Climate Change Response Project Team Successfully Completes ‘Eurasia Climate Avengers 2025 Georgia and Uzbekistan’ Program
- 25.08.18 / 이정민
The Eurasia Climate Avengers, a representative extracurricular program of the Climate Change Response Project Team at Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung-ryul), successfully completed an 8-night, 9-day field trip to Georgia and Uzbekistan this year. Held from July 1 to 7, the program was themed “On-site Exploration of Climate Crises in Georgia and Uzbekistan” and focused on case studies of climate change response and energy transition in the two countries. Selected students were divided into teams and engaged in various activities, including visiting universities related to climate change, interacting with students, visiting climate-related institutions or organizations, environmental groups, and investigating ESG activities of companies.
The program was designed to allow participants to directly observe and hear how various stakeholders, including government agencies, international organizations, companies, and universities, are responding to the climate crisis in Georgia and Uzbekistan, two regions with distinct characteristics. In Georgia, the program focused on sites where tradition and the environment intersect, such as land use policies and climate adaptation strategies in the wine industry. In Uzbekistan, the program delved into local responses through case studies of policies combining recovery and transition, such as the restoration of the Aral Sea, ecological environmental policies, and the bioenergy industry.
Students collectively shared their overall impressions, stating, “Despite differing systems and conditions, we felt that common concerns and actions are necessary in addressing the climate crisis.” Meanwhile, as the lead university of the HUSS Environmental Consortium, Kookmin University is collaborating with Deokseong Women's University, Ulsan University, Inha University, and Chosun University under the theme “Coexistence and Symbiosis in the Era of Climate Crisis.” Through interdisciplinary education that breaks down boundaries between universities and disciplines, the consortium is cultivating future-oriented humanities and social science talents equipped with problem-solving capabilities and interdisciplinary thinking.
