Greenpeace’s South Korean Climate Leader Inspires Youth to Continue to Rise up for Climate Justice in Net Zero Interview
New York, October 3rd, 2022
Studies have shown that youth can increase the older generations’ level of concern about critical global issues. Parents and government leaders are paying more attention to what their children think about the world’s most pressing issue - climate change. #Climate change spawned a generation of youth activists, and South Korean youth are no different. In the latest Net Zero production, Youth Climate Activist Cherry Sung interviews Greenpeace’s Climate and Energy Campaigner Justin Jeong, who is leading a climate suffrage project to ensure the South Korean government responds rapidly to the climate crisis. How important is the role of youth in raising awareness to get South Korea’s Green New Deal realized?
“Future generations will be more affected by the greenhouse gasses emitted by the older generations”, states Jeong. Greenpeace has been working in solidarity with youth and youth groups. The more youth, the victims, raise their voices, the more the older generation, the perpetrators, will feel responsible.
The Protect our Planet Movement in association with Planet Classroom has launched the acclaimed Net Zero video and podcast series in which 24 youth climate activists from the Protect Our Planet (POP) Movement in association with Planet Classroom ask international thought leaders working on the environment the big questions as to how their nations are progressing towards their 2050 Net Zero pledges.
