4월28일부터 브라질에서 개최된 COPANT 총회에 참가하여 생산적인 한 주를 보냈습니다. 3일 간의 행사에 참여할 수 있어 감사했습니다. ISO - International Organization for Standardization회장으로서 실시한 기조 연설을 통해 ISO의 기후공약을 다시 한번 강조했습니다. ISO의 기후공약은 에너지, 운송, 건축, 건설과 같은 주요 부문의 표준을 개발할 때, 기후 관련 고려사항을 반영하는 것을 목표로 합니다. 더불어 다음과 같은 ISO의 지속적인 노력을 강조했습니다. ✅ UN SDG를 지원하는 표준을 개발함으로써 경제, 사회, 환경에서의 지속가능성 실현을 주도합니다. ✅ 개발도상국의 표준화 참여 확대와 지식 교류 및 혁신을 촉진합니다. 성공적인 행사를 위해 애써주신 COPANT와 총회를 주최한 ABNT - Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas에 진심으로 감사드립니다. What a productive week at COPANT General Assembly! I was grateful for the opportunity to engage in this 3-day event. During my keynote address as ISO - International Organization for Standardization President, I highlighted ISO's climate commitment, which aims to embed climate considerations into the development of standards across key sectors such as energy, transport, and building and construction. I also emphasized ISO's ongoing efforts in: ✅ Developing standards that support the UN SDGs, driving progress in economic, social, and environmental sustainability. ✅ Facilitating increased participation of developing countries in standardization, fostering knowledge exchange and innovation. Heartfelt thanks to COPANT and our hosts for the General Assembly, ABNT - Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas, for a successful event! #ClimateStandards
