Governor Yang Seung-jo was invited to The Powering Past Coal Global Summit 2021 as an Asian representative
CHUNGCHENGGNAM-DO: Chungchenggnam-do province, in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula, will achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through close cooperation with local residents, the provincial council, and civic organizations, Governor Yang Seung-jo told an international summit of leaders from national governments, regions and cities, banks and investors, energy majors and grid operators, academia and NGO, youth and health groups.
Governor Yang presented the province’s proactive coal-phaseout policy, noting that Chungcheongnam-do hosts half of the 60 domestic coal-fired power plants, transmits over 60% of electricity generated by these plants to other provinces, and accounts for 22% of the greenhouse gas emissions by Korea.

President Joe Biden can’t expect a lot of cooperation from Texas. That much has been made clear by state Republicans’ behavior in just the past three months. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton led a far-fetched federal lawsuit to overturn Biden’s victory. After that failed, he brought a suit against the new administration’s plan to pause immigration deportations only two days into Biden’s presidency. Just days after that, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order pledging to fight Biden’s climate-change agenda and when a bitter winter storm knocked out the state’s power, Abbott erroneously blamed Democrats and renewable energy for the crisis. For the Republicans who dominate Texas politics, Biden’s honeymoon ended before he had unpacked all his boxes in the White House.

In a news conference on Saturday afternoon, Biden said the members of his climate team – including the interior secretary nominee, Deb Haaland, a congresswoman from New Mexico and member of the Laguna Pueblo tribe – were “brilliant, qualified, tested and … barrier-busting”.
“Today I am pleased to announce a team that will lead my administration’s ambitious plan to address the existential threat of our time: climate change,” Biden said.
