Abstract

The pillar of the Paris Agreement, which will define the efforts of the international community against climate change since 2020, is the INDCs submitted by each country. In this study, the INDCs of the major industrial and developing countries (EU, USA, Japan, China, India) and South Korea are reviewed and national circumstances are analyzed based on the status of industrial structure, power mix and GHG emissions. We will also present South Korea's strategies in future climate change negotiations. South Korea should ; find out the special differentiating factors favorable to Korea with which the international community can agree; and establish an interagency working group to prepare for the periodical renewal of the INDC.

2020년 이후 국제사회의 기후변화 대응을 규정하는 파리협정의 핵심은 각 국가가 제출한 INDC이다. 본 연구는 주요 선진 개도국(EU, 미국, 일본, 중국, 인도)과 우리나라의 INDC를 개관하고, 각국의 감축공약 설정에 영향을 주고 있는 해당 국가의 산업구조 현황, 연료별 발전 현황, 부문별 온실가스 배출현황을 중심으로 각 국가여건을 분석한다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 향후 기후변화 협상에서 우리나라의 대응 전략을 다음과 같이 제시한다. 첫째, 우리나라는 선진국의 INDC 관련 정보 목록의 확대 요구에 보조를 맞추며, 둘째, 국제사회의 동의를 얻어낼 수 있는 우리나라에 유리한 특수한 차별화 요소를 발굴하고, 셋째, INDC의 주기적 갱신에 대비한 범정부적 기구를 만들어야 한다.
