Abstract

본 보고서에서는 기후변화 대응을 위한 그린 전환과 기술 발전에 기반한 디지털 전환이라는 국제적 흐름 속에서, 두 전환의 연계와 시너지를 강조하는 ‘그린디지털 전환’을 위한 한국의 개발협력 방안을 도출하고자 한다. 디지털 기술은 기상·재난 조기경보, 에너지 효율화, 스마트그리드 등에서 그린 전환을 가속하는 한편, 데이터센터 전력소비와 전자폐기물 증가 등 새로운 탄소배출 및 환경 부담을 동반한다. 이러한 양면성으로 두 전환을 병렬적으로 다루는 접근이 아닌 통합적 접근이 필요하며, 그린디지털 전환에서의 ‘디지털을 활용한 기후대응(by digital)’뿐 아니라 ‘디지털 전환 자체의 탈탄소·친환경화(of digital)’에 대한 균형 잡힌 고민이 필요하다. 이 와중에 소득이 높은 개발도상국일수록 그린과 디지털 전환에 대한 수요가 모두 높은 가운데, 개발도상국 관점에서의 그린디지털 전환 전략과 지원은 아직 초기 단계에 머물러 있다.‘디지털 전환 자체의 탈탄소·친환경화’에 대한 논의는 상대적으로 미흡한 상황이다. Amid accelerating global trend of green transformation to address climate change and digital transformation driven by technological progress, this report proposes Korea’s development cooperation strategies to promote an integrated green digital transformation in developing countries. Digital technologies are powerful enablers of green transformation—enhancing climate early warning systems, improving energy efficiency, and advancing smart grids—yet they also create new environmental pressures, such as rising energy demand and electronic waste. This duality calls for an integrated approach – the “green digital transformation” - that simultaneously advances “climate response by digital technologies” and the “decarbonization and greening of digital transformation” itself.
