About SFOC
Our Journey towards a clean and healthy world
Who we are
2016
Our story began in 2016 with the ambition to advocate for evidence-based solutions and catalyze climate action in South Korea.
2021
We started a nationwide network of civil society organizations to phase out coal in South Korea. This coalition ultimately helped end the country's public financing of overseas coal projects in 2021.
Change is upon us, but it must happen faster.
This is why SFOC is committed to holding polluters accountable and joining forces with the global climate movement to tackle the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions and advocate for systemic change.
How we work
SFOC is here to create winning climate movements.
We leverage research, litigation, diplomacy, community organizing, and strategic communications to deliver practical climate solutions and build movements for change.
Forming strategic partnerships
Addressing a global issue requires a global approach. We work with climate organizations from around the world to leverage our collective expertise and strengthen our push for change.
Growing the climate movement
We believe one of the most impactful ways to drive change is to create more changemakers. We recruit people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to join the climate movement.
