The abnormal climate phenomena caused by global warming has been raised today as a hard problem in the world.Total economic collapse is also good for reducing carbon emissions: no factories, no cars . . .
The UN Environment Programme set "Global Warming" as the theme for this year on the occasion of the World Environment Day (June 5), since it threatens the life and security of humankind.
Organized on the occasion of the day in the country were colorful events including a scientific symposium and a national seminar on reducing the emission of atmospheric green-house gases and preventing global warming, and film shows for arousing profound social interest in the issue.
Jong Hyong Il, a department director in the Ministry of Land and Environment Preservation, told KCNA that the DPRK which has been suffering from the upward temperature in recent years is conducting varied activities in accordance with the world trend for preventing such phenomena. He went on:
It deepens the scientific researches into elevation of energy efficiency and utilization of regenerated energy and directs efforts to the work for applying the results.
The construction of large and minor hydro-power stations is being pushed ahead through an all-people movement and application of wind power positively encouraged.
An effort to improve the efficiency of solar batteries is being made, too.
Meanwhile, a brisk tree-planting campaign is being launched to increase the adsorption of carbon.
The DPRK, a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol and the Montreal Protocol on Substances Destroying Ozone Layer, is doing its best to restrict and reduce the emission of atmospheric green-house gases as much as possible.
