Korea Federation for Environmental Movements
The Korea Federation for Environmental Movements (KFEM) is the largest environmental NGO in South Korea. The group was founded in April 1993 as a federation of eight environmental groups, the largest being the Korean Anti-Pollution Movement Association. KFEM’s work includes campaigns and advocacy, research projects, and conservation work. Their past projects have included stopping harmful construction such as a proposed nuclear waste dump on Gureop Island, a dam construction on the Dong River, and a golf course in the Gaya Mountain National Park.
A 2023 grant from the Cultures of Resistance Network and a 2022 grant from our sister organization, the L/G Foundation, supported an awareness campaign promoting South Korea’s transition to renewable energy sources without the expanded use of nuclear power.
