The 2030 Busan World Expo will serve as a “Solution Platform,” addressing both immediate challenges faced by individual nations as well as global issues through the “Busan Initiative.”
Since 2014, the International Conference has been held annually to support the bid for hosting the World Expo in BUSAN. Marking its 10th anniversary, the international conference for attracting the 2030 World Expo to BUSAN will present a challenge centered around the climate change crisis. This challenge invites global youth, who will play a pivotal role in 2030, to assemble, contemplate, and propose innovative and practical solutions.
