Chairman Kim Joo-hyun of the Financial Services Commission visited a secondary battery recycling company based in Gunsan-si, North Jeolla Province on January 18 and held talks with a group of climate-related businesses on the challenges and strategies of dealing with climate change risks. At the meeting, Chairman Kim said that the country's future growth engine will depend on how appropriately and quickly we deal with the risks posed by climate change. While emphasizing the importance of achieving a carbon neutral society, Chairman Kim said that, in order to make that happen, it is also necessary to supply a significant amount of funds over a long period of time. To this end, Chairman Kim said that the government will work with the banking sector to jointly create a fund to boost facility investment in new renewable energy sources and support the growth of climate-related industries through K-growth fund. Through close cooperation with relevant ministries, Chairman Kim said that the FSC will prepare measures to support climate-related industries.
