지구온난화에 대한 우리나라의 기여도 분석

Abstract

Nowadays, global warming is one of the big issues because it adversely effects on our society and environment. It is known that the global warming was caused of surplus greenhouse emission originated from the human activities related to economic development such as fossil fuel consumption. For the stabilization of global warming, the UNFCCC calls for 189 member country to reduce the greenhouse emission in its nation and being negotiate to bind its reduction target. There is a principle which is share the burden of GHG emission reduction as a "common but different responsibility". Even the global warming is common problem, the developed countries have a historical responsibilities causing the current global warming with emitting huge amount of GHG emission for last a few hundred years But the developed country insist on participating some developing countries including Korea, Mexico, China, India for binding the GHG emission reduction target. In the situation, this research is focused on how much the Korea has a responsibility on the global warming. There are 3 kind of methodologies to define the responsibility; First, how much the country has historically emitted the GHGs for last hundreds years, Second how much the country has contribute to the GHG concentration of the atmosphere, and Third how much the country has influenced on increasing the surface temperature. The historical GHG emission of energy sector from the countries will be collected to analysis of the contribution rate per country in this research. During the research, the Korea's contribution rate on the global warming will be defined in each methodology.
