South Korea has softened the climate targets for the industrial sector. The industry now only has to cut its emissions by 11.4 percent by 2030 compared to 2018. The previous target was 14.5 percent, according to Reuters. This softening was justified by more realistic assumptions about „domestic conditions“ such as the supply of raw materials and „technology prospects“.
