He said that South Korea has been very successful in catching the corona virus epidemic and now the country plans to tackle climate change after defeating COVID-19. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in the announcement on Thursday that no new cases have been revealed in the Republic of Korea (the country’s official name).

He said, South Korea has overcome the epidemic as well as plans for a very ambitious green deal, including a ban on new coal-fired plants and a reduction in emissions from existing coal-based plants. “We hope that this example of the Republic of Korea will be followed by many other countries in the world,” Guterres said at a news conference.
