지구온난화에 따라 이상기후 현상이 빈번해지면서 세계 모든 국가들은 온실가스 감축을 위해 다양한 분야에서 기후변화대응 정책들을 제시하고 있는 중이다. 특히 최근에는 도시 건축물과 관련하여 건축물에서 발생되는 온실가스를 줄여야 한다는 인식이 고조되고 있는데, 이는 건축물이 국가 온실가스 배출의 25%를 차지하고 도시 내에서도 절반 이상의 비율을 점유하고 있기 때문이라 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 정부는 공공부문에서 저탄소 녹색 정책 및 추진전략을 선도적으로 실천할 필요성이 있다고 보고, 공공건축물의 저탄소 녹색화를 통해 대내 외적인 이미지를 고양시키고 민간부문의 온실가스 감축을 촉진시키고자 하고 있다. 이와 같은 배경에서 본 연구는 청주시를 사례로 공공건축물의 저탄소 녹색화를 위한 계획요소의 활용 특성을 고찰하고 그에 따른 탄소감축량 산정 및 경제성 분석을 통해 탄소감축 효과를 분석함으로서 공공건축물의 저탄소 녹색화를 위한 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

우리나라 정부는 국가 온실가스 감축 목표를 설정하고, 부문별, 업종별 온실가스 감축 대책을 추진하고 있으며, 이에 맞추어 경기도 등 광역시 도와 기초지자체들도 지역 특성에 적합한 기후변화대응 대책을 수립 추진하고 있다. 하지만 지자체의 경우 저감목표 수립을 위한 정책 단위별 온실가스 배출현황 및 장래 배출량 전망치가 명확하지 않아 많은 어려움이 있다. 올바른 기후변화 적응정책을 수립하기 위해서는 정책적 방향과 검증된 온실가스 발생량 평가가 바탕이 되어야 하고, 국가 차원의 기후변화 영향 및 취약성 평가와 함께 지역의 특성과 여건을 고려한 방법론을 개발할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기초지자체인 경기도 시흥시를 대상으로 국립환경과학원에서 지자체에서 쉽게 BAU(Business As Usual) 배출량을 산출할 수 있도록 제작한 GEBT(Greenhouse gas Emission Business as usual Tool) 모형을 사용하여 시흥시의 온실가스 발생량을 산정하였다.

Our country set the mid-term reduction goal of greenhouse gases up to 2020 in accordance with Bali roadmap agreed in 2007 through the negotiation with UNFCCC in 2009 and specified the proper goal as by the Basic Act on Green Growth that went into effect at April, 2010. First of all the enlargement of green building construction has been suggested as a worldwide strategy to achieve the green house gas reduction. Building area is one of most important sectors for the countermeasure of climate change agreement and the achievement of national green house gas reduction goal and the need to reduce its green house gases has been increased accordingly. The objective of the study is to examine the status and characterization of mass energy consumption local governmental buildings' green house gas emissions depending on usage (hotel, school, apartment, hospital) through the green house gas emission source unit analysis. The result indicated that the energy source unit was proportional to green house gas source unit and hotel showed the highest green house gas emission source unit per open area of construction unit, followed by hospital, apartment, and then school. In case of apartment, green house gas emission source unit per open area of construction unit decreased as year went on. Meanwhile school building showed a striking increase in the annual energy source unit.

이산화탄소는 지구 온난화를 가속화시키는 주요 원인이며 몇몇 국가에서는 이산화탄소의 배출량을 줄이기 위한 노력으로 가까운 목적지로 이동할 때 자동차 대신에 자전거를 이용할 것을 권장하는 정책들을 내놓고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자전거 운행 거리를 측정하여 이산화탄소 배출량이 얼마나 감소하였는지 확인할 수 있는 장치를 개발하고 데이터베이스 서버에서 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 어플리케이션은 스마트 디바이스에서 수신한 데이터를 가공하여 이용자별 자전거 주행거리, 탄소 배출 저감량, GPS를 이용한 자전거 운행경로, 일일 은행나무 심은 수를 자전거 이용자들이 확인할 수 있도록 제공하고 있다. 제안한 시스템을 적용한 자전거를 이용하는 사람에게 운행거리에 따라 소액지급이나 세금 감면과 같은 방법으로 보상하는 방안을 마련한다면 자전거의 이용률을 높여 이산화탄소 배출 저감에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This study analyzes in detail greenhouse gas emissions in building sector. To this end, this study used data on building characteristics (including building type, region, and construction year) and monthly energy consumptions (including electricity, city gas, and district heat) for all buildings from 2015 to 2018. These data were collected from the National Building Energy Database and the energy consumptions were converted into greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The total amount of GHG emissions from the building sector has increased steadily from 2015 (118.1MtCO2eq.) to 2018 (132.6MtCO2eq.). On the other hand, the more recently constructed buildings had lower GHG intensities. This result shows that strengthening building design criteria was effective on the reduction of GHG emissions in buildings, and that the increased buildings contributed to increasing GHG emissions of the building sector. In addition, sales facilities are thought to have the largest reduction potential as they had the highest amount of GHG emissions and GHG intensity. This study is expected to help establish new policies for GHG reduction in building sector as well as to evaluate the effects of existing policies.

On December 12, 2015, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement, in which several developed and developing countries all committed to participating in the reduction of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. South Korea has submitted an intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) proposal with a target to cut down 37% greenhouse gas business as usual (BAU) until 2030 in preparation for the 2030 GHG BAU. Under the post-2020 regime, which will be launched from 2021 as the agreement entered into force early, it is expected that efforts to support GHG reduction and adaptation to climate change in developing countries will be accelerated with the utilization of technologies and financial resources of developed countries. South Korea has established the Basic Plan for Climate Change Response and the Basic National Roadmap for Greenhouse Gas Reductions by 2030 to promote the response to climate change at the government level. The Ministry of Science and ICT, as the National Designated Entity designated by the UNFCCC, has come up with middle and long-term strategies for climate technology cooperation. South-Korea has an abundance of energy-consuming industries to support its export-oriented industrial structure; it is thus expected that achieving the GHG reduction target will incur a considerable cost. Moreover, in order to meet the reduction target (11.3%) of the intended nationally determined contribution proposed by South Korea, it is necessary for South Korea to actively promote projects that can achieve GHG reduction achievements, and financial resources are needed as leverage to reduce risks that can occur in the early stages of projects and attract private sector investment. This paper summarizes the theoretical discussions on climate finance and conducted a comparative analysis on the status of the funds related to climate change response in the UK, Germany, Japan and Denmark. Through this, we proposed the legal and policy tasks that should be carried forward to raise public funds that can be used for creation of new industries related to climate change as well as to reduce GHG emissions in South Korea. The Climate Change Countermeasures Act, which has been proposed by the National Assembly of South-Korea, stipulates the establishment of funds but there is no additional funding except for general account. In this regard, it is also possible to take measures such as the introduction of carbon tax or the collection and use of royalties through technology research and development projects for climate change, such as Industrial Technology Innovation Promotion Act. In addition, since funds are used in various fields such as domestic greenhouse gas reduction, technology development, and overseas projects, it is necessary to establish a system in which various ministries cooperate with the operation of the fund.

Energy consumption in agriculture is responsible for greenhouse gas emission but it can be reduced after efficient utilization of energy inputs. Therefore, the present study aims for the estimation of energy efficiency and extent of greenhouse gas reduction after benchmarking of inefficient farms in off-season tomato in Punjab province of Pakistan. Primary data were collected from 70 farmers with simple random sampling. By using data envelopment analysis, the average value of technical, pure technical and scale efficiency was 0.80, 0.92 and 0.87, respectively while increasing, constant and decreasing return to scale was observed in 33, 26 and 11 farmers, respectively. Total input energy was reduced by $12,688.91MJ\;ha^{-1}$ (13.89%) if inefficient farms used the energy inputs according to recommendations or benchmarking. A major portion of energy saving comes from fertilizers (68.79%) followed by diesel (15.70%), chemicals (5.91%), machinery (4.37%) and water (4.00%). Total greenhouse gases reduction was $499.17kg\;CO_2\;eq.ha^{-1}$ (14.57%) as a result of improvement in energy efficiency or benchmarking of inefficient farms. Agricultural extension staff should visit the vegetable farms on regular basis and give necessary information about efficient utilization of energy inputs. The government should create awareness about the optimum use of input through seminars and pamphlets.

Agriculture is a vulnerable sector to climate change because it is a primary industry directly exposed to climate. At the same time, it is a sector emitting greenhouse gases during agricultural activities, thereby affecting climate change. However, agriculture is a nascent subject under the UNFCCC. The agriculture sector needs both adaptation and mitigation. Currently, co-benefit of adaptation and mitigation is emphasized during climate change negotiation. Developing country parties are in a position to focus on adaptation rather than mitigation. As a result, mitigation is not being addressed enough during climate negotiation. Agriculture has been addressed through Nairobi Work Programme and NAPA. Since current efforts for greenhouse gas reduction are not sufficient for stabilizing the atmospheric system of the Earth to prevent climate change, the agriculture sector should also be considered for greenhouse gas reduction. For this, MRV for small farmers in developing countries and incentives for their mitigation efforts should be developed in agriculture sector. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation for developing capacities for vulnerable countries and people to climate change.

In general, wastewater treatment systems consume high-energy consumption depending on operation characteristics of the facilities. Therefore, greenhouse gas(GHG) reduction activities that are application of digestion gas, induction of renewable energy etc. are conducted to reduce energy consumption and to increase energy independence ratio. In this study, GHG reduction in wastewater treatment system identified, searched application of Clean Development mechanism(CDM) approved methodology. If the methodologies apply to GHG reduction activities such as application of digestion gas, heat pump system using the wastewater as heat source, hydropower using the methodology determined CDM applicability, otherwise through several assumptions calculated expectable GHG reduction emissions and determined CDM applicability. As a result, the order of calculated GHG reduction emission showed that collected and energy generation of digestion gas is 66,775 $tCO_2$/yr, gas engine cogeneration system is 8,182 $tCO_2$/yr, heat pump system using the wastewater as a heat source is 72,715 $tCO_2$/yr, and hydropower is 561 $tCO_2$/yr. Consequently, the order of calculated Certified Emission Reductions(CERs) benefit showed that heat pump system using the wastewater, as a heat source is 1,381 million won/yr was estimated as the highest, followed by a collected and energy generation of digestion gas is 1,268 million won/yr.
