Hosted and organized by Hwaseong Special City and the Hwaseong Environmental Foundation, the event was held under the theme "Hwaseong, the Right Timing to Protect the Environment Is Now." It featured a ceremony commemorating Environment Day, an awards ceremony for an environmental photo and video contest, environmental experience and promotional booths, cultural performances, and various other programs.

In his congratulatory remarks, Chairman Bae Jeongsu mentioned this year's World Environment Day theme, "Climate Action," stating, "The Earth is constantly sending out warning signals through heat waves, heavy rainfall, droughts, and wildfires," and added, "Responding to these warnings begins right in our daily lives."

He further emphasized, "Protecting Hwaseong's precious natural resources, such as the West Coast tidal flats and Bibong Wetland Park, is not a grand task, but rather something achieved through small, everyday actions that are mindful of the environment."

He also stated, "There is no environment without people. Environmental destruction starts with people, but restoring the environment is also the work of people." He continued, "In the face of the climate crisis, the most dangerous attitude is indifference, but the most powerful hope comes from action."

The Hwaseong Special City Council plans to continue its legislative activities to promote carbon neutrality in daily life and to preserve the natural environment of Hwaseong.
