[기자회견문] 헌법과 민심의 요구, 기후정의 입각한 탄소중립기본법 즉각 개정하라
Summary
The statement calls for the South Korean National Assembly to urgently amend the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality following a Constitutional Court ruling that the existing law violates the environmental rights of future generations. It criticizes the government and the People Power Party for delaying the process despite public support for stronger targets and warns that such delays exacerbate vulnerabilities for women, workers, farmers, and the urban poor.
Key insights
- In August 2024, the Constitutional Court ruled that the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality is unconstitutional because it 'violates the environmental rights of future generations,' ordering the National Assembly to amend the law by February of the following year.
- The amendment process is being obstructed by the People Power Party, citing concerns over biased public deliberation and increased industrial burdens, and by the government, which claims a lack of international standards for carbon budgets and ongoing inter-ministerial consultations.
- Delays in legal amendments are framed as a setback for climate justice, increasing risks for vulnerable groups including women, laborers, farmers, fishers, the elderly, and the urban poor who face heat-related illnesses and unequal disaster impacts.
