Climate technology is a compound word of climate and technology, which refers to all innovative technologies that contribute to greenhouse gas mitigation and climate adaptation while generating profits.
Currently, about $50 billion (60 trillion won) of climate tech funds are invested worldwide a year, and investment is rapidly expanding every year despite difficult economic conditions such as Corona Pandemic, and all countries are speeding up their investment in climate tech centered on global investment funds such as BlackRock.
In particular, major countries such as the EU, the United States, and China are making large-scale investments to foster the climate technology sector as a new growth engine, so if Korea lags behind this situation, it is time for active support at the government level.
After listening to the opinions of the participants, Prime Minister Han said, “Competition between countries to preoccupy the climate tech market is already fierce, with about 60 trillion won invested in climate tech companies last year,” adding, “But it’s a pity that companies with these innovative technologies have many difficulties.”
Climate technology is a field with enough potential for Korea to lead the global market, and we need bold and clear climate technology development measures before it is too late, he said. “The government will quickly review and reflect voices and suggestions from the site.”
