Economy Atlas in Korean 2025

Atlas
The way we produce and consume must change. The unchecked climate crisis, dwindling resources, environmental pollution, and loss of biodiversity demand a transition that places sustainability and social responsibility at the forefront of businesses, banks, and trade. Additionally, new regulatory policies are needed to curb waste and modernize infrastructure. Heinrich Böll Foundation’s Economic Atlas 2025 (Korean Ver.) not only highlights the essential measures for this transition but also offers a fundamental perspective on the history and diversity of economic activity.

Pesticide Atlas Korean Edition (English version)

Atlas
South Korea's use of pesticides began with its forced conversion to the Japanese agricultural regime during Japanese occupation in the early 20th Century. Behind rapid industrialisation in the post-1960s, were problems of environmental pollution and pesticide poisoning due to the world's highest pesticide use. With authorities leaving control to agrochemical companies, and the companies only interested in selling pesticides, a pesticide policy for nature and people is a long way off.

Energy Atlas Korean Edition (English version)

Atlas
South Korea is ranked 17th in the world for cumulative greenhouse gas emissions, most of which come from the energy sector. The country’s policies for energy transition away from fossil fuels and nuclear power began with the expansion of participatory renewable energy. However, the new government has taken a step backwards from previous policies that aspired to a sustainable and carbon-neutral society.

Plastic Atlas Japan Special Edition (6 pages in English)

Article
Japan has the second highest plastic management index (PMI) in the world, thanks to its advanced waste management system and high levels of local cooperation. On the other hand, Japan’s per capita plastic consumption is also quite high. Innovative policies, strategies, and action plans are required for Japan to promote the circulation of resources and build a sustainable lifestyle and society.
