I ask you to meticulously draw up a road map for the energy transition from fossil fuels to environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources, and review plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In a budget speech at the National Assembly last week, Moon said that South Korea will work to be carbon neutral by 2050.
The President noted that it’s not an easy task, given the country’s heavily reliance on fossil fuels.
However, Moon said that it must be done in order to respond to climate change and maintain economic growth.
