The Korean Ministry of Environment (MoE) is a governmental body responsible for safeguarding South Korea's environment and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens. Its responsibilities include environmental protection, conservation, water management, waste management, and air quality. The MoE contributes to space-related activities through its National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER), which developed the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS). GEMS, launched in 2020 aboard the GEO-KOMPSAT-2B satellite, monitors air quality and climate change over East and Southeast Asia, making the MoE a key player in global air quality monitoring.
