Welcoming Remark
Hyun-chul CHO, SJ President, Korea Environmental NGO network
I would like to deliver my sincere greetings of welcome and gratitude to all those who are participating in this conference “Roles of citizens and local governments for environmental cooperation in Northeast Asia”, particularly to those who came from China, Japan, and Taiwan. Personally, I am very happy and honored to be with you on this important occasion. As is well known, ecological issues frequently go beyond the borders of a particular country. Hence it is not enough to “think globally and act locally.” It is necessary to cooperate internationally. Climate change is a typical case which askes for global participation and cooperation. It is also true of the (ultra)fine particles that have recently appeared as a crucial environmental issue. Together with the efforts of Korea, the cooperation of Northeast Asian countries is indispensable in order to deal properly with this issue. International cooperation for environmental issues is eventually pursued in the concrete realities of each local area. And citizens and local governments know the concrete local situation better than a state government. This is the reason why the initiative of NGO’s and local governments are important with regard to ecological issues. This is the reason why international cooperation at a local level must take place vigorously along with efforts at a national level. This is also the reason why we came here today to be together. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, a state government must help NGO’s and local governments play their proper roles, while playing its own role. 2
I would also like to put emphasis on the issue of social inequality involved in ecological issues. Let us take fine particles as an example. Firstly, there is inequality at the individual level. All of us are equally exposed to its harm, but our abilities to deal with it are different from each other. The rich can purify their space by air cleaners, they can stay inside, and they can move safely in their own cars. However, the poor have no such options. They have to go out and work if necessary, however severe the condition of fine particles is. Secondly, there is inequality at the regional level. In Korea the issue of fine particles has come to the fore as they came to affect the Seoul metropolitan area. However, local residents near coal-fired power plants have suffered from fine particles a long, long time ago. Thirdly, there is inequality at the international level. It is important to grasp how much fine particles each country in Northeast Asia produces. However, it is no less important to ask why fine particle are produced, and in the process which countries are beneficiaries and which are victims. As is seen here, there is the issue of inequality, i.e. that of justice in ecological problems. Hence, as Pope Francis mentioned, “every ecological approach needs to incorporate a social perspective which takes into account the fundamental rights of the poor and the underprivileged.” (Laudato Si’, no. 93) Finally, I would mention that the cooperation of citizens and local governments in Northeast Asia contributes to peace-making in this region. Northeast Asian countries are prone to political and military conflicts and tensions. We have seen that it is difficult to resolve tensions and make peace by the efforts of state governments alone. To effectively establish peace, it is necessary first of all to act together. “Doctrine divides, service unites.” This saying, which was originally used in the ecumenical movement, also fits well here. The mutual cooperation of Northeast Asian NGO’s and local governments for ecological issues will contribute to the relief of tensions and the promotion of justice in this region. Considering what I have said up to now, I cannot but express once again my welcome and gratitude from the bottom of my heart. Welcome, and thank you all.
