President Lee Jae-myung urged citizens on June 5 to engage in everyday climate actions for a sustainable South Korea.

On social media, President Lee noted that the 'Korea Climate Action Launch Ceremony' is being held in observance of Environment Day. He emphasized the importance of collaboration among religious groups, industries, civil society, and the government in addressing the climate crisis.

"Simple actions, such as reducing the use of disposable products, turning off unused lights, walking or using public transportation for short distances, and using reusable bags, can collectively become a powerful force for changing the future," he stated.

He also promised that the government would strive to create tangible changes that citizens can feel.

In a related note, President Lee shared an article highlighting the police's efforts over the past year to combat voice phishing, which resulted in a nearly 43% reduction in incidents. He expressed gratitude for the hard work of public servants, stating, "When public officials work hard, the people become happier. I thank those who are dedicated to their jobs, and I encourage everyone to recognize their efforts."
