The aim of this study is to investigate the fashion industry's response to climate change and how these discussions unfolded at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Climate change response projects by B Corp-certified fashion companies are examined, focusing on stakeholder efforts and reviewing online media reports. Text data were collected from web documents, interviews, and op-eds relating to COP28 from December 2018 to April 2024 and analyzed using text mining and semantic network analysis to identify critical keywords and contexts. The analysis revealed that the fashion industry is fulfilling its environmental responsibilities through various strategies, prompting changes in consumer behavior by advocating sustainable consumption, including carbon removal, energy transition, and recycling promotion. Stakeholders in online media and those present at COP28 discussed issues relating to climate change in the fashion industry, focusing on environmental protection, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable material usage, and social responsibility. Key issues at COP28 included policy and regulation, climate change response, energy transition, carbon emissions management, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Additionally, by examining the main collections exhibited at the fashion show during COP28, the study analyzed how messages about climate change were conveyed. Fashion companies communicated the industry's response through exhibitions and fashion shows, suggesting a move toward balancing environmental protection and economic growth through the development of sustainable materials, the expansion of recycling and reuse practices, and the modern reinterpretation of cultural heritage.

Korea has introduced Korea Emissions In 2015, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP21) was held in Paris. The Paris Agreement indicates that all nations are in charge of mitigating climate change. Prior to COP21, 197 Parties submitted the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which are greenhouse gas reduction targets. On June 30, 2015, Korea also submitted an NDC target of 37% reduction compared to BAU in 2030. However, Korea's NDC was evaluated as "Inadequate" by the Climate Action Tracker (CAT). In addition, the domestic environmental group expressed a negative opinion as well. In view of this situation, it is necessary to conduct an objective assessment of quantitative analysis of NDC goals in Korea. The goal of this study is to evaluate NDC of Korea by comparing with those of OECD member countries. For comparative analysis, data such as population, GDP, primary energy supply affecting GHG emissions were obtained from the OECD homepage. The results indicate that emission reduction goal of 37% of Korea was $4^{th}$ highest goal among OECD member countries. If Korea achieves the emission reduction goal, the greenhouse gas emissions per capita in 2030 are $10^{th}$among OECD member countries. The greenhouse gas emissions per GDP are $13^{th}$, and emissions per TOE are $9^{th}$ among OECD member countries. The results show that greenhouse gas intensity of Korea is relatively high among OECD member countries. Therefore, it is needed to continuously endeavor to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the global climate change. This study can be further used as a fundamental document to establish the future greenhouse reduction policy in Korea.

생물다양성협약의 핵심의제인 '유전자원에 대한 접근 및 이로부터 발생하는 이익의 공유(ABS)'에 관한 주요 논의 요소를 도출하고, 우리나라에 미치는 영향과 이를 대응하기 위한 정책방향을 제안하고자 하였다. ABS에 관한 주요 논의 내용은 유전자원의 접근과 유전자원의 이용으로부터 도출되는 이익의 공정하고 균등한 배분에 대한 Bonn 지침'의 법적인 구속력을 발휘할 수 있는 국제레짐(International Regime)의 마련, 유전자원의 기원 및 출처 등에 대한 국제인증제도, ABS의 사전통보승인(PIC)과 상호합의조건(MAT)의 의무준수 등이다. 풍부한 유전자원의 보유국이대 개도국들은 유전자원에 대한 이익공유의 최대화, 유전자원에 대한 전통지식의 권리인정, 자국의 유전자원 보전과 이용을 위한 선진외국으로부터의 기술이전 및 재정지원 요구 등의 주장을 통하여 생물다양성협약을 자국의 이익을 추구할 수 있는 주요한 수단으로 이용하고 있다. 반면 선진국들은 자국의 이익을 최대화하기 위하여 외국의 유전자원에 용이하게 접근하고 ABS에 유전자원의 이용기술의 권리인 지적재산권을 반영하도록 노력하는 등 개도국의 주장과는 대립되어 있다. Bonn지침과 ABS의 의무준수 등에 관한 동 협약의 결정내용 등은 우리나라에 긍정적이고 또한 부정적인 영향을 나타내고 있다. 특히 유전자원이 풍부하지 않은 우리나라의 경우, 국민의 의식주에 필요로 하는 유전자원의 수입이 더욱 어려워질 것이고, 유전자원을 훼손하는 국내 각종 개발 사업은 더욱 큰 제한을 받게 될 것이다. 따라서 해외의 유전자원을 확보하고, 유전자원의 보전 및 이용에 관한 고유기술 개발 등에 관한 경제적 부담이 증가 할 것이다. 이러한 부정적인 영향을 최소화하기 위해서는 ABS에 관한 우리의 입장을 구체적으로 정립하고, 국제사회의 흐름을 우리에게 유리하게 이끌어 나가야 한다. 이를 위해서는 i) 국제적인 ABS 논의동향과 향후 논의의 결정사항이 우리나라에 미치는 영향에 대한 과학적이고 체계적인 연구의 추진, ii) ABS에 관련된 영향을 대응할 수 있는 국가의 이행계획을 수립하고 이행, iii) 상기 이행계획의 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 그 효율성을 검정하고 이를 통해 이행계획을 개선, 그리고 iv) ABS에 관한 여타의 국제적인 논의에도 적극적으로 임해야 할 것이다.

After the Kyoto Protocol has been ratitied in Feb. 16 2005, the developed countries which is involved in Annex-1 have tried to mitigate GHG to the reduction objective. To accomplish this objective, EU developed EU-ETS, CDM project, and so on. Korea has faced pressure to be a member of Annex-1, because Korea and Mexico are only non-Annex-1 countries in the OECD nations. This study is intended to examine unfolding transition on negotiations of Conference of Parties(COP), the Kyoto Mechanism referred as a cost-effective tool to meet a targeted level of greenhouse gas decrease, and trends in responses of developed countries to the Kyoto Protocol, and finally suggests legal and politic counterplans responding to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(hereafter, UNFCCC).

Before the Conference of Parties (COP) 21 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015, most parties of UNFCCC had submitted their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) and to achieve their voluntary targets, some parties consider using international market mechanisms. As one of such mechanisms, Japan promoted its own bilateral mechanism called Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM). In this study, feasibility studies and projects under JCM have been analyzed by project type, sector, country and region, which could provide some implications in designing Korea's future climate policy to achieve Korea's targets of 11.7% using international market mechanism in INDC. Since 2010, JCM has promoted 542 projects and feasibility studies in 44 countries according to the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) database. Among 542 projects, about 80% were feasibility studies implying that JCM was more focused on project identification. However, current trends of JCM show that more projects will be soon implemented based on these feasibility studies. For sectoral categorization, projects were categorized into seven sectors-energy technology, energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste management, city, strategic planning and projects related to the country's efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). JCM projects were mitigation focused with more than 70% of projects were related to energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy technology. At the regional and country level, JCM is highly focused on Asia and especially, more than 100 projects were developed in Indonesia. Based on the analysis of JCM, in order to develop bilateral international mechanism for Korea, it is worthwhile to emphasize that Korea considers Asian countries as her partner. In addition, Korea may consider the collaboration with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to implement projects identified by Korea and Asian partner countries. Furthermore, strategically, it is recommendable to develop jointly with Japan who has already capacity and networks with other Asian countries to mitigate GHG emissions. Such financial resources from MDBs and Japan may contribute to meet the 11.3% of GHG reduction target from abroad according to INDC of Korea.

최근 국제항공부문의 온실가스 배출 규제문제가 국제적으로 뜨거운 이슈가 되고 있다. 항공부문의 온실가스 배출량은 전 산업분야에서 배출되는 양의 극히 일부(약 2%)를 차지하고 있지만 여타 분야에서 배출되는 온실가스와 마찬가지로 지구온난화의 한 요인으로 지적되면서 온실가스 배출량 감축을 위한 국제대응체제를 마련하기 위한 논의가 한참 진행중이다. 그러나, 국제항공의 경우 국내 공항이나 공역 뿐만 아니라 다른 나라의 영역에 까지 활동이 미치게 되어 온실가스 배출통계가 어렵고 UN기후변화협약의 "공통의 차별화된 책임(CBDR: Common but Differentiated Responsibility) 원칙과 시카고협약의 균등기회(Fair opportunity) 원칙간 충돌이 생겨나는 등 법률적 기술적 쟁점들이 남아있어 국제적으로 통일된 메커니즘이 확립되기까지는 난항이 예상되고 있다. UN은 1990년 기후변화협약 채택과 1997년 교토의정서 채택 등을 통해 각국의 선 개도국간 차별화된 책임원칙에 입각하여 온실가스 감축의무를 차별 적용하고 있고, 국제항공부문에 대하여는 ICAO를 중심으로 국제적 대응방안을 마련토록 하였다. 이에 따라 ICAO는 지난 2009.10.7~9일간 몬트리올에서 '국제항공기후변화 고위급회의’를 개최하여 제15차 기후변화협약당사자회의에 보고할 국제항공부문의 온실가스대응방안을 마련하였다. 주요내용으로 "글로벌 온실가스 감축의 기본원칙", "달성목표(Aspirational goals) 및 이행방안(Implementation options)", "배출저감 달성을 위한 전략 및 조치", "이행상황 점검을 위한 수단", "재원조달 및 인적자원 확보문제"등 핵심사항에 대한 추진방안이 포함되었다. 우리나라도 2013년 이후 의무 배출량 감축국가에 포함될 가능성이 높은 바, ICAO 대응방안을 면밀히 분석하여 종합적인 항공부문 온실가스 감축대책을 마련하고, 제15차 기후변화협약당사국회의 이후 대두될 주요쟁점에 대한 논의에 대비하는 등 선제적 조치가 필요하다.

Since the global warming problem emerged in the international community, the problem has been sought to be not at the national but at the global level. As a result, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was agreed by international delegates in 1992, and the Kyoto Protocol which imposes industrialized nations to decrease their greenhouse gas emission was agreed by the international community in 1997. Kyoto protocol came into effect for reduction duty of greenhouse gas.(16-Feb-2005) High developed countries press environmental regulation. It will strengthen an environment regulation from advanced nation with this protocol. This study is intended to examine unfolding transition on negotiations of Conference of Parties(COP), the Kyoto Mechanism referred as a cost-effective tool to meet a targeted level of greenhouse gas decrease, and trends in responses of developed countries to the Kyoto Protocol, and finally suggests legal and politic counterplans responding to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (hereafter, UNFCCC).

The Paris agreement at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) emphasizes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and increase in energy consumption in all areas. Thus, an important aspect is energy saving in buildings where the lighting is a major component of the electrical energy consumption. This paper proposes a building energy management system employing visible light communication (VLC) based on LED lighting. The proposed management system has key characteristics including personalization and localization by utilizing such VLC advantages as secure communication through light and location-information transmission. Considering the efficient implementation of an energy-consumption adjustment using LED luminaires, this paper adopts variable pulse position modulation (VPPM) as a VLC modulation scheme with simple controllability of the dimming level that is capable of providing a full dimming range. This paper analyzes the VPPM performances according to variable dimming for several schemes, and proposes a VPPM demodulation architecture based on dimming-factor acquisition, which can obtain an improved performance compared to a 2PPM-based scheme. In addition, the effect of a dimming-factor acquisition error is analyzed, and a frame format for minimizing this error effect is proposed.

At the $21^{st}$ Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Climate change Conference, representatives of the 195 member countries reached an agreement requiring all participating countries, including Korea, to establish proactive measures to fight climate change. Under this vision, energy network technologies are deemed as a key site of research towards meeting this goal. Herein, the headquarters of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) is a worthy site for carrying out energy network technology research insofar as it contains various heat sources. To prepare for this research, a study was conducted analyzing the heat sources at KIER based on measured data. The study also consisted of developeding simulation models to predict the amount of energy savings that could be derived by replacing an absorption chiller/heater with an absorption heat pump during winter seasons. In our simulation results, we observed a primary energy saving ratio of 65~72% based on the water temperature from the heat source of a coal power plant.
