Kim Tae-hoon, deputy director of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), will discuss the "Current Status of Global Voluntary Carbon Market Initiatives and Linkage with International Reduction Projects."
Following the presentations, a discussion will be moderated by Oh Dae-kyun, director of the National Green Technology Institute, featuring government representatives, business leaders, financial institutions, and relevant experts. Participants will include Ha Sang-seon, deputy representative of EcoEye, Park Du-byeong, CEO of Thanks Carbon, Lee Chung-guk, director of the Korea Climate Change Institute, Yoo In-sik, manager at IBK Industrial Bank, Kim Hong-ik, commissioner of the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation, and Choi Han-chang, section chief at the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment.
