S. Korea assumes co-chairship of International Climate Councils Network working group

Seoul, August 10 -- The Presidential Commission on Climate Crisis Response of South Korea has taken on the co-chairship of the International Climate Councils Network's (ICCN) Climate Governance Working Group, officials announced on Monday. This marks the first time an Asian nation assumes this role within the working group. Kang Yoon-ho, a director at the commission, officially began his term as co-chair alongside Ross Linden-Fraser, who represents the Canadian Climate Institute.

South Korea's involvement underscores its growing prominence in international climate governance discussions. While the duration of the co-chair position is not explicitly defined, the ICCN typically renews the term annually, making this a potentially recurring commitment for the commission.
