LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
Dear all who deeply care about our planet,
My name is Minju Chung, and it is my honor to welcome you to Carbon Zero Together (C02gether). Whether you are a long-time climate advocate or just beginning to explore climate action, thank you for your interest in our club.
Our club was born out of a need: the need to replace empty climate promises with bold, immediate steps to make the world a more sustainable place for all. In an era of globalization, where domestic and international policies shape our interconnected world, climate action is no longer just about protests but about policy influence, systemic change, and collaborative solutions. Guided by justice and focused on the future generations, we fight for the net-zero future by spreading news about innovative climate technologies and nations' climate goals and policies across the world.
At C02gether, we believe informed advocacy, community engagement, and youth leadership are essential to driving real change. Through newsletters, meaningful dialogue with policymakers and stakeholders, and hands-on climate projects, we aim to amplify youth voices. Join us in our journey toward a sustainable, net-zero future in Korea, China and the larger world.
VISION
C02gether envisions a world that achieves net zero, and wishes to contribute to Korea's progress in achieving its 2050 net zero goal through youth climate advocacy. Our most ambitious goal is to submit a petition advocating for policy changes in Korea's currently weak and underdeveloped Emission Trading System, which we strongly believe would play a substantial role in accomplishing carbon neutrality.
MISSION
Together with passionate and inspiring young climate leaders, we aim to undo the climate crisis and build a more sustainable and equitable world for all, particularly for those who are disproportionately impacted by climate change. Through networking and policy influence, we pursue climate advocacy that accelerates Korea's progress in achieving carbon neutrality, hoping to make a concrete path to net zero for the future generations to come.
