APCC, As One of The Member Institutes of BCCCG, Participated in Holding the 2022 Busan Climate Change Forum
The Busan Climate Change Consultative Group (BCCCG), which the APEC Climate Center (APCC) is participating in as a member institute, hosted the 2022 Busan Climate Change Forum on November 17, 2022, at the International Conference Room in the Busan Metropolitan City Hall, Republic of Korea. The theme of the event was: ‘Carbon Neutral Measures with Citizens of Busan’. With over 100 Busan citizens interested in climate change and carbon neutrality in attendance, This forum aimed to provide the venue to introduce meteorological and climate information to respond to the increasingly frequent extreme climate events and share specific action plans necessary for the realization of carbon neutrality in the Busan Metropolitan City with the citizens of Busan Metropolitan City.The BCCCG, which the Busan Metropolitan City, the Busan Regional Office of Meteorology (BROM), Busan Development Institute (BDI), and APCC are participating in as member institutes, was formed in March 2021. The purpose of BCCCG are not only to promote the sharing of science and policies related to climate change within the Busan region through the participation of the public, public, academic, and research institutions, but also to implement the 2050 carbon neutrality in Busan. By doing so, BCCCG hopes that the Busan region will effectively respond to climate change issues.​ Date : 2022.11.21
