President Moon Jae-in met with the leaders of 40 countries, including the United States and China, at a video conference hall in Sangchunjae, the Blue House.
They showed their willingness to respond to the climate crisis by wearing a tie made of waste plastic and a lapel pin made of waste glass of marine waste.
President Moon unveiled two plans to achieve the goal of being carbon neutral, that is, a net carbon emission'zero'.
[President Moon Jae-in: We will further raise our national GHG reduction targets and submit them to the UN within this year. We will completely cease public financial support for new overseas coal-fired power plants.]
President Moon has been face-to-face for the first time since President Biden took office.
Ahead of the next month's summit meeting, it took a look-ahead, but there were no separate meetings between the two leaders.
For the first time, the leaders of the US, China and the Mirror, whose business issues such as economic issues and human rights issues are facing confrontation, also met.
In front of the challenge of carbon neutrality, they shared a common voice, but in terms of the strength of responsibility of developed and developing countries, they took a different position.
[Biden/US President: The US will cut greenhouse gases by 50% by 2030.]
[Chi Jinping/President of China: The principle of shared discriminatory responsibility is the cornerstone of global climate response.]
The meeting of the leaders who faced the common task of humanity in responding to climate change will be held for two days until today (23rd).
