Declaration of Low Carbon Green Growth as a National Vision

Korea is the only country in the world to have transformed itself from an aid recipient into a donor country within the span of a single generation. However, Korea does not remain complacent with its spectacular ‘Miracle on the Han River.’ Korea will continue to be forward-looking in its search for new growth engines for the 21st century, as it tackles global climate change and the energy crisis.As a solution, in his address marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Korea in 2008, President Lee Myung-bak declared ‘Low Carbon Green Growth’ as the country’s new vision to lead the country’s development for the next 60 years.
