The Korean government announced a national mid-term target to reduce 30% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from business-as usual (BAU) level by 2020 in a voluntary and independent manner. In this study, we examined the $CO_2$ mitigation potential and conducted an economic effect analysis of green living actions in households in Korea. We also proposed some ways to implement green life to achieve the national target. If green lifestyle takes root in households nationwide, $CO_2$ emission would be reduced to 27.3% of the emission in 2007. This would save the country about 4.93 trillion won per year and each household could save about 300,000 won per year, which accounts for about 0.5% of GDP (as of 2007). Considering the five-year plan for green growth to invest 2% of GDP in green growth every year, this would not only reduce the economic burden on households, industries and the country but also increase economic growth potential by reinvesting the saved resources into green growth. Heating and lighting would be the greatest contributor to GHG mitigation of green life in the residential sector. It means we could achieve the national goal by reducing unnecessary heating and lighting and using energy-saving electric home appliances. The implementation of green living actions would reduce a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately relieving the burden on businesses to reduce GHG emissions. And it is one of the most cost-effective mitigation tools in order to achieve the mid-term GHG mitigation goal.

농업 분야 온실가스 발생은 토양환경, 기상환경, 작물 생장 등 모든 생태계 변화와 인위적인 영농활동의 상호작용에 따라 변화하여 배출량 변동성의 크기가 매우 크므로 배출량 자료에 대한 신뢰구간 확보가 필요하다. 이에 온실가스 배출량 및 흡수량에 대한 신뢰구간을 정의하는 불확도 평가가 필요하지만 불확도 평가 방법에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 밭토양에서 발생하는 N₂O 배출량 저감 효과의 유의성을 불확도 추정기법을 통하여 판정하고자 하였다. 질소 비료 시비효과 증진 및 N₂O 배출량 감소를 위한 요소분해효소 억제제 NBPT 함유 원예용 비료, 표준시비, 무시비 등 5처리 집단들의 신뢰구간에 차이가 있는지를 불확도 평가를 통해 확인하였으며, N₂O 배출량 개별 자료들의 변동성을 모두 고려한 신뢰구간을 찾아내어 분석한 결과로 신뢰성 있는 저감 효과(처리간 차이)의 유무를 판정할 수 있었다. 또한 고추와 배추 재배지에서 요소분해효소 억제제 NBPT 함유 원예용 비료를 시용하면 표준시비와 같은 생육상황에서 온실가스 저감효과를 볼 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

우리나라는 기후변화 대응과 경제성장의 선순환 구조를 정착하고, 온실가스 감축의무에 대한 국제사회의 요구와 압박에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히 국제사회에 발표한 국가 온실가스 중기 감축목표(2020년 BAU 대비 30% 감축)의 이행을 위하여 부문별 업종별 온실가스 감축목표 설정 및 할당, 다(多)배출원에 대한 온실가스 에너지 목표관리제 적용 등 단계적인 온실가스 감축을 위한 정책을 추진 중에 있다. 이와 같은 제도의 성공적 정착과 시행을 위해서는 보다 정확하고 신뢰도 높은 부문별 온실가스 인벤토리가 필요하다. 특히 불소계 온실가스(HFCs, PFCs, $SF_6$)는 대표적 온실가스인 $CO_2$에 비교하여 GWP(global warming potentail)가 높아 지구온난화에 미치는 영향이 큼에도 불구하고, 우리나라에서는 아직까지 이에 대한 배출원 파악, 적용 가능한 활동자료 수집, 배출량 산정 등 체계적인 배출 통계 구축을 위한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불소계 온실가스 배출원 중 냉매(HFCs)를 사용하는 냉동 및 냉방부문을 중심으로 온실가스 배출량 산정방법론의 적용 타당성을 검토하였으며, 검토된 방법론을 이용하여 이동형 에어컨, 고정형 에어컨, 가정용 냉동장치, 상업용 냉동장치에 대한 온실가스 배출량을 산정하였다. 우선 방법론 측면에서 살펴보면, 냉동 및 냉방부문의 온실가스 배출량 산정에 있어 국가고 유배출계수 개발이나 산업부문의 활동 자료 통계 DB의 구축이 미비한 실정이므로 2006 IPCC 가이드라인의 Tier 2a(배출계수 접근법)보다는 Tier 2b(물질수지 접근법)가 적절하다고 판단된다. 2009년도 냉동과 냉방부문의 냉매사용에 따른 온실가스 배출량($CO_2eq.$) 산정 결과, 이동형 에어컨은 1,974,646 ton/year, 고정형 에어컨은 1,011,754 ton/year, 가정용 냉동장치는 4,396 ton/year, 상업용 냉동장치는 1,263 ton/year으로 총 2,992,037톤으로 산정되었다.

Korea is currently developing country-specific emission factors to support the 2050 zero-carbon campaign. Dairy cattle represent one of the largest livestock industries in Korea, and the industry is estimated to continue increasing because of an increase in milk demand. However, country-specific emission factors for dairy cattle are currently only available for calculating methane (CH₄) emissions from enteric fermentation. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate CH₄ and nitrous oxide (N₂O) fluxes from sawdust-bedded barn in dairy cow and steer, as well as dairy cattle manure composting lots. The greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes were quantified using the open-chamber method and gas chromatography. CH₄ fluxes from steer, dairy cow, and manure compost were 27.88 ± 5.84, 36.12 ± 10.85, and 259.44 ± 61.78 ㎍/head/s, respectively. N₂O fluxes from steer, dairy cow, and manure compost were 14.04 ± 1.27, 4.11 ± 1.57, and 3.97 ± 1.08 ㎍/head/s, respectively. The result of this study can be used to construct country-specific data for GHG emissions from manure management. Thus, the application of mitigation strategies can be prioritized based on the GHG profile and targeted source.

This study the efficiency of greenhouse gas reduction of 'low carbon car collaboration fund' and its alternative 'control of average fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas', and 'improving driving behavior' were analyzed by using LEAP, long term energy analysis model. Total 4 scenarios were set, baseline scenario, without energy-saving activity, 'low carbon car collaboration fund' scenario, 'fuel efficiency improving scenario', and 'improving driving behavior' scenario. The contents of analysis were forecast of energy demand by scenario and application as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emission volume, and the period taken for analysis was every 1 year during 2015~2030. Baseline scenario, greenhouse gas emission volume in 2015 would be 7,935,697 M/T and 13,081,986 M/T in 2030, increased 64.8%. The analysis result was average annual increase rate of 3.4%. The expected average annual increase rate of other scenarios was, 'low carbon car collaboration fund' scenario 1.7%, 'fuel efficiency improving' scenario 3.0%. and 'improving driving behavior' scenario 3.4%. and these were each 1.7%, 0.3%. 0.3% reduce from baseline scenario. The largest reduction was 'low carbon car collaboration fund' scenario, and there after were 'fuel efficiency improving scenario', and 'improving driving behavior' scenario.

Climate change is one of the major issues in both the developed and developing world. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is one of the implications for climate change. It is increasing rapidly. Although the emission is much less when compared to the rest of the world, Ethiopia has also faced this global issue. The major source for GHG emission in Ethiopia is agriculture. Therefore, the agriculture sector has to be given more attention in Ethiopia. To overcome the problem, Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy has been initiated. One way of executing this target is to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly pathway to use agricultural byproducts. Sugarcane is one of the major plants in Ethiopia. Its byproducts are bagasse, molasses, and press mud. Since it is a waste product, it is economical and creates a sustainable and green environment by reducing GHG emissions. Sugarcane byproducts have versatile applications like as fuel, as cement replacing material, as a mitigation for expansive soils, as biosorbent for the treatment of water and wastewater and also as a wood material. However, Ethiopia has not used this byproduct massively as it is readily available. This paper reviews the possible applications of sugarcane byproducts to mitigate climate change.

This research was conducted to examine the temporal methane ($CH_4$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission trends in livestock agriculture from year 1990 to 2011 with Tier 1 national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory reporting method, which was related to efforts of decreasing GHG emissions and to achievement of voluntary GHG mitigation target. Methane emissions from enteric fermentation were calculated with default $CH_4$ emission factors of IPCC. Methane and $N_2O$ emissions from manure treatment processes were calculated with Tier 1 and mixture of Tier 1 and Tier 2 including $N_2O$ emission factors of manure treatment systems and nitrogen excretion rate of livestock, respectively. According to 2013 National GHG Inventory Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification report, GHG emission fluctuations from enteric fermentation and manure treatment processes were similarto livestock head fluctuation. GHG emissions from enteric fermentation were mainly affected by beef cattle including Hanwoo, while manure treatment processes were affected by various livestock.

According to IPCC fourth assessment report in 2007, global mean temperatures have risen by 0.74 degrees Celsius over the past 100 years. Moreover, in the recent 25 years, global mean temperatures have risen by 0.45 degrees Celsius, which is 2.4-times larger than those in the past 100 years. The evidences for climate change, such as sea level rise, arctic glacier melt, and desertification in Asia, have occurred and increased over the globe. In Korea, because regional climate has been changed, types of agriculture and fishery should be replaced. And as precipitation pattern behave differently from the past decades, water management would be more difficult, furthermore, atmospheric environment, related to concentrations for ozone, sulfate, etc., could be worse. Nevertheless, we have only focused on greenhouse gas reduction duty for the Convention of Climate Change. Fortunately, in the fourth plan on climate change, we have planned to manage climate change more actively since 2007. In Korea, the emission of carbon dioxide has increased about 1.9-times more, from 311million ton in 1990 to 591million ton in 2004. And also about 2 ppm rise every year for concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As a result, ecosystem, quality of water and atmosphere would be affected. Here, the emission of greenhouse gases over the globe is examined, and the effect of greenhouse gases for climate change is reviewed from the results of previous studies. In addition, the countermeasures of mitigation and adaptation on climate change were discussed for the understanding.
