MSIT will support the overseas demonstration and dissemination of Korea’s advanced public climate technologies, while GGGI will contribute by identifying local technology needs and ensuring on-the-ground feasibility in its member countries. The MoU is expected to strengthen Korea’s leadership in climate technology and promote the global uptake of Korean innovations.

Minister Yoo stated, “This MoU marks a significant first step toward advancing concrete and impactful cooperation with GGGI under our shared vision of science and technology-based climate action. We will continue to work closely with global partners to expand the international outreach of Korea’s public climate technologies.”
