CFI2030 CFI2030
In accordance with its Carbon-Free Island 2030 Project, Jeju Island is committed to fulfilling all of its energy needs using renewable energy sources by 2030.
About 75% of transportation vehicles will be replaced by electric vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve energy self-sufficiency in response to the new climate system.
Leadership in citywide electric vehicle implementation and the strong winds reflecting the island’s natural environment are the biggest resources that Jeju Island has in terms of the green energy industry.
In addition, Jeju is well positioned to adopt new technologies and initiate resident-led projects, which makes the island a leader in global initiatives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The journey of Jeju Island towards being a world-class green growth model is full of new business opportunities.
