Started in 2000, it is the most prestigious award in the field of urban policy in Korea. Haenam-gun was honored with the award for two consecutive years, following last year. The City Awards evaluate urban sustainability reflecting trends such as aging, multiculturalism, and green growth, the creation of livable cities led by local governments and residents, and urban policy projects that consider changes in Korea’s urban planning conditions and global urban planning trends.

Haenam-gun received high scores in the Excellent Policies for Climate Change and Energy Transition category by actively promoting various projects such as sustainable urban policy projects through the spread of Haenam-type ESG to overcome the climate crisis and achieve energy transition, the establishment of a climate change response agricultural cluster linked with a renewable energy integration complex in the RE100 industrial complex, and the operation of a resource circulation complex center.

A county official said, “The promotion of sustainable urban policies has yielded good results, culminating in winning the Korea City Awards for two consecutive years. We will continue to strive to make Haenam-gun a safe and comfortable city where no resident is left behind and everyone can enjoy together.”
