Busan Metropolitan City has recently established the "The 1st Busan Metropolitan City Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth Master Plan" to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and realize its vision of a "Maritime Capital Busan, the Center of Future Transformation Free from the Climate Crisis."
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030(compared to 2018 levels) and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, tthe city has formulated policies for emissions reduction and for strengthening the implementation framework for climate crisis adaptation. To accelerate the achievement of these objectives, Busan has identified and is now promoting four major ""Busan-Specific Carbon Neutrality Policies.
- Creating a Green City in Parks and Gardens : Creating an eco-friendly and sustainable urban environment by fostering pedestrian-centric lifestyles(walking, cycling, etc.) to lower carbon emissions. This includes developing green spaces and establishing resource recycling infrastructure within neighborhood life zones.
- A Mecca for Resource Recycling : To realize carbon neutrality, a shift toward a circular economy is indispensable. This involves establishing world-class infrastructure within the metropolis for large-scale waste consolidation and building a system for waste resource circulation.
- A Global Maritime City Responding to the Climate Crisis : Securing future growth engines by developing carbon-neutral port infrastructure and related industries to lead the global market, and by constructing a maritime city that is safe from the climate crisis.
