The fact that the earth is getting warmer now than ever before is an undeniable reality, and many people are aware of its seriousness. The international society also considers climate change seriously. The air and water pollution, which was a main environmental problem in the 20th century, was relatively a regional issue. On the contrary, climate change has critical repercussions for the whole world, and even threatens the survival of the human race. We can overcome global warming when all the people and nations work together actively.
“City leaders could not wait on the painfully slow progress of
national governments on green issues. The battle to tackle
climate change will be won or lost in cities,”
said Mr. Livingstone, the former mayor of London.
If we consider that over 80% of the world greenhouse gases are emitted from the metro region which is only 2% of the whole surface of the earth, our efforts to cope with climate change at a regional level is desperately needed, separately from at a international or national level. Daejayon supports major cities to cope with global climate change together, and to demonstrate their leadership so that they can map out detailed plans to act and cooperate for mitigation of greenhouse gases.
As much as we’ve enjoyed comfort, the ecosystem has been destroyed and humankind
is groaning in pain by the climate disaster.
We all are the culprits of global warming.
We are holding the Earth Walk Campaign and
the Earth Walk Forum to remember and help
climate refugees who are suffering because of
us.
Change the attitude of local governments and let them regard the environment serious
Overcome global warming by leading the participation of the whole world
Make all city of the world greener and energy independent city
