The work of the SDF Research Team builds on a clear understanding that three, closely interrelated issues are most critical in discussions and deliberations on the future of Korean society, and most demanding of our attention: climate risk, generational inequalities - the intra - generational inequalities that alienate young people from each other as well as the inter-generational inequalities that alienate them from their elders - and regional disparities. The SDF2021 Research Team Session takes a probing look at the multitude of challenges that young people in Korea face today and offers a fresh take on potential solutions.
