다자개발은행들은 기후변화 대응에 적극적으로 동참하고 있으며, 기존 환경·사회 영향평가에서 한발자국 더 나아가 저탄소 기후금융(Climate Finance) 제공을 위한 공동의 기후금융 평가방안(Common Principles for Climate Finance Tracking)을 마련하여 운용하고 있다. 이들은 보수적인 시각에서 전체 사업 중 기후변화 적응 또는 저감으로 인정할 수 있는 부분을 단위화하여 평가하고 있으며, 그 결과를 취합하여 2012년부터 2021년도까지 총 10회에 걸쳐 기후금융 보고서를 발간하였다. 기후금융으로 판단하는 방법은 저감인지 적응인지에 따라서 다소 상이하다. 기후변화 적응 금융의 경우에는 사업의 맥락, 전후사정을 살펴 적응 금융으로 산정하며, 저감 금융의 경우에는 적용이 가능한 사업에 대한 포괄적인 리스트가 마련되어 이에 해당하는 경우 저감 금융으로 인정한다. 다자개발은행은 기후금융 평가 내용을 환경·사회 영향평가 결과와 함께 사업 심사의 주요 항목으로 활용하고 있다. 세계 각국이 사업 수준에서 기후변화를 다루기 위한 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있는 상황에서, 다자개발은행이 사업 승인 시 기후변화를 어떻게 고려하고 있는지 살펴보고 그 시사점에 대해서 고찰해 보는 것은 향후 기후변화 대응 방법론 마련 및 관련한 환경·사회 영향평가의 역할 확대에 도움이 될 것이라고 생각한다.

The paper examines social entrepreneurial intention through outcome expectations. The proposed model incorporates outcome expectations from social cognitive career theory and theory of planned behaviors. The study also introduces a scale for outcome expectations in social entrepreneurship, including solving social problems, innovation, family tradition of social involvement, meaning in life, prestige and social recognition, competitive and favorite job and wealth. A survey of 279 students was conducted through face-to-face structured interviews. The confirm factor analysis and technique of structural equation modeling were used to explore relationships among latent constructs. Research results show that the outcomes impact only through three determinants of theory of planned behavior and do not have significant impact to social entrepreneurial intention. It suggests that outcome expectations may be a flexible factor. Individual outcome expectations can shift to motivations when facing favorable conditions such as family support, government support, etc. The findings suggest that the ability to predict social entrepreneurial intention of attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The proposed model in this study contributes importantly to the emerging literature on entrepreneurial intention, particularly to social entrepreneurial intention. This study is also the first quantitative study to measure the impact of outcome expectations on social entrepreneurial intention.

The present paper study investigates the relationship between social exclusion and donation intention among specific social groups in Korea. Social exclusion refers to non-participation in social experiences by the socially disadvantaged. Data were analyzed using two sources; first was the evidence of behaviors arising from social exclusion of the university students and then socially excluded reactions of the elderly responses from the survey were compared with the first research findings. The reason of using multi-sources of data is that the outcome from the experimental design of the university student is imperative to clarify what the conclusions will be the same result with the other demographic characteristic of the elderly. The research design was three excluded elderly individuals of a self-excluded group and two other excluded groups divided such as "ignored" and "rejected" individuals to compare the differences among three groups of different sources of exclusion. The conclusion of this study is that those with high social exclusion exhibited a more negative donation intention than those with lower social exclusion, but that those who perceived themselves as self-excluded were more likely to give donations than those excluded by others, regardless of the level of their social exclusion.
