Who we are

Certain historical moments reveal providence masquerading as coincidence. In 2019, Jemin, Eojin, and Jinyoung fortuitously met at the Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Berlin, Germany. Each of them had a background in political science and experience working in civil society organizations, parliaments, and political parties. 


Recognizing the urgent need for green politics to protect our planet and secure our future, we founded the Green Politics Institute in 2024. We believe this endeavor as another instance of providence in disguise.
