AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoGreen Industry: South Korea’s K-GX strategy puts about US$747 billion behind ten sectors, including solar, wind, batteries and electric vehicles, and supports a goal of 100 gigawatts of renewable power by 2030. The plan includes domestic production credits, but grid capacity remains a key hurdle. Island Transition: Jeju is targeting carbon neutrality across all sectors by 2035, with 7 gigawatts of renewable energy. The island’s push for energy independence began after a major blackout exposed its reliance on mainland power; grid stability and storage remain challenges. Urban Nature: Seoul Botanic Park has added 124 plants from 11 endangered species and 457 plants from 16 native coastal species, spotlighting biodiversity through its fall exhibition. Wildlife: A shark spotted in a Busan canal has been identified as an endangered species; officials say it may leave as the water cools. Climate Courts: As political momentum for climate action weakens in some countries, lawsuits are increasingly pushing governments toward stronger policies. South Korea is among the countries where court cases have helped drive climate-friendly measures.
