Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As action to respond to the climate crisis galvanizes globally, carbon neutrality, the circular economy and sustainable development are emerging as key concepts for structural socioeconomic transformation. Countries around the world, led by Europe, are now establishing policies and related institutions for carbon neutrality.In pursuing carbon neutrality -- which refers to zero net carbon emissions -- countries around the world are considering ways to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by using carbon sinks such as forests and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human activity as much as possible.Korea and China announced their carbon neutrality policies around the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties(COP26) held in Glasgow from October 31 to November 13, 2021. Korea and China are both manufacturing powerhouses, and energy-intensive, greenhouse gas emitting-industries (hereinafter referred to as key industries) still account for a large share of their GDP.While the industrial economic structure has begun to change in the era of carbon neutrality, both Korea and China are manufacturing stalwarts in which key industries are important players. The two countries are thus facing a common challenge: preemptively responding to the restructuring of the industrial and economic order without compromising the competitiveness of existing industries in the process of promoting the green transformation of industries.Each country's carbon neutrality policies contain a core vision, along with more specific goals, strategies, and implementation plans for carbon neutrality. In this study, I identify the implications for the Korean response to the challenges described previously and for the pro-motion of carbon neutrality policies by comparing the Korean and Chinese strategies.This study first examines the current status of carbon neutrality policy promotion in Korea and China, and then draws implications for the promotion of carbon neutrality policy in Korea through a comparative analysis of core carbon neutrality policy case studies in the two countries.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared with the Paris Agreement, in which countries agreed to reduce carbon emissions, the current paradigm is shifting to the pursuit of carbon neutrality, which has cost implications for carbon positive beyond reduction. In order to actively respond to climate change, global regulations and corporate management activities have changed, and as a result, the global economic order is being reorganized with a focus on carbon neutrality. Major countries are promoting the simultaneous achievement of economic revitalization and carbon neutrality through green industry development.In particular, Korea, Japan, and China, the economies of which feature a strong manufacturing sector and energy-intensive industrial structures, as well as insufficient energy resources, face many challenges in transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy. From this point of view, this article examines the carbon-neutral policies of Korea, Japan, and China, summarizes the potential and current status of each country's photovoltaic (PV) sector, and identifies implications for policy these findings carry for Korea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2020, China announced that it would peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060. How and whether it can achieve the target is a matter of great concern to the international community. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis of the underlying theory of "Low-Carbon Plus", in which "low carbon" is the core and "plus" represents the critical areas that will go through low-carbon transformation (including industry, agriculture, buildings, transportation, energy and consumption), and puts forward the most practical path for China to achieve carbon neutrality. Starting from the basic theory of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy, the book introduces the low-carbon development situation domestically and abroad, summarizes the essential experiences and inspirations, and outlines a roadmap for China to implement the strategy. While focusing on emission reduction in primary and secondary industries, this book strongly recommends the development of low-carbon finance and low-carbon consumption, which can facilitate the ultimate realization of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy. As a fruitful result of the research by China’s national think tank, Low-Carbon Plus is an emerging development model that complements economic development and forces technological innovation, institutional innovation, and mind shift, and it is expected to have a significant and far-reaching impact on global economic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores various issues concerning the net-zero emission achievement, ranging from carbon pricing, carbon trade schemes, energy transition, ecological conservation, and carbon sinks, as well as the economic and social impacts of introducing carbon neutral policies in the Asia-Pacific region. The extreme flooding and drought problems, crop yield problems, and habitat changes brought about by climate change have seriously threatened the ecosystem and human survival, forcing people to rethink environmental management policies and limits on economic development. In the post-COVID-19 era, it is indispensable to adopt a more proactive climate change adaptation policy and establish bilateral cooperation with international partners who value climate change. 2021 is a critical year, and the leaders of major industrial countries at the recently concluded G7 meeting jointly stated the common objective seeking the establishment of carbon-neutral international community by the mid of the century. Major carbon-emitting countries or entities such as the European Union, US, Japan, Korea, China, and India have proposed specific timetables for net-zero carbon emissions and carbon neutrality before or at the COP26. Policy-makers around the world would also work closely with scientists, experts, and enterprises seeking appropriate policy instruments such as the development of carbon tax, carbon pricing, carbon sinks, global or regional carbon emission trade schemes, energy transitions, and other carbon-neutral policies moving toward net-zero emission society by the mid of the century. At a time when carbon pricing policies are being formulated, climate change related laws and policies will reshape the global governance and industrial layout during the period of 2021–-2030, and it is critical to move toward energy and industrial transformation, ecological conservation, and sustainable agricultural development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a huge challenge to humanity in the 21th century. In view of China’s recent pledge to the international community to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, this book examines climate mitigation and adaptation efforts in China through the prism of the steel sector, and it does so from three interrelated perspectives, i.e., policy, technology, and market. The book argues that in developing the country’s strategy towards green growth, over the years there has been a positive and interactive relationship between China’s international commitments and domestic agenda setting in mitigation and adaptation to the impact of climate change. To illustrate China’s efforts, two special areas, i.e., carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and emissions-trading system (ETS), have received focused examination. Along the spectrum of low-carbon, zero-carbon, and negative-carbon strategies, this study ends with a simulation model which outlines different policy scenarios, challenges, and uncertainties, as China moves further on, trying to achieve carbon neutrality in 2060. The book will be of interest to scholars, policy-makers, and business executives who want to understand China’s growing role in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the severity of climate change is increasingly recognized throughout the world, the international community has announced plans to achieve carbon neutrality and has introduced policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The Korean government is also devising concrete measures to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and going carbon free in industry, which produces a large portion of such emissions, is a key task. While carbon neutrality is a challenging goal given the manufacturing-centric structure of Korean industry, setting up an effective response system based on cooperation between the private and public sectors is an essential response to an irreversible tide. The climate crisis is a prime opportunity to find new drivers of growth without harming industrial competitiveness through a decarbonization strategy that includes the adoption of new eco-friendly fuels and materials, more efficient energy use, and innovative processes based on sectoral characteristics. This paper explores potential directions for decarbonization in Korea.Decarbonization will above all require an institutional base and multifaceted government support through investment and other approaches. Since manufacturing accounts for a large portion of the Korean economy and has a low rate of renewable energy use, a careful consideration of alternative responses is needed. In the transition toward carbon neutrality, industry is expected to experience not only a shift in energy sources but also major changes in technology, products, and structure. Achieving zero net emissions while minimizing the negative impact on business requires a sophisticated strategy that includes step-by-step targets, the development and application of technological innovations, the construction of green infrastructure, and streamlined regulations.

Book excerpt: "The International Resource Panel (IRP) was established to provide independent, coherent and authoritative scientific assessments on the use of natural resources and their environmental impacts over the full life cycle. The Panel aims to contribute to a better understanding of how to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation while enhancing well-being. The Secretariat is hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme. IRP assessments demonstrate the opportunities for governments, businesses and wider society to work together to create and implement policies that ultimately lead to sustainable resource management, including through better planning, technological innovation and strategic incentives and investments. Materials are vital to modern society, but their production is an important source of greenhouse gases. Emissions from material production are now comparable to those from agriculture, forestry, and land use change combined, yet they have received much less attention from the climate policy community. The IPR authors propose looking beyond energy efficiency to reduce global carbon footprint. This report was developed by the IRP in response to a request from the Group of 7. It conducts a rigorous assessment of the contribution of material efficiency to GHG abatement strategies. More concretely, it assesses the potential reduction of GHG emissions from material efficiency strategies applied in residential buildings and light duty vehicles, and reviews policies that address these strategies. The IRP modelling results show that increasing material efficiency can help enhance efforts in moving towards the 1.5° C target set by the Paris Agreement." -- Page 4 of cover

Book excerpt: Preventing risks of severe damage from climate change not only requires deep cuts in developed country greenhouse gas emissions, but enormous amounts of public and private investment to limit emissions while promoting green growth in developing countries. While attention has focused on emissions limitations commitments and architectures, the crucial issue of what must be done to mobilize and govern the necessary financial resources has received too little consideration. In Climate Finance, a leading group of policy experts and scholars shows how effective mitigation of climate change will depend on a complex mix of public funds, private investment through carbon markets, and structured incentives that leave room for developing country innovations. This requires sophisticated national and global regulation of cap-and-trade and offset markets, forest and energy policy, international development funding, international trade law, and coordinated tax policy. Thirty-six targeted policy essays present a succinct overview of the emerging field of climate finance, defining the issues, setting the stakes, and making new and comprehensive proposals for financial, regulatory, and governance mechanisms that will enrich political and policy debate for many years to come. The complex challenges of climate finance will continue to demand fresh insights and creative approaches. The ideas in this volume mark out starting points for essential institutional and policy innovations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In China, carbon emissions from the energy and heat producing sector account for 53.4% of total emissions, with industry (28.6%) and transportation (8.9%) being the main carbon emission sectors. Therefore, various green transition policies in energy, industry and transportation are being pursued in Chinese cities. In Chinese cities, the promotion of rooftop-distributed photovoltaic power generation, among renewable energy sources, is evaluated to be capable of intensive development, reducing power peak load, and inducing residents to consume green energy. Policies are being implemented in urban industries to reduce pollution and carbon emissions, increase energy use efficiency, improve resource use levels, and improve green manufacturing systems. In the transportation sector, China's policies to reduce emissions, expand the supply of new energy vehicles, and strengthen green transportation technology are representative. Consequently, this study summarizes the policy implications, areas of Korea-China cooperation, and risk factors of China's green transition promotion plan for its Chinese cities.
