December 4, 2024 (Seoul) - On December 3rd, South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol unexpectedly declared emergency martial law, which was shortly thereafter rescinded following unanimous rejection by the National Assembly.
Joojin Kim, CEO of Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC) said:
"As a nonpartisan civil society organization, Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC) strongly condemns this unconstitutional action and highlights its grave implications for South Korea’s climate movement, which can only succeed in a society that upholds democratic values. We remain committed to tackling the climate crisis, which poses a significant threat to the freedom and safety of our society."
