Icheon Sustainable Development Council Concludes 'Citizens' Discussion Workshop'

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong] The Icheon Sustainable Development Council (Standing Chair Jung Cheol-hwa) announced on the 29th that it has successfully concluded a 'Citizens' Discussion Workshop' in which it conducted a comprehensive review of the 8th Term Icheon's sustainable development goals and presented supplementation and alternatives reflecting current realities.

The workshop was conducted through brainstorming and icebreaker techniques divided into six groups, with each group engaging in spirited discussions on phased agenda items including ▲Icheon's present and future ▲analysis and evaluation of existing sustainable goals ▲introduction of additional agenda for realizing future vision ▲supplementation for successful realization and establishment of cooperative systems. Each group presented their findings accordingly.

The event attracted considerable attention as it reached early enrollment capacity upon recruitment of participants, with approximately 100 citizen activists from various sectors including society, environment, industry, economy, education, and culture in Icheon actively participating, while the 11th term council's action agenda received notable attention from the local community.

Standing Chair Jung Cheol-hwa stated, "While global environmental preservation and responding to climate crisis are core agenda of the council, the networking role of fusing the goals and orientations of 45 organizations and institutions that have signed cooperative agreements with the council, as well as Icheon's objectives, is also a precious responsibility." He added, "I extend my gratitude to Mayor Kim Gyeong-hee of Icheon and City Council Member Park No-hee who visited the workshop, as well as to all who participated. The agenda proposed in the discussions will be properly conveyed to the city administration."
