South Korea Opens Global Warming Center

The first environmental group not tied to government in South Korea is being formed under the name “Korea Green Foundation”, or KGF. Their goal is to attack issues of global warming in and outside of South Korea. They will soon be opening the Global Warming Center at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul. Their committee is comprised of local and international scholars, business leaders, and civic activists who are working collectively to combat global warming. Through ongoing support, the KGF will continue to define and act on long-term plans to solve the issue of global warming. Their first actions will come in the form of campaigns to stop environmental damage. They have already been backed by Seoul National University and world-famous anthropologist and activist Jane Goodall.
