[한국분양정보] In line with the government’s declaration of carbon neutrality in 2050, Gwangju’s Western District is accelerating the creation of a 2045 carbon neutral city by announcing the “Western Green New Deal Carbon Neutral City Comprehensive Plan”.

In 2020, after Corona 19, the events that caused the most issues are natural disasters caused by the effects of climate change.

Indonesia’s Jakarta city center was submerged, 15,000 wildfires occurred across Australia, and the temperature in Verkhoyansk in Siberia, Russia, rose to 38 degrees, reaching an all-time high.

Last year, the rainy season that started in late June in Korea lasted until August, recording the longest rainy season in history, 54 days.

The main culprit of this climate change is greenhouse gas, and if greenhouse gas emissions are emitted according to the current trend, there is a high probability of more serious and complex natural disasters, so many countries are vigorously declaring carbon neutrality.

In order to proactively respond to such a climate crisis, the West declared the first climate crisis emergency action in the Gwangju Autonomous Region in January of this year, and plans to establish and implement a practical greenhouse gas reduction scenario and carbon neutral action plan.

Carbon-neutral means that as much as GHG emissions are emitted, measures to absorb and reduce GHG emissions are set to zero. It aims to reduce 821,520 tons, which is 45% of the expected GHG emissions by the end of the year.

To this end, Seo-gu plans to carry out 40 projects in 7 areas, including building, transportation, waste, public infrastructure, green infrastructure, agriculture, livestock, and external cooperation, and its main projects include new and renewable energy convergence support projects, fine dust clean management pilot areas, and fine dust notification There are installation of meteorological display boards, operation of cooling fog in response to climate change and heat waves, green rainwater infrastructure construction project, and operation of Moonbit Nuri Environmental School.

In the future, the West said that it plans to continue to discover and promote detailed projects that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by collecting various opinions from residents.

A Western official said, “Carbon neutrality has become an essential strategy, not an option for survival.” I will practice it.”
