The two-day summit, which takes place in Antalya on Wednesday and Thursday as part of the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), is expected to bring together leaders and senior officials from more than 80 countries.
The gathering will give participating countries an opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to fighting climate change, strengthen international cooperation and build momentum for putting climate pledges into action.
During the summit, Kang plans to highlight the South Korean government's commitment to playing a greater role in global efforts to address climate change. She will also outline the country's plans to cut carbon emissions and call for broader international participation in efforts to implement the Paris Agreement, which aims to substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the ministry, Kang will also attend several events on the sidelines of the summit on climate resilience and energy cooperation. She will explore ways to strengthen collaboration with other countries on early warning systems for natural disasters, the transition to cleaner energy and related issues.
