South Korea targets sixty-one percent emissions cut by 2035
(MENAFN) South Korea on Monday approved a plan to reduce the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions by 53% to 61% by 2035, aiming to accelerate its path toward carbon neutrality while strengthening industrial competitiveness.
The Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth endorsed the updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target for 2035, slightly exceeding the government’s initial proposal of a 50% to 60% reduction, according to reports.
The Cabinet is expected to finalize the emissions target at a meeting on Tuesday and officially unveil the plan at the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belem, Brazil, which runs through Nov. 21.
Under the Paris Agreement, all nations are required to submit and update their NDCs every five years. South Korea had previously submitted its 2030 NDC in 2021, committing to a 40% reduction in emissions from 2018 levels.
Prime Minister Kim Min-seok said the decision reflects the government’s goal to accelerate the transition to carbon neutrality while enhancing industrial competitiveness.
To meet the 2035 target, South Korea plans to expand the use of renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power, as part of its strategy to reduce emissions and advance sustainable growth.
