Will #China, #Japan, and #SouthKorea be the first to drop #fossilfuels and transition to #greenshipping?   The new report by Solutions for Our Climate (기후솔루션), compares green shipping competitiveness between South Korea, China, and Japan, finding all maintain a reliance on fossil fuels, especially #LNG, in their decarbonization plans for shipping in the near future.   But a reliance on #fossilfuel based bridge fuels is risky and investment in #RenewableEnergy and #GreenHydrogen is needed.   As these three countries also compete to develop #alternativefuels for shipping, the ability to secure and supply #carbonfree fuel will be a key- not only for #decarbonization but also for national competitiveness.   Download a copy of the report to find out more: https://lnkd.in/gtU254NB   #SFOCReport #NewReport #GreenShipping

📢 BREAKING - Citizen's victory in #Asia's first climate lawsuit! 🔎 Background - Initial petition filed by 19 youths in March 2020. It was later combined with three others holding the Korean government accountable for #climate inaction. - The plaintiffs include over 60 children, such as the world’s youngest plaintiff, a 20-week-old embryo nicknamed ‘Woodpecker’. ⚖ The Verdict Three months after the final public hearing on May 21st the verdict is out – with Article 8.1 of #SouthKorea's Carbon Neutrality Act #unanimously found #unconstitutional for violating citizen's basic rights for not setting any targets from 2031 to 2049. Following the landmark Dutch Urgenda case and the victory of 2,000 elderly Swiss women at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the decision of South Korea’s Constitutional Court's decision to recognize #humanrights violations linked to climate inaction is long overdue, especially as it is the first of its kind in Asia.  Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJgXAiJu #ClimateLawsuit #BreakingNews #ClimateAction

Earlier this month, POSCO and General Motors (GM) were called out by Mighty Earth for #steel related air pollution and health risks in Detroit print media, Sunday Free Press. Residents of Gwangyang, #SouthKorea, suffer from severe health risks due to harmful emissions from POSCO's #coal-based steel production. Without change, thousands could face preventable deaths. GM and POSCO must prioritize #greensteel to protect our environment and community health. #SteelDecarbonization #AutoSupplyChains #GreenSteel #GreenCars

💡 Green Electricity for Everyday Citizens 💪 In today's consumer rights constitutional appeal on #RenewableEnergy procurement, citizens are calling for #GreenElectricity purchase options to be introduced for residential electricity users in #SouthKorea 📢   🔎 Research shows that consumers have a willingness to pay extra 💲 for green electricity.   ❗ However, under South Korea’s current legislation, average households are effectively blocked from renewable energy procurement options due to the absence of suitable mechanisms, such as #PowerPurchaseAgreements (PPAs).   While companies can utilize various mechanisms under the Korean RE100 scheme, such as PPAs and certificate purchases, residential consumers are left with limited options mismatched to an average city lifestyle, like setting up solar panels in their homes.   The constitutional challenge, which included an action hosted by Consumer Climate Action and Solutions for Our Climate (기후솔루션), calls for the urgent revision of regulations that unfairly limit the consumer rights of citizens to purchase green electricity for their households.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gMcutmtu   #ConstitutionalChallenge #ConsumerRights #EnergyDay2024
