoting all policies across the entire provincial administration in an environment and energy-friendly manner, taking one step closer to solving the climate crisis.

Today, I personally presided over the first meeting of Gyeonggi Province's climate crisis response, with Climate Ambassador former Minister Kang Geum-shil, Co-Chair Professor Jeon Ui-chan, and several committee members. Thanks to the committee members' active input, we gained considerable inspiration.

We also found tasks to implement immediately.

Starting with replacing all lighting fixtures installed in public institutions with LED lights as quickly as possible, we have decided to improve energy efficiency and performance of public buildings. We will actively reflect public institution leaders' efforts and achievements in achieving RE100 in leadership evaluations.

We will also promptly review policies proposed by committee members, including support for residential solar power generation and expansion of shared electricity zero-emission apartments, to help provincial residents facing difficulties from abnormal weather such as 'electricity rate increases' and 'extreme heat.'

The official name of the current committee is 'Gyeonggi Province 2050 Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth Committee.'

However, difficult terms such as 'carbon neutrality' and 'green growth' do not easily reach provincial residents, and since the central government's policies using the same committee name are more passive and lagging compared to Gyeonggi Province, we have decided to hold a naming contest.

We request the attention and participation of provincial residents.
