Among the five pledges Mayor Oh submitted to the Central Election Commission in this re-election election, there was no other pledge related to climate and environment. Mayor Oh did not propose a carbon reduction target in Seoul, nor did he come up with an alternative or energy efficiency policy to reduce carbon emissions in the housing sector, which has a high proportion of greenhouse gases.
