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.

IT 업계에도 저탄소 녹색 성장을 추구하는 Green IT 시대가 찾아왔다. 이에 따라 여러 IT 기업들에서 IT 자원을 소유하지 않고 빌려 쓰는 형태의 클라우드 컴퓨팅이 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 기존의 조직이 유지 보수에 사용하던 인력과 비용을 감소시킬 수 있다는 점에서 경제적 이익을 창출하고 있다. 그러나 다수의 이해당사자(Mlti-tenant)가 존재하는 공공 클라우드 환경에서는 사용자의 인증이 보안 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공공 클라우드 환경에서 신뢰할 수 있는 클라우드 서비스를 제공하기 위한 사용자 인증 방법을 제시한다. 사용자는 계약관계로 맺어진 클라우드와 조직사이에서 클라우드 서비스를 제공받으며 조직으로부터 인증 받는다. 클라우드에서는 조직에서 제공하는 인증 정보와 클라우드의 서비스 제공 정책으로 이루어진 보안연계를 통해 사용자를 확인함으로써 사용자에게 적합한 서비스를 제공한다.

In recent years, ESG activities (Environment, Social and Governance) have been paid more and more attention by enterprises and their stakeholders in various countries. China is the largest developing country in the world. The ESG performance of Chinese listed enterprises helps to understand the shortcomings of their sustainable development ability and further enhance the firm value. Moreover, the interaction effect between green innovation investment and ESG activities is of great significance for enterprises to balance the resource allocation between the two factors in the future. Taking listed Chinese manufacturing companies from 2011 to 2020 as an example, this study investigates the influence of ESG activities on financial performance and non-financial performance, and tests the moderating role of green innovation. Our results show that: (1) ESG performance has a negative impact on financial performance; (2) ESG performance has a positive impact on non-financial performance; (3) Green innovation can positively adjust the negative impact of environmental activities on financial performance. However, it will enhance the negative impact of governance activities on financial performance. The interaction effect between green innovation and social activities on corporate financial performance is a substitution effect; (4) With the improvement of green innovation level, the positive impact of ESG overall performance and environmental performance on corporate reputation will also be suppressed.

Recently the technology of green growth became more important role among the problems of running out of fossil fuels and global warming. To procure a new growth power combined with energy and green growth, a lot of investment for wind power, photovoltaics system, fuel cell and biofuel expanded day by day. Among these, wing power has a merit of a highly economic and no discharge of toxic substance. These days government and industrial companies actively support the development of wind power technology with lots of investment, but domestic related education and equipment still stay in research level when it is compared with foreign advanced countries which lead the wind power technology. Therefore to expand the base of basic skill required in the related industrials and to advance technology, we are in the situation to be needed a development of a new curriculum and educational equipment which is analogous with the actual industrial system. In this paper a development of a new educational equipment for the learning of turbine control is introduced. This educational equipment has been developed for students to get easy understanding for the theory of wind turbine control. And finally to demonstrate the effect of the use of the developed equipments and curriculum a questionnaire carried out.

The global recession has made it more difficult for companies to invest in IT, and they are increasingly aware of the environmental costs of so doing. In these circumstances, cloud computing has emerged as a new paradigm in the business IT sector. Governments, institutes and companies around the world, as well as specifically in Korea since 2009, have turned to this model of providing IT resources. This study is concerned to identify those characteristics of cloud computing that affect its introduction on a company's part; it offers a theoretical framework describing cloud services and seeks to establish causal linkages between antecedent factors and a company's introduction and application of this form of IT provision. The features of cloud computing in particular contexts that the study selected for analysis were its scalability, speed, security, potential compatibility with existing services, efficiency, economic feasibility, dependency and credibility. The study thus related these to whether or not cloud computing was adopted, verifying adjustment effects for cloud services. On the basis of a survey of enterprise IT decision-makers, it emerged through a statistical analysis of correlations that cloud computing's efficiency, economic feasibility and credibility had an effect on its introduction. This study's results should be of use to vendors and potential purchasers of cloud computing services. It is one of the first pieces of research on cloud computing from the customer perspective, based on the perceived characteristics of cloud services as they are seen and valued by users.

With a growing concern about climate change and green house gases mitigation, carbon labeling policy has been launched in several countries as an environmental policy which connects low carbon production to low carbon consumption. This research aims to propose a model that explains consumers' attitude and brand loyalty toward carbon labeling products. This model specifies the consumer's psychological processes by which consumer values, such as autonomy and environmental values, affect carbon labeling product and corporate images and finally form brand loyalty toward carbon labeling products. Panel data were collected in two separate surveys and analyzed using a structural equation technique. Results are summarized as follows. First, consumers' autonomy value(AV) positively affects locus of control(LC) and corporate image(CI). Second, consumers' environmental value(EV) positively influences perceived consumer effectiveness(PCE), which in turn has a negative effect on perceived barriers(PB). Perceived barriers finally affect product image(PI) negatively. Third, both corporate image and product image have causal relationships with brand loyalty. Our results suggest that carbon labeling policy contributes not only to the reduction of greenhouse gases but also to the increase of consumers' attitude and brand loyalty toward carbon labeling products. This research also provides governments with directions for efficient environmental policy and firms with guidance on effective marketing strategies about carbon labeling.
