Climate activists in Seoul are demanding that the National Assembly update the Carbon Neutrality Act. The protest follows a Constitutional Court ruling that the existing law fails to provide specific carbon reduction plans for the period between 2031 and 2049. Despite a February 2026 deadline set by the court, the South Korean government has not yet completed the necessary legal revisions. Activists argue that political delays are undermining basic rights and the country's ability to meet long term climate goals.
