Korea has made it official that nuclear energy will be included in the list of government-labeled green economic activities despite opposition from environmental activists.
The environment ministry on Tuesday released a draft revision to the national green taxonomy guideline.
The classification system was first announced in December by the previous Moon Jae-in government as an instrument to promote environmentally sustainable investment and help achieve the national carbon neutrality goal.
Nine months later, the ministry revised the non-binding guideline to add atomic power generation to the green financing bracket.
