According to the analysis of the data submitted by the Presidential Secretariat and 17 metropolitan local governments nationwide, conducted by Representative Shin Chang-sik of the Innovation Party, it was revealed that the representation of youth and women in the Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth by 2050 (hereinafter referred to as the Presidential Commission) and the Local Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth by 2050 (hereinafter referred to as the Local Commission) is significantly low.

The proportion of youth members in the entire Commission was only 3.9%, and the proportion of female members was 30.3% (as of June 30, 2025, including appointed and ex officio members).

The Commission, established in accordance with the Basic Law on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth for responding to the climate crisis (hereinafter referred to as the Carbon Neutrality Law), consists of over 50 members, including two chairpersons, but not exceeding 100 members.

When appointing members, recommendations or opinions should be sought from various social groups such as children, youth, women, workers, farmers, small business owners, and civil society organizations to ensure the representation of each social group is reflected.

The recent amendment to the Carbon Neutrality Law, which has passed through the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee and is pending in the plenary session, includes provisions to reorganize it into a 'Climate Crisis Response Commission' and enhance representation and diversity by including people with disabilities.
