SEOUL, Oct 27 — South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck Soo said Thursday that South Korea will increase its funding to help developing nations mitigate the impacts of climate change.
South Korea "will strongly support developing nations' efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and respond to climate change," Han told a conference on sustainable dialogue in the Pan-Pacific region, Yonhap news agency reported.
Han said South Korea will increase its overseas aid on climate finance and expand its funding for the Green Climate Fund, an international organisation on fighting climate change.
Han also emphasised that the world must have a united front for a "green recovery" that guarantees sustainability and resilience.
South Korea will share its experience and technology with developing nations to help them shift to a low-carbon economy and develop renewable energy sources, Han said.
