The North Korean government this year established and completed its 2019-2030 national environment protection and disaster risk reduction strategies, the country’s state media reported on Friday.

The announcement was made by an unnamed North Korean chief delegate at the UN Climate Action Summit 2019 held on Monday, party daily the Rodong Sinmun and the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.

“He said the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea completed the 2019-2030 national environment protection strategy and national disaster risk reduction strategy this year,” the outlets said.

“Struggles have been vigorously waged to realize those plans.”
