The Sustainable Wave Festival is launching at Incheon Munhak Stadium with the goal of becoming South Korea's first carbon neutral music event. The project focuses on integrating eco friendly operating systems and sustainability into stage production and programming. Organizers aim to use the event to raise public awareness about the climate crisis and establish a new model for the domestic performance industry to practice social responsibility.

The term carbon neutrality is used here as a slogan. I would be interested to see the actual accounting method. Are they measuring Scope 3 emissions from attendee travel, or just the electricity for the stage?
Exactly. Most of these events just buy cheap offsets to claim neutrality. I want to know if they are using onsite renewables or temporary battery storage to run the rigs instead of diesel generators.
Interesting concept for the K-pop scene, but the article is light on specifics. It mentions eco friendly operating systems without explaining what they actually are. Hope they publish a transparency report after the event.
