Green Growth Strategy (OECD) Green growth is about fostering economic growth and development

while ensuring that the quality and quantity of natural assets can

continue to provide the environmental services on which our well-being

relies. It is also about fostering investment, competition and innovation

which will underpin sustained growth and give rise to new economic

opportunities

Green Growth (Denmarks Vision) Economic Development through Green Energy System Without

Fossil Fuels by 2050

Green Growth Alliance !

Roadmap 2050 (EU) A prosperous, competitive Low-Carbon Economy

And, More to Come !

Green Growth & Development : Revisited (2/2)

A New Economic Development Paradigm for Korea To Solve the Triple Crunch : Energy, Climate and Economy

Energy Challenge : $140 Billion Energy Bill (97% imported & 83% fossil fuels)

Climate Challenge : Average Temperature Rise of 1.7 Cel.Degree (2 times faster)

Economic Challenge : In the Nutcracker, Jobless & Slow Growth

Characteristics Put in the Top National Agenda supported by Strong Political

Leadership

=> Presidential Committee on Green Growth = Climate Change Office +

Energy Commission + Sustainable Development Commission Full Integration into Government & Public-Private Partnership

id for Green Growth in Climate Change Mitigation/A

daptation

Announced at G8 Extended Summit Meeting (Toyako Japan, 2008.7)

USD 200 Million for 5 years (2008 - 2012)

New and AdditionalResources for global climate action

Korea became the first country to successfully transition from aid recipientto donor country by officially joining the OECDs Development AssistanceCommittee (DAC) in 2010

As one of Korean initiatives in official development assistance (ODA),the EACP will focus efforts to combat climate change by building on Koreascapability to foster cooperation between developing and developed countries

(Green ODA: Increase from 14% in 2009 to 30% by 2020)

Active Role as a Bridge

EACP

Why Asia Pacific region?

Fastest growing economy and population, esp. in Urban Areas

- Asias population is expected to grow from 4 5 billion (2009 2050)

- Energy consumption and associated emissions in Asia will significantly

increase until 2030 driven by fast economic growth and growing middle class

Great demand for climate change adaptation

- Cyclone Nargis (May 2008) just a few example of climate change

- Melting of Himalayan glacier that feed into major rivers in Asia

Most opportunities in GHG mitigation

- 70% of CDM projects are occurring in East Asia

- Close to half of global opportunities for GHG mitigation (McKinsey report)

Support the entire value chain from forestation to biomassthrough projects to promote carbon storage

Support water control infrastructure and relevant policy

development to help prevent disasters and accessibility tofresh water to enhance the capacity to handle increasingwater-related natural disasters

Support those Asian countries experiencing highdependency on fossil fuels and severe power shortage,while cutting down on carbon emissions

Lead low-carbon development across Asian cities to boosturban energy efficiency and to lower the green house gas emission

Take the lead in Asia regarding waste related issues bydeveloping a database of waste information of other

countries and using it to support optimal wastemanagement / reuse and waste-to-energy efforts

Bilateral Projects in 5 Priority Areas

-17 Bilateral Projects in Climate Change Mitigation/Adaptation

Key Progress in 2009 and 2010

Multilateral Programs with International Organizations

Policy Dialogue : The 1st & 2nd East Asia Climate Forum

- Finding the roadmap to Green Growth in Asia (Seoul Initiative)- Launch of GGGI (Global Green Growth Institute)

Building knowledge hub for Aid on Green Growth

- Capacity Building- Research Programmes

EACP

- ADB : Economics of Climate Change and Low Carbon Growth Strategies in Northeast Asia- UNESCAP : Development of a Low Carbon Green Growth Roadmap for East Asia

Project ScopeProject Scope BudgetBudget DurationDuration

- Establishing a master plan for water resource

development

- Supplying water to new town (Yamag) (drilling

wells with riverside natural filtration method,

Q=20,000 m3/day)

- Improving heating system of reservoir to

prevent freezing and rupture

USD 25

Million

2010

~2014

Water and Urbanization (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia )

Background-Increased nomad population to Ulaanbaatar and Deterioratingwater supply

-Nomads who suffered a great loss of live stocks due to extreme

cold climate move to the capital city- Yearly precipitation in Ulaabaatar : 250mm

Expected Outcomes-Benefits of clean water supply to 330,000 residents in new townand nearby poverty area (Ger tent village)

- Improving the quality of life for those who became poverty groupdue to the climate change

AnotherApproach Globally

Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI)

Announced at the 15th UN Climate Change Conference (Copenhagen, 2009.12)

Found with initial Korean fund of annual USD 10 Million for 3 years (2010 ~ 2012)

Other Funding from Denmark, U.A.E, Australia and etc

Global Asset for the Global Community: an inter-governmental organization by 2012
