국제사회의 온실가스 감축 목표 상향과 한국의 대응방안 (Increasing Global Climate Ambition and Implications for Korea)

본 연구는 국제사회의 온실가스 감축 목표 강화 추세 속에서, EU를 중심으로 탄소국경세가 도입될 경우의 영향을 분석하였다. 2020년 국제사회의 연이은 탄소중립 선언과 탄소국경세 도입 논의를 파리기후협정 이후 국제사회의 추세와 맞물려 검토하고, 탄소배출에 비용을 부과하는 이론적 모형을 분석하였다. EU가 관세 형태로 수입에 내재된 이산화탄소에 비용을 부과할 경우 주요 교역국에 파급할 영향을 분석하고, 온실가스 감축 목표 강화와 탄소국경세 도입에 따른 정부 및 민간 차원의 대응방안을 제시하였다. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, the international community has been heeding the urgency of responding to climate change and calling for wider and more decisive actions to mitigate GHG emissions. In particular, 2020 is the year set for review of the nationally determined contributions (NDC) previously submitted by each Party of the Paris Agreement, and for submitting long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LEDS). In addition, many countries are seeking a sustainable economic recovery plan that reflects climate change and environmental considerations to overcome COVID-19. Also, as major greenhouse gas emitters participate in the declaration of carbon neutrality vision and EU plans to introduce carbon border tax, the issue of greenhouse gas reduction is expected to affect not only domestic economic and industrial policies, but also diplomatic and international trade sectors. Accordingly, this research was carried out to present our policy recommendations by analyzing measures to strengthen greenhouse gas reduction targets and the economic impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
