Not only countries but also the regions within them now need to proactively think about and respond to the opportunities and risk factors that follow from changes in the world to achieve sustainable growth. Jeju has been making considerable efforts and transforming itself in order to proactively respond to changes and to move forward as a “global Jeju.” In promoting the competitiveness of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries through combining its clean resources and primary produce with state-of-the-art technologies, and also increasing the number of direct flights from major cities, Jeju can become a tourist destination for the world. Jeju can also be developed into a model city of environmental and green growth for the world. By utilizing its clean resources, Jeju can develop the state-of-the-art renewable energy industry as an engine of future growth. As more and more issues require the cooperation of the international community and its collective response, Jeju can play an active role as a locus where such international discussions can be held and also as a hub of international exchange and cooperation. The newly launched International Council for Jeju will offer diverse opinions on the future of Jeju.
