Amid the compound crises of climate change and biodiversity loss,
we explore integrated systemic change grounded in coexistence with nature — from Jeju.
Young participants use AI and data to reinterpret Jeju’s environmental and ecological challenges, developing actionable ideas and initial prototypes for policy, public services and local projects.
Through the changing seas of Jeju and the forests of Hallasan, this documentary explores climate change and the future of the Earth—the only island we can call home.
World Ecology Forum JEJU connects scientific insight, international cooperation and cultural imagination within one framework for ecological transition.
We address climate and biodiversity, economy and law, and local and international action as connected issues, exploring new forms of governance for a shared community.
