2021년, 정부는 국가 온실가스 감축목표(Nationally Determined Contribution, NDC)를 상향 설정하고 에너지 분야의 주요 감축 방안과 감축목표를 제시하였으나, 다양한 쟁점이 논의되고 있다. 그 중 NDC 감축목표를 달성하기 위한 에너지수요와 신재생에너지 발전 비중을 17개 광역시도 통합평가모형 GCAM-Korea로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 2030년 최종소비부분의 에너지수요는 2018년과 비슷한 수준이었다. 이는 석탄 비중의 감소와 전기화가 진행되면서 가능한 것으로 보이며, 특히, 산업부문에서 그 현상이 뚜렷이 나타났다. 최종소비부문에서 증가한 전기수요와 감소한 석탄 발전량(2030년 발전 비중 12.8%)은 신재생(33.1%), 가스(24.6%), 원자력(18.0%)이 부담하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 미래의 주요 발전지역은 현 주요 발전지역인 충남(주요 발전원, 석탄)에서 경북(원자력), 경기(가스), 전남(원자력, 가스), 강원(태양광, 풍력)으로 바뀌었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 국가와 지자체의 에너지 정책 및 온실가스 감축 전략 도출을 위한 기반자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

온실가스 자발적 감축목표(INDC; Intended Nationally Determined Contribution)는 공동의 책임을 강조하면서, 동시에 각자의 능력과 국가별 여건을 고려토록 하는 원칙을 갖고 있다. 형평성(equity)과 진전(no back sliding)을 고려하여, 우리의 여건을 적절히 설명하고, 우리의 목표가 얼마나 의욕적이며, 우리의 배출량이나 경제규모에 비추어 공정한지를 잘 설명하는 것이 중요하다. 우리 경제가 감당할 정도의 감축목표를 우리나라에 적합한 방법으로, 정부-산업-시민이 합의한 방법으로 합심하여 온실가스를 감축하여야 한다.

Climate action is at the top of the agenda in the international community, as demonstrated at the 2021 G7 Summit and the 2021 UN Climate Summit. Major developed countries are scrambling to make a transition to a green economy and create a new growth momentum. Following the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016, they focus on "carbon neutrality" as an effective means of tackling climate change. The Republic of Korea, a high-carbon economy, submitted its second Nationally Determined Contribution and announced carbon neutrality as a top policy priority. Accordingly, the country increases government budget in research and development (R&D) and science and technology (S&T) policies. Against this backdrop, this study analyzed policies on carbon-neutral S&T and R&D in major advanced countries. The analysis was made by identifying globally pending issues in carbon-neutral policies and climate technology. In addition, focus group interviews were conducted six times with 10 experts to come up with three R&D strategies and action plans for government-funded research institutes to achieve carbon neutrality. To be specific, the following measures were suggested. First, creative and innovative R&D programs are required to solve the problem of carbon emissions. Second, it is necessary to establish carbon neutrality policies and infrastructure which are sustainable to run and manage. Third, it is crucial to promote cooperation in climate technology based on excellence. In conclusion, the strategies proposed in this study are expected to provide directions and implications for policymakers, researchers, and scholars in science and technology to develop effective strategies to achieve national carbon neutrality.

우리나라는 2015년 국가 온실가스 감축목표(Nationally Determined Contribution, 이하 NDC)를 수립한 이래, 2019년 한 차례 수정 후 지난해 말 상향안을 발표하였다. 전환, 산업, 건물 등 각 부문별 탄소배출량은 NDC 목표 달성을 위해 설정된다. 본 연구는 협조적 게임이론의 claims problem 또는 파산문제(bankruptcy problem)를 활용하여 부문별 온실가스 감축목표를 분석한다. Claims problem에서 다루는 대표적인 5개의 분배규칙을 정의하고 각 규칙의 특성을 공리적으로 확인하였다. 또한, NDC 목표 달성을 위한 부문별 탄소배출량 분배문제에 각 분배규칙을 적용하고 그 결과를 정부목표와 비교분석하였다. 전환 부문에 책정된 정부목표는 5개 분배규칙에서 할당하는 배출량보다 낮은 반면, 산업 부문의 정부목표 배출량은 5개 분배규칙의 결과보다 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 그 외 부문은 정부목표가 클레임 수준에 비례하여 배출량을 할당하는 분배규칙의 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

Implementation of mitigation options on land is important for realisation of the goals of the Paris Agreement to stabilize temperature at $2^{\circ}C$. In India, the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) targets include a forestry goal of creation of carbon sinks of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes by 2030. There are however, multiple barriers to implementation of forestry mitigation options in India. They include environmental, social, financial, technological and institutional barriers. The barriers are varied not just across land categories but also for a land category depending on its regional location and distribution. In addition to these barriers is the impeding climate change that places at risk realisation of the mitigation potential as rising temperatures, drought, and fires associated with projected climate change may lead to forests becoming a weaker sink or a net carbon source before the end of the century.

To address mounting concerns over global warming, the Paris Agreement was reached in December 2015, which aims to limit the increase in global average temperature. South Korea has set a highly ambitious target to reduce emissions and submitted an Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC). Based on the INDC, we investigated the impact of limiting carbon emissions on the power system and the electricity market in Korea. Through detailed simulations on assumed plausible scenarios, this work highlights a) the effects of different carbon emission targets on the annual carbon emission volumes, generation costs, and carbon price; b) the generation mix changes induced by carbon emission limits; and c) the difference in system marginal price and payments for generator owners that carbon emission constraint creates in electricity markets under three different pricing rules.

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.

Considering Japan's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction target for Fiscal Year (FY) 2030, the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) was analyzed in order to estimate its significant contribution to Japan's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and check its availability as a new mechanism to achieve Korea's 2030 mitigation target of 11.3% using carbon credits from international market mechanisms. The total budget for JCM Model Projects (1.2 billion JPY/yr) and JCM REDD+ Model Projects (0.8 billion JPY/yr), which are expected to deliver at least 50% of issued credits to Japan, is estimated about 21.6 billion JPY by the year 2030. This budget is about one third of the purchase of carbon credits from international carbon markets. So far, JCM credits of $378tCO_2-eq$. have been allocated to Japan, which are about 77% of the total issued credit through five-JCM Model Projects implemented from the year 2014. It is expected that Japan will obtain about $0.5MtCO_2-eq$. credits more from 100-ongoing JCM Projects, which are only 1% of Japan's NDC target through JCM credits. With regard to regular issued credits from implemented projects, expected new issued credits from pipeline projects and the less budget for JCM implementation as compared to purchasing carbon credits, JCM credits can be reached a resonable level of Japan's NDC target of $50{\times}100MtCO_2-eq$. through JCM until FY 2030.

Cameroon is a lower middle-income country with a population of 25.87 million inhabitants distributed over a surface area of 475,442 ㎢. Cameroon has very rich potentials in renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, small hydropower, geothermal energy and biomass. However, renewable energy constitutes less than 0.1% of energy mix of the country. The energy generation mix of Cameroon is dominated by large hydropower and thermal power. Cameroon ratified the Paris Agreement in July 2016 with an ambitious 20% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. This study attempts to investigate some renewable energy deployment policy-instruments that could enable the country enhance renewable energy deployment, gain energy independence, fulfill Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and achieve Sustainable Development Goals. It begins with an analysis of the status of energy sector in Cameroon. It further highlights the importance of renewable energy in mitigating climate change by decarbonizing the energy mix of the country to fulfill NDC and SDGs. Moreover, this study proposes some renewable energy deployment policy-solutions to the government. Solar energy is the most feasible renewable energy source in Cameroon. Feed-in Tariffs (FiT), is the best renewable energy support policy for Cameroon. Finally, this study concludes with some recommendations such as the necessity of building an Energy Storage System as well a renewable energy information and statistics infrastructure.
