지구온난화현상은 1980년대 들어서 급격한 기후의 변화와 이상난동 등의 기상이변이 발생하면서 세계적인 관심사로 대두되었다 전 지구적으로 온실가스의 배출량은 증가하고 있어, 이를 대처하기 위하여 1992년 브라질 리우에서 개최된 UN환경개발회의에서 기후변화협약을 체결하게 되었고, 특히 1997년 12월에는 일본의 교토에서 개최된 제3차 기후변화협약 당사국총회에서 선진국들은 1990년을 기준으로 2008 - 2012년간 온실가스를 평균 5.2％ 감축하도록 하는 교토선언을 결정하였다. (중략)

온실가스 감축 의무를 규정한 쿄토의정서의 발효 여부를 결정지을 기후변화협약 제9차 당사국회의(cop9)가 12월 1일부터 12일까지 이탈리아 밀라노에서 개최되고 있다. 기후변화협약은 지구온난화 현상과 기상이변을 일으키는 온실가스를 지난 1990년 수준에서 더 이상 늘리지 않기로 한 국제협약이다. 기후변화협약은 지난 1992년 6월 '리우환경회의'에서 채택돼 각국 비준을 거쳐 1994년부터 발효됐다. 하지만 기후변화협약은 강제성이 없어서 어느 나라도 이산화탄소를 줄이는 조치를 적극적으로 취하지 않았다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 1997년에 마련된 '쿄토의정서'가 채택되었다. 이에 의하면 선진 38개국들은 2008~2012년 사이에 1990년 발생량보다 평균 5.2%를 더 줄이기로 합의하고 세계 온실가스 배출량의 55%의 비준을 의정서 발효조건으로 규정하였다. 그러나 이산화탄소 최대 배출국인 미국이 2001년에 탈퇴를 선언하고, 배출량의 17.4%를 차지하는 러시아도 최근 비준 거부의사를 밝히고 있어 쿄토의정서의 발효는 사실상 어려워진 상태이다. 쿄토의정서가 발효되지 않고 폐기되더라도 기후변화 협약은 유효하기 때문에 새로운 의정서 논의가 제기될 전망이며, 세계 9위의 온실가스 배출국인 우리나라에 대한 온실가스 감축의무 부담요구는 가중될 전망이다. 다시 관심의 초점으로 떠오르는 기후변화협약에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 산업자원부가 발표한 자료를 게재 하였다.<편집자 주>

The purpose of this study is to analyze the major issues discussed among Parties and provide a framework for predicting the agreements on those issues, prior to the final negotiation on a new legally-binding agreement on climate change adaptation in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The analyses of documents, adaptation actions, and work of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) under the UNFCCC informed that the adaptation issue has primarily been focused on the support of developed country Parties for the adaptation of developing country Parties following the principle of the Convention, Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC). Three-year work of the ADP acknowledged the major issues on adaptation in the new climate agreement, which would be categorized as long-term and global aspects, commitments/contributions/actions, monitoring and evaluation, institutional arrangements, and loss and damage. A final agreement on each issue could be predicted by setting a zone of possible agreement in-between the two extremes of developing and developed country Parties and considering three major elements affecting the Parties' positions, national priority, adaptation action, and social expectation, which are proposed in this study. The three major elements should be considered in a balanced manner by Parties to draw a durable agreement that will enhance global adaptation actions from a long-term perspective. That is, the agreement needs to reflect adaptation actions occurring outside the Convention as well as social expectations for adaptation. It is expected that the new agreement on climate change adaptation, from a long-term and global perspective, would be an opportunity to reduce vulnerability and build resilience to climate change by incorporating global expectations.

지구 대기 중 온실가스 농도와 지구의 지표 온도가 매년 증가하고 있으며 21세기에는 기후변화의 가속도가 훨씬 심해질 것으로 전망되고 있다. 산업혁명 이후부터 급격하게 늘어난 온실가스의 영향으로 기후변화가 일어나고 있다는 것은 새삼스러운 이슈가 아니며, 어느 한 지역에 그치는 것이 아니라 지구환경적 문제이기 때문에 모든 국가의 공동 대책 수립이 불가피하다는 논의가 진행된 지 오래다. 지난 1992년 브라질에서 열린 '리우환경회의'에서 본격적으로 지구온난화 방안을 논의한 이래, 1997년 일본에서 '교토의정서' 채택에 관한 회의가 열렸으며, 매년 협약이행 당사국 총회를 개최해 오고 있다. 범지구적 구속력을 갖는 '교토의정서'의 탄소배출 협의내용은 2012년까지 효력을 갖는데 우리나라는 의무대상국이 아니었지만 앞으로 열릴 회의를 통해 어떤 형태로든 의무감축 대상국이 될 공산이 크다. 우리나라도 국회에 계류 중인 '녹색성장기본법'이 통과되면 탄소감축이 본격적으로 시행될 예정이며 현재 시범실시중인 탄소배출권 거래제도 구체화될 계획이다. 이번호에서는 국제 탄소배출권 논의에 대한 전반적인 사항과 이와 관련한 우리나라 정책 및 현황 등을 점검해보고 기업 및 가정에서 실행할 수 있는 대책 등에 대해 알아본다.

In recent years, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction has become high priority issue in international aviation. GHG emissions from the aviation sector only accounts for approximately 2 percent of total GHG emissions in the world. However, as with GHG gases in other sectors, it has been pointed out as a contributing factor to global warming and there is an ongoing conversation in the aviation community to establish international framework for emissions reductions. In the case of international aviation, effects of aviation activities of a State go beyond the airports and airspace of that State. This makes compiling of GHG emissions data very difficult. There are also other legal and technical issues, namely the principle of “Common but Differentiated Responsibility (CBDR)” under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and “Fair Opportunity” principle of the Chicago Convention. For all these reason, it is expected that it will not be an easy job to establish an internationally agreed mechanism for reducing emissions in spite of continuing collaboration among States. UN adopted the UNFCCC in 1990 and the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to impose common but differentiated responsibility on emissions reductions. In international aviation, ICAO has been taking the lead in measures for the aviation sector. In this role, ICAO held the High-level Meeting on International Aviation and Climate Change on 7 to 9 October 2009 at its Headquarters in Montreal and endorsed recommendations on reducing GHG from international aviation which will also be reported to the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15). Key items include basic principle in global aviation emissions reduction: aspirational goals and implementation options: strategies and measures to achieve goals: means to measure and monitor the implementation; and financial and human resources. It is very likely that the Republic of Korea will be included among the Parties subject to mandatory limitation or reduction of GHG emissions after 2013. Therefore, it is necessary for Korea to thoroughly analyze ICAO measures to develop comprehensive measures for reducing aviation emissions and to take proactive actions to prepare for future discussions on critical issues after COP15.

World Wide Views (WWViews) on Climate and Energy was an experiment of public deliberation which was held in 77 countries with over 10,000 global citizens on June 6, 2015. The coordinator of this project (the Danish Board of Technology with Missions Publiques and the French National Commission for Public Debate) developed the overal procedure, and local partners implemented the actual events in each country on the same day. The coordinator gathered the results of the events from all local sites in order to submit them as global citizens' voice to the COP21 negotiations at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris. This study examines the extent to which such new method of WWViews, standardized at global level to be implemented in different local contexts, achieves its quality of public deliberation (representativeness, transparency, impartial inclusion, deliberativeness, influence) by evaluating the Korean WWViews held in Seoul.

Carbon dioxide, emitted by human activities since the industrial revolution, is regarded as a major contributor of global warming. There are many efforts to mitigate climate change, and carbon dioxide capture and geological storage (CCS) is recognized as one of key technologies because it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from large point sources such as a power station or other industrial installation. The inclusion of CCS as clean development mechanism (CDM) project activities has been considered at UNFCCC as financial incentive mechanisms for those developing countries that may wish to deploy the CCS. Although the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the UNFCCC's Kyoto Protocol (CMP), at Cancun in December 2010, decided that CCS is eligible as CDM project activities, the issues identified in decision 2/CMP.5 should be addressed and resolved in a satisfactory manner. Major issues regarding modalities and procedure are 1) Site selection, 2) Monitoring, 3) Modeling, 4) Boundaries, 5) Seepage Measuring and Accounting, 6) Trans-Boundary Effects, 7) Accounting of Associated Project Emissions (Leakage), 8) Risk and Safety Assessment, and 9) Liability Under the CDM Scheme. The CMP, by its decision 7/CMP.6, invited Parties to submit their views to the secretariat of Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), SBSTA prepared a draft modalities and procedure by exchanging views of Parties through workshop held in Abu Dhabi, UAE (September 2011). The 7th CMP (Durban, December 2011) finally adopted the modalities and procedures for CCS as CDM project activities (CMP[2011], Decision-/CMP.7). The inclusion of CCS as CDM project activities means that CCS is officially accredited as one of $CO_2$ reducing technologies in global carbon market. Consequently, it will affect relevant technologies and industry as well as law and policy in Korea and aboard countries. This paper presents a progress made on discussion and challenges regarding the issue, and aims to suggest some considerations to policy makers in Korea in order to demonstrate and deploy the CCS project in the near future. According to the adopted modalities and procedures for CCS as CDM project activities, it is possible to implement relevant CCS projects in Non-Annex I countries, including Korea, as long as legal and regulatory frameworks are established. Though Korea enacted 'Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth', the details are too inadequate to content the requirements of modalities and procedures for CCS as CDM project. Therefore, it is required not only to amend the existing laws related with capture, transport, and storage of $CO_2$ for paving the way of an prompt deployment of CCS CDM activities in Korea as a short-term approach, but also to establish the united framework as a long-term approach.
