9 2 Legal & Institutional Arrangement Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth Article 1 (Purpose) The purpose of this Act is to promote the development of the national economy by laying down the foundation necessary for low carbon, green growth by utilizing green technology and green industries as new engines for growth, so as to pursue the harmonized development of the economy and environment and to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of every citizen and the take-off to a mature, top-class, advanced country that shall fulfill its responsibility in international community through the realization of a low-carbon society. Article 9 (National Strategy for Low Carbon, Green Growth) (1) The Government shall establish and enforce the national strategy for low carbon, green growth, which shall include the targets of the State s policies for low carbon, green growth, the strategy for promotion, and main tasks of promotion. Article 9 (Basic Principles for Coping with Climate Change) 2. It shall establish the State s medium and long-term targets for the reduction of greenhouse gases by analyzing costs of and benefits from the reduction of greenhouse gases in the economic aspect and taking domestic and overseas conditions into consideration and promote the reduction of greenhouse gases efficiently and systematically by introducing a cost-effective, reasonable regulation system based on pricing functions and market system 5. It shall be prepared against natural disasters on a large scale and changes in environmental ecosystem and the status of crops, minimize impacts of climate change, and protect the safety and property of citizens from such dangers and disaster. 9

25 4 Our Achievements/Challenges & Suggestions for Others GHG emissions Trend : Achievements? 25

26 4 Our Achievements/Challenges & Suggestions for Others (1) T/D modeling for projection at national level B/U modeling for P&Ms analysis - Several different ways of projection and target setting with macro variables like pop., gdp.. and T/D modeling can play a critical role for checking ex-ante future emissions trajectory - But, no implications on technologies (e.g. electric car) and weak at how to - Alignment between the two and try to develop most likely scenarios with various feasible sectoral P&Ms (2) Selection of indicators (Accuracy in GHG reduction or GHG reduction potential?) - Selection of indicators first depends on current data availability or future data collection plan - But, in most cases, very limited P&Ms indicator-related national or relevant stats. have been collected previously and data collection needs a lot of financial and human resources - Focus on physical, tangible evidences (something countable, measurable) and then, estimate GHG impacts () Sustainable and systematic P&M-level data collection for evaluation - Activity data, Technology (stock, lifetime, efficiency..) data, Cost data, GHG data, and etc.. (e.g. LED bulbs) - But, those are too much at the beginning and it will take a long time to build such a system - Start from macro-level evaluation regularly (biennially then annually) thru national level inventory compilation & projection - Do cooperate with domestic project operators to deal with micro-level data (CDM projects?) and try to strengthen your ownership and train local experts as many as possible! 26
