The global economic crisis made most of governments to overcome the economic depression as well as the challenging tasks for global warming. It is not easy political vision to harmonize these two rabbits race, and thus it needs to be developed new paradigm for the sustainable development. Unfortunately, the traditional cost-approach based productivity could not resolve this trade-off relation. Therefore, the paper is aimed to develop new approach on the green productivity index with the DEA models in the 1st stage, and then based on these green productivity scores, the paper is analyzed the determinants of these green productivity in the 2nd stage among the G 20 countries. The empirical result shows that the effect of GDP, carbon intensity, and capital and labor intensity toward the green growth is positive on the green productivity, while the level of government efforts is not significant on the green productivity.

This study compares and analyzes domestic and international carbon prices through CPS, which represents the level of carbon pricing. The results show that countries implementing carbon taxes had lower carbon intensity compared to those that did not. The introduction of a carbon tax is expected to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. As the carbon price rises to the level required for carbon neutrality, CPS decreases significantly, particularly in the residential and commercial sectors. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a carbon tax in the country to reach the required carbon price level for carbon neutrality, with a priority on introducing it in the residential and commercial sectors.

The phenomenon of climate change is deteriorating which increased heatwaves, typhoons and heavy snowfalls in recent years. Followed by the 25^th United nations framework convention on climate change(COP25), the world countries have achieved a consensus on achieving carbon neutrality. City plays a crucial role in achieving carbon mitigation as well as economic development. Considering economic and environmental factors, we selected 63 cities in South Korea to analyze carbon emission situation by Elbow method and K-means clustering algorithm. The results reflected that cities in South Korea can be categorized into 6 clusters, which are technology-intensive cities, light-manufacturing intensive cities, central-innovation intensive cities, heavy-manufacturing intensive cities, service-intensive cities, rural and household-intensive cities. Specific suggestions are provided to improve city-level carbon mitigation development.

기후변화협약에 의해 탄소세가 부과될 경우 한국의 에너지 집약 산업에 어떠한 영향을 미치며 그에 대한 대응방안이 어떻게 마련되어야 하는지에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 탄소세가 부과됨으로 인하여 에너지 다소비 업종인 시멘트산업의 각 에너지원별 사용량에 미치는 파급효과를 시스템 다이내믹스 방법론에 의한 시뮬레이션 모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 모델은 환경모듈, 경제모듈, 에너지모듈로 구성하였고 모델의 예측력 검증을 위해 의태분석을 수행하였다. BAU 시나리오와 탄소세 부과 시나리오를 설정하여 각 시나리오의 총수요의 예측치, 이산화탄소 배출량의 추이, 에너지원의 사용변화를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 향후 기후변화협약의 부담이 큰 에너지 집약산업에 있어서 에너지원의 사용 및 수요를 예측하고 이를 평가하기 위한 지침을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

온실가스 감축목표의 달성을 위한 정책은 에너지 가격구조의 개선을 통해 국가 경제의 탄소 집약도를 낮추고 에너지 효율을 제고하는 방향으로 추진되어야 할 것이다. 우리나라는 대규모 배출권에 대하여 배출권 거래제를 시행하고 있으므로, 이를 보완하는 차원에서 배출권 거래제의 적용을 받지 않는 배출원에 대하여 탄소세를 부과하는 정책을 추진할 필요가 있다. 온실가스 감축을 위한 규제(탄소세, 배출권 거래제 등)는 기존세제 구조의 왜곡을 해소하거나 교역조건 개선 효과가 클 경우 경제성장에도 긍정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다.

This study investigates a decomposition analysis of the determinants of the reduced $CO_2$ emissions in seven OECD countries that implemented carbon taxes from 1995 to 2013. Recent studies on decomposition analysis of changes in $CO_2$ emissions focused on technology-based physical factors; however, this study analyzes the effects of a carbon tax as an economic factor. According to the results obtained by using the Log Mean Divisia Index, the energy intensity effect and the carbon tax effect contributed the most towards the reduction of total $CO_2$ emissions in the seven OECD countries. The results for each country show that the emissions decreased due to the energy intensity effect, while the effects of carbon tax and carbon tax revenues differed by policy and environment of the countries.

지구온난화 문제의 대표적 원인 물질인 이산화탄소의 배출을 억제 하기 위해 사용할 수 있는 수단 중 하나가 탄소세이다. 탄소세가 부과되면 에너지 집약 산업인 철강 산업에 커다란 영향이 있을 것이 분명하다. 따라서 본 연구는 탄소세 부과로 인한 파급 효과를 시스템 다이내믹스(System Dynamics) 방법에 의한 시뮬레이션 모델을 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 탄소세 부과 금액, 부과 방법, 신기술 도입을 고려한 시나리오를 설정하여 이에 따른 결과를 분석한다. 또한 에너지 가격 상승률이 다양한 폭으로 변화하였을 때 철강 산업에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 분석한다.

This paper constructed the single country sequential dynamic CGE model to analyze the economic impacts of subsidizing water industry under the GHG emission abatement policy in Korea. We introduced the carbon tax to reduce the GHG emission and made two scenarios. One is to transfer the total tax revenue to household. The other is to mix the tax transfer and water industry support. Our Simulation results show that the macroeconomic effects might be positive by subsidizing water industry compared with the pure tax transfer. However, the support of water industry doesn't contribute to head for the non-energy intensive economy because it's economic activity highly depend on fossil energy and energy intensive products as intermediate demand. This means that it is important to make efforts on the cost effective measures such as energy technology progress, alternative energy development, and energy efficiency improvement in water industry against climate change policy.

Regulations on greenhouse gases emitted from ships in international shipping are being strengthened, and the greenhouse gas reduction target established by the International Maritime Organization is acting as a great challenge for shipping companies in terms of technical and operational aspects. The International Maritime Organization aims to reduce carbon intensity by 30% by 2030, 70% by 2050, and by 50% in terms of gross emissions compared to 2008. To realize this situation, the IMO adopted some short-term and mid-to-long-term measures and adopted technical measures such as the application of EEXI, an energy efficiency index, to existing ships from 2023, and the early application of EEDI phase 3 for some tpe of ships. In addition, reduction measures were introduced to reduce greenhouse gas in the operational aspect.

본 논문은 전통적인 산업연관분석이 고정투입계수를 시용하고 있어서 상대가격체계의 변화에 따른 경제 주체들의 비용최소화 노력을 모형 내에 반영하지 못하고 있다는 한계를 극복하기 위하여 상대가격체계의 변화에 따라 가변투입계수를 갖는 "반복다중최적화(IMO) 모형"을 이용하여 탄소세 부과가 가격구조에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 고정투입계수모형에 비하여 가격인상효과는 전반적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 에너지집약산업은 고정투입계수모형에 비하여 가격상승률이 낮게 나타난 반면, 기타산업은 가격상승폭이 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 에너지원에 대한 탄소세의 부과효과가 상대가격변화에 적응한 경제주체들의 비용최소화 노력으로 각 산업으로 분산된 결과라 여겨진다.
