It, accordingly, is an unique joy for the city of Seoul to tune in this worldwide systems administration opportunity and impart our own particular involvement in doing eco-accommodating vitality arrangements and exertions to construct a superior and healthier world.

The city of Seoul has as of late won the 2014 C40 & Siemens City Climate Leadership Award in the Green Energy class for its “Make Seoul a City of Sunlight” undertaking. This prestigious worldwide distinguishment of our sun oriented vitality venture is all the more genuine in light of developing worldwide concerns over the utilization of atomic vitality and the increment of nursery gas outflows.

Notwithstanding vitality lessening, the task has helped Seoul nationals create vitality preservation rehearses in their day by day lives.

The second esteem is “vitality offering.” By imparting vitality to the socially minimized and making a vitality legacy that is practical for some eras, we are reinforcing group solidarity.

The third esteem is “vitality cooperation.” Through an open administration framework, we guarantee the investment of all nationals in the entire procedure including vitality, from strategy wanting to usage. We have seen what our subjects are equipped for amid the first period of the “One Less Nuclear Power Plant” venture.

The city of Seoul is currently changing itself from being a vitality shopper to maker. With the cooperation of its 10 million inhabitants, Seoul will keep advancing into a city that is sunlight based controlled, ecologically cordial, and vitality independent. This try will develop our civil limits to each corner of Korea and, with gifts and warm backing from a large portion of the members of this discussion, in the long run to each city on the planet.

The city of Seoul will be in the cutting edge of this imperative reason, and in the interest of all Seoulites, I solicit all the subjects from the world to go along with us.
