The forum aims to map out new initiatives to ensure environmental sustainability, which is part of the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals.

Climate change, emission reduction, mobilizing governments and the post-carbon era were some of the key agenda items on the table. Reflecting those themes, a Korean expert at the forum emphasized the need for a carbon-free society. He said the preparations for that could be carried out by ending fossil-fuel subsidies and for developed countries to follow through on their promise to help less-developed countries transform their energy systems. "Associate with those fossil fuel subsidies are the interest groups with vested interests in the continuation of the subsidies so there has been a political resistance in the interest of achieving necessary gobal emission reductions developed countries will have to help them by providing the necessary technology transfers as well as necessary funds." Experts say the key to sustainable development is the creation of a just and resilient post-carbon future. "The forum is the ideal platform for knowledge sharing and providing up-to-date information on environmental themes. The organizers want the forum to contribute a sustainable development plan for Asian and European countries. Ji Myung-kil, Arirang News
