소극적이었던 환경에 대한 관심이 1992년 리오데 자네이로에서 개최된 유엔환경개발회의 (UNCED)에서 유엔기후변화협약(UNFCCC)으로 채택되고, 이후 1997년 교토의정서에 의해 선진국들은 의무적으로 자국의 온실가스를 감소해 오고 있다. 교토의정서 채택 당시 우리나라는 개도국으로 분류되어 온실가스 감축의무를 면제받았으나 OECD회원국이면서 대량 배출하는 우리나라는 교토의정서 1차 이행기간 (2008~2012)이 끝나는 포스트 교토의정서부터는 감축의무가 부과될 가능성이 높다. 이에 본 논문에서는 포스트 교토의정서에 따라 항만분야에서 야기 될 수 있는 온실가스 배출 구조를 항만하역 활동에 따라 살펴보고 외국 선진 항만의 사례를 통해 국내 항만이 친환경 녹색 항만으로 거듭 날 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study is analyzed based on the statistical data for the effect of Kyoto Protocol which is adopted on 1997. The first greenhouse gas obligation reduction countries such as OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), and the first non-obligated developing countries such as China and India, the increasing rate of carbon dioxide emission displayed -10.2% and 88.1% in 2005 with respect to 1990, respectively. This increasing rate is not only shows statistically significant differences but also shows significant meanings when we consider the global increasing rate of carbon dioxide is 29.1%. Changes in the carbon dioxide emissions are also analyzed based on the time of the adaptation of Kyoto Protocol, time of the publication of the second and third reports of IPCC, and withdrawal of the Kyoto Protocol of the United States. Withdrawal of the Kyoto Protocol of the United States is the most significantly affected to the differences in the carbon dioxide emission rates rather than the adaptation of Kyoto Protocol, international agreement on the greenhouse gas reduction, and belief on the scientific evidence for the reasons for increasing carbon dioxide concentrations. Therefore, acceptance of the post-Kyoto Protocol in the United States is very important in order to success as a climate regime.

As the quantity of goods transported, port industry and inland transport industry have developing still, but almost 80% of inland transport industry consists of ground transport. According to issue "global warming", many regulations and agreements with countries in the world are becoming necessary and it is being fulfilled now. It is sure that Korea will have duty to reduce CO2 emission from 2013. And inland transport have to cut CO2 emission down. Therefore, this paper will address that calculate CO2 emission under route of transportation container at Korea by using O/D analysis. And then, it will predict routes of transportation containers which can reduce CO2 emission.

Recently, international society strongly concerns global green house effect. As a result each nation introduces green policy for their economy and sustainable development. The emissions of carbon dioxide come from various sources, such as ports and port activities. Especially, port is a logistics hub for shipping, road and railways. Therefore, successful reduction of emissions in the port may encourage other transportations to reduce emissions. Korea as developing country is excused from Annex I countries which committed themselves to reduce four greenhouse gases. However, Korea is going to be placed in Annex I countries in 2013. Korean economy is heavily dependent on international trade and especially, 99.8% of its international trade cargoes is transported through the ports. Therefore, Eco-port plays a very important role in future Korean sustainable development. By introducing the most advanced port pollution regulations, Japan has taken a immediate step for Eco-port policy. International trade is very significant in Korea as well as in Japan, both nations have similar industrial structure. Therefore, Korea should pay attention to Japanese Eco-port policy and activities. This paper examines Japanese Eco-port policy and its' implications in order for Korea to find the most efficient way to reduce the emissions as Korea should reduce greenhouse gas emissions in post kyoto system.
