Uiwang City Deliberates and Adopts 'Carbon Neutral Green Growth Basic Plan'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Uiwang City held the 'Uiwang City 2050 Carbon Neutral Green Growth Committee' in the city hall conference room on the 29th and deliberated and adopted the 'Uiwang City Carbon Neutral Green Growth Basic Plan.'

The basic plan adopted this time is a legal plan under Article 12 of the 'Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth for Climate Crisis Response.' The city has set its vision as 'Eco-friendly City of Uiwang, leading carbon neutrality with citizens.'

Under this plan, the city aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 810,000 tons in 2018 to 485,000 tons by 2030, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

In particular, to achieve these goals, the city has established a roadmap for greenhouse gas reduction strategies in five sectors—buildings, transportation, waste, absorption sources, and adaptation infrastructure—and has formulated concrete implementation measures consisting of 43 detailed projects.

Mayor Kim Sung-je said, "The climate crisis is not simply an environmental issue but a matter directly connected to our survival," and added, "Based on this basic plan, we will actively implement carbon neutrality policies." He further stated, "We request your active interest and participation from citizens to overcome the climate crisis and realize carbon neutrality."
