파리협정의 주요 내용과 우리의 대응

A Study on Key Contents of the Paris Agreement and Korean Response to Implement Korean NDC and Future Climate Change Negotiations

On December 12, 2015, the COP of the UNFCCC adopted a new treaty called the Paris Agreement to combat climate change issues. As its five years anniversary approaches, the author examines the key contents of the Paris Agreement, such as common targets of the Agreement, nationally determined contributions, mitigation, adaptation, transparency, global stocktaking, etc. And then the author critically analyses Korean NDC and its attitude towards climate change issues including internationally transferred mitigation outcomes and international carbon markets, and further urges alternative way of solutions for implementing Korean NDC, that is doing our best efforts to implement Korean NDC domestically rather than using ITMOs or international carbon markets. Finally the author critically analyses Korean attitudes towards climate change negotiations in the past, and suggests more affirmative attitudes to climate change issues. Korea needs to declare that Korea is not a developing country, and should do more positive roles in climate change negotiations considering its status in international community, rather than thinking more about national interest or economic gains.
