On May 27, 2021, the ECCK organized the ‘EU Climate Action’s EU-KO Business Webinar to Achieve 2050 Climate Neutrality’ with the Korea Business Council on Sustainable Development (KBCSD), EU-Korea Climate Action, and Yulchon LLC. Throughout the webinar, the recent climate policies of the EU and Korea were shared and business strategies and cooperation for decarbonization were explored.
