Abstract

'Green growth' is the development strategy for the sustainable society through the harmony between the environment and economy. The 'green growth' was defined and accepted by UNESCAP and countries in Asia-Pacific region. OECD also accepted it as their new development policy. 'Green New Deal' was also proposed as a new social/economic policy to response three global crisis: environmental, resources and economic. Social and environmental sustainability are the most important principles of this policy. In Korea, however, the 'green growth' is redefined and used by the government and politicians as an economic policy to support the new technology on energy efficiency and renewable energy. In here, the definitions of green growth in the world and in Korea are analysed and compared, and new term is proposed. Green growth is the development policy to response environmental crisis (ie. climate changes) to transform the society to environmentally and socially sustainable one. The possible contribution of geomorphologic researches to green growth was also proposed.

녹색성장은 2005년 이후 논의가 집중적으로 이뤄진 환경과 경제의 조화를 통한 지속기능사회를 건설하기 위한 전략이다. 녹색성장의 개념은 유엔에 의하여 정립되었으며, 아시아 태평양 국가들과 OECD의 새로운 발전 패러다임으로 수용되었다. 이 개념은 2008년 발생한 지구적인 경제 위기의 와중에서 지속가능한 사회를 지향하는 경기 부양 정책을 의미하는 그린뉴딜로 다시 정의되었다. 이에 반하여 한국의 국가 정책 기조로 채택된 녹색성장은 에너지 효율성을 제고하고 관련 기술을 강화하는 경제 성장의 새로운성장 동력으로서의 녹색을 강조하는 한계점을 지니고 있다. 본 고에서는 해외에서 통용되는 녹색성장의 개념과 한국의 녹색성장의 개념을 비교검토하여 기후변화등 환경의 위기에 대응하고 사회적 환경적 지속가능성을 증진하여 지속가능한 사회를 지향하는 발전 정책으로 정의하였다. 지형학은 자연 재해 등에 대한 기후 변화의 영향에 대한 대비 부분에 상당한 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 특히 재해에 대응하기 위한 지형학도의 작성, 산지 하천의 홍수 관련 연구, 고재해 연구, 해안의 위험성에 대한 연구 등은 시급히 이뤄져야 할 것이다.
