Honorable Prime Minister Mark Luther, Ban Ki-moon, Bill Gates, Krystallina Georgeva, Co-Chair of the Global Adaptation Committee, and the leaders of each country,

In the first year of implementation of the Paris Agreement, I am pleased to join the first summit to gather wisdom for’climate adaptation’.

‘Climate adaptation’ is the wisdom for humans to live with nature and the effort for humanity to live safely from climate dangers.

In addition to past efforts that focused on’reduction of greenhouse gases’, the Paris Agreement defined’climate adaptation’ with all the parties as a key element of’climate change response’, and was evaluated as’a monumental victory for mankind and the planet.’ .

The Korean people have a strong will to live with nature even if they are a little uncomfortable, and they have been proactively and proactively participating in human efforts to adapt to climate change.

Prior to the conclusion of the Paris Agreement, the’National Climate Change Adaptation Center’ was designated in 2009, and since 2010, five-year climate adaptation measures have been established and implemented. Even last year, which was difficult due to the coronavirus, the people and the government will work together to prepare the 3rd climate adaptation countermeasure towards a’climate-safe country’, and from this year, we will establish and implement detailed implementation plans.

Korea will continue to move forward toward the ‘2050 carbon neutrality’ that was pledged last year. Establish and practice’small rules of conduct’ that can be practiced in daily life,
We will promote the’Green New Deal’ combined with digital innovation in all areas of society, while sharing our experiences and achievements with countries around the world.

We will also contribute to the climate adaptation efforts of developing countries. We plan to expand and develop the annual adaptation capacity support program, and from this year onwards, we will operate the Climate Adaptation Academy in collaboration with the Secretariat of the UN Convention on Climate Change. We look forward to the active participation of the Global Adaptation Committee.

The 2nd P4G Summit will be held in Seoul, Korea in May. We will do our best as a host country to become a venue for practical discussions for overcoming the climate crisis and for green recovery, including climate adaptation. We ask for your deep interest and participation in the 2nd P4G Summit.
