A seminar gathering environment experts and artists will be held on July 22, the U.N. Environment Program National Committee for the Republic of Korea said Wednesday.

The event, being held at Seoul City Hall, is jointly hosted by the Canadian Embassy in Korea and Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Among the noted participants include Yoon Ho-seob, an honorary professor at Kookmin University renowned for his environment-friendly designs, architecture professor Henry Tsang of Keimyung University and Joan Marie Galat, a best-selling author in Canada. They will share their stories on how environment has inspired their works and how to coexist.

Other sessions include drawing on T-shirts using environment-friendly paints and a photo exhibition.

“The entire world is working on preventing climate change upon the Paris agreement last year. Climate change is not a problem of a specific country or an organization but of all human kind. It is hoped that this seminar will bring a chance for the citizens to change their perception toward the environment,” said Kim Jae-bum, secretary-general of the UNEP National Committee for Korea.

To attend, registration can be made at www.unep.or.kr. The first 100 applicants will receive special gifts. For more information, call UNEP National Committee for Korea at (02) 720-1011.
