Climate defines life, culture, civilization



• Tyndale: a slight change in the composition of the atmosphere can cause abig climate change (1861)

• Arrhenius: verified the greenhouse effect (1896)• Callendar: discovered fossil fuel consumption could increase the mean

surface temperature through the increase in atmospheric concentrationof carbon dioxide (1938)

Scientific Background of Climate Change

Greenhouse Gases

CO2

• Accounts for 80% of GHGs

• Caused by the burning of fossil fuel

• livestock enteric fermentation, mining,

and manual management

• Decomposition of organic wastes

• Coal mining and burning fuels in high

temperature

• Production and consumption of fertilizers

HFCs/ PFCs/

SF 6

• Man-made, chemical elements

• Small amount, but big effect on Green

House Effect

• Caused by Refrigeration system, firesuppression system

CH4

N2O

Gases causing greenhouse effect in the earth atmosphere.

Six GHGs are controlled by the Kyoto Protocol.

• Irreversibility: unlike local pollutions

• Mega-scale: global impact• Uncertainty: no excuse for inaction• Market failure: the tragedy of the commons

(free-riding)

• Inequity: different polluters and victims;different cost bearers and beneficiaries

• Immaturity of alternative technologies: policiesneeded

• No sovereign government: low likelihood of concerted actions

Global Reports on the adverse effects

and the cost of climate change attract the public attention.

IPCC 4th Report (Feb. 2007)It predicts the rise of 5.8°c in temperature,

and 88cm rise in the sea level by 2100 if no

additional efforts.

Melting glaciers would increase flooding

and rockslide risks, while millions are

exposed to flood risks.

Stern Review (Dec. 2006)The costs of action to reduce GHG

emissions to avoid the worst impacts can

be limited to around 1% of global GDP

each year. However, if the efforts are

delayed, the estimates of damage could

rise to 5~20% of GDP or more.

An abrupt CC scenario by USDOD• Possibility of an abrupt CC from paleoclimatic evidence

– collapse of the ocean conveyor: 8,200 years ago

• Characterized by the following conditions

- annual average temperature drop by 2.8℃ over Asia and North America &3.3℃ over northern Europe

- annual average temperature increase by 2.2℃ over Australia, South America,southern Africa

- drought persists in critical agricultural regions and in the water resourceregions

- winter storms and winds intensify

Abrupt CC → extreme weather events → decreasing carrying capacity

increasing conflicts for energy, water, and food → nuclear proliferation

& increasing threat of war against national interests

Once again, warfare would define human life.

Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life.

Climate Change: a global agenda

A task force in World Economic Forum issued

initial policy suggestions to G8 leaders about long

term policy aiming to cut global emissions of

greenhouse gases by 50% by 2050. (June 2008)

Over 70% of Fortune

500 companies are

regarding the climate

change as a risk factor.

U.N. Secretary General Ban

Ki-moon put the issue of

climate change the high

priority task since hisinauguration.

Global Challenges: Need a New Paradigm

New constraints & challenges Resource constraints: depleting natural resources, diminishing space per

capita Deepening economic & social inequality Climate Change: unprecedented, highly uncertain Degraded Earth’s carrying capacity: food & water security, biodiversity loss,

deforestation, ocean and soil acidification

A changing globalized world Accelerating increase in demand for resources by connecting the world real

time Aggravating frustration and anger of the poor Social, political, economic instability increase

Need a new development paradigm to simultaneously address

economic, environmental and social challenges under newconstraints Economic performance Environmental sustainability Social inclusiveness

Urgent, strong, collective efforts required Decisive and strong action is urgent Delay means greater risks and higher costs for human development,

Global Challenges: Need a New Paradigm



What is Green Growth?

OECD : “Green growth means fostering economic growth and development, while

ensuring that natur al assets conti nue to provide the resources and envi ronmental

services on which our wel l -being rel ies. To do this, i t must catalyze investment and

innovation which wi ll underpin sustained growth and give r ise to new economic

opportunities.”

UNEP : “A green economy is one that results in improved human well -being and

social equi ty, whi le signi fi cantly reducing environmental ri sks and ecological

scarci ties. I t is low carbon, resource eff icient, and social ly inclusive. In a green

economy, growth in income and employment should be driven by publ ic and pr ivate

investments that reduce carbon emissions and poll ut ion, enhance energy and resour ce

efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.”

Global Green Growth Institute : “green growth is the new

revolutionary development paradigm that sustains economic growth while

at the same time ensuring climatic and envir onmental sustainabil ity . Itfocuses on addressing the root causes of these challenges while ensuring

the creation of the necessary channels for resource distri bution and access

to basic commodities for the impoverished (social inclusiveness) . Under this

new paradigm, new ideas , transformational innovations and state-of-the

art technologies will become the major drivers for growth”

33



Paradigm shift

Addressing the global challenges requires a comprehensive

rethinking of our ways of valuing and measuring socioeconomic

progress and ecosystem services.

A new paradigm should recognize inherent value of environmentalprotection and social justice in enabling economic growth.

Rethinking of Growth Paradigm:

Broadening the concept of “Going Green”:

Quantity-oriented

(labor, capital)

: more input for more output

Responding to

Environmental

Degradation,

Climate Change

Quality-oriented

(new ideas, innovation) : less input but more output

Enhancing added value whilepromoting resource efficiencyand social inclusiveness

Green Growth

Is concerned with integrating environmental security and resource efficiencyconsiderations at the heart of country’s economic development planning andimplementation Accepts a country’s growth targets as a given rather than trying to adapt or

subordinate them to a particular environmental agenda Analyzes the policy options that could yield significant co-benefits for growth

and environmental protection and resource security within the economy orwithin its significant sectors Is a practical attempt through economic policy to operationlize the normative

frameworks represented by the sustainable development Seeks to fuse sustainable development’s three pillars into a single intellectual

and policy planning process, thereby recasting the very essence of the

development model so that it is capable of realizing sustained economicgrowth while safeguarding or improving the environment.

CC f f G G



CC in the framework of Green Growth

• The ultimate goal of GG is to enhance the well-being of

people in a sustainable way by approaching growth from

qualitative notion rather than quantitative.

• CC greatly influences well-being of people through variouschannels: water, food, energy security, environmental

degradation, natural disaster, etc.

• A new way of thinking, a new way of behavior required to

challenge the unprecedented global risks and achieve GG.

Global Trends in Green Growth

Implications of Green Growth in Developing Countries (1)




Developing country’s high vulnerability to global risks

Existing poverty and income gap Resource dependent economy

A large share of climate-sensitive sectors (e.g. rain-fed agriculture and

fishery)

Low adaptive capacity

Green Growth as a solution for economic, environmental and

social challenges New and renewable energy resources

Creating green jobs

Reducing poverty and income gaps

Tackling climate change and environmental degradation

41




Potential opportunities in pursuing Green Growth Early stage of development: better to adopt a new development paradigm

at an early stage of economic development Good position to adopt good practices and learn from bad practices:

infrastructure has a long lasting impact

Less fossil fuel dependency and low level of CO2 emissions

Opportunity for leapfrogging

Challenges confronted Lack of resources: financial, technological

Lack of capacity: human, institutional

Policy inconsistency

Challenges Ahead



Challenges Ahead

51

Sustaining the momentum

• This requires strong political leadership with clear vision

• Transition of power must not impede green growth initiatives

Providing the proper incentives

• Restructure the domestic market and energy system

• Introduction of carbon taxes has been opposed by top conglomerate firms(However, the Emissions Trading System or ETS has been passed in May2012)

Playing the global standards game

• Standards are critical in emerging industries such as smart grid

• Korea has to influence standard-setting process in the international arena despiteits small domestic market

Strengthening public-private collaboration

• The government has successfully collaborated with the private sector in the past

• Reforming the carbon and electricity pricing systems will challenge this relationship



In spite of the achievements such as establishing legal and institutional bases, promoting

development and investment of green technology and industry, creating grounds for eco-

friendly green life style and securing international green growth leadership, Challenges

are still lying ahead:
