4 Low Carbon Green Growth Statement A vision statement on low carbon green growth made by president Lee ( ), followed by his attendance on G8 High level Talks Green Growth promotes a sustainable growth... and a new paradigm generating dynamics of growth and creating new jobs. (15. Aug. 2009) Green represents more than environment, and Growth is complements environment For us, Low-Carbon Green Growth is not an option, but an imperative. (29. Aug. 2009) 3

5 Organizational Readiness In 2009, Presidential Committee on Green Growth started for low carbon green growth policies Chairman Prime Minister & nongovernmental delegates Appointed Members (28) incl. Committee Members(17) Administered by Senior Secretary to the President for State Affairs Planning Council for Management Committee of Green Growth and Industry (9) Committee of Climate Change and Energy (10) Committee of Green Life and Sustainable Development (9) 4

6 Regulatory Readiness Presidential Committee on Green Growth established National Strategy and Five Year Plan for Green Growth with three strategies and ten guidelines. (July. 2009) VISION Become 7 th Competitive Green Country until 2020, and 5 th in 2050 Strategies & Guidelines Climate Change Adaptation & Energy Independence Generating New Growth Dynamics Improving Quality of Life & National Prestige 1. Reducing greenhouse gas emission 2. Achieving energy independence & reducing oil dependency 3. Climate Change Adaptation 4. Stimulate green tech. for growth dynamics 5. Encourage green tech applications and green industry 6. Industrial reorganization 7. Constructing green economy infrastructures and frameworks 8. Green land and transportation 9. Innovative changes in living conditions and circumstances 10. Becoming a model country for green industry 5

7 Regulatory Readiness Concerning Green Land & Transportation, five strategies were developed for establishing a constituency of green growth Strength Weakness Directions Strategies Regulatory reorganization & R&D works are under way Applications & convergence of IT & green growth are in blast (U-Eco city) Public funding on energy saving buildings (green home) Promotes and supports sustainable transportation (bicycle) Municipalities poor appreciation on green land and transportation Uncertainty of effectiveness of resources to be taken Inappropriate weather and natural conditions for bicycle rides Low carbon green growth infrastructure for reducing greenhouse gas by reorganizing spatial structures and landscapes. Physical and institutional reorganization (eco spaces, programs, promotions..) Green Land & City Enlarged Eco Space As in initial stage, high effectiveness is expected when actions taken As with experiences in ecofriendly new town planning, mgmt. and operation will be expected to be highly effective (with less errors). Unproven technologies & techniques National consensus on the government policies: people s p willingness or sympathy towards the policies Establishing standards for energyeffective green buildings, and promoting the constructions. Transforming the transportation system to low-carbon green system. Green Constructions Green Transportation Opportunity Threat Establishing a constitution for bicycle-friendly transportation environment and system. Bicycle Riding Sustainable Transportation 6

8 Carbon Reduction Goals Presidential Committee on Green Growth set the reduction goal (2020) of greenhouse gas Unit: million tons Alt. 1 Alt. 2 Alt. 3 Reduction Scenarios Aims 21% reduction against 2020 BAU Alt. (8% 1 higher than 2005 emission level) Expand green home/buidings High efficiency product incl. LED Transform transportation system to lower emission High efficient process in industry Promote renewable & nuclear energy industry % % Aims 25% reduction against 2020 BAU Alt. ( emission level) Focuses on hybrid vehicles & CO2 collection with same strategies suggested by Alt Aims 30% reduction against 2020 BAU (4% lowered from 2005 emission level) Alt. Focuses 3 on electric vehicles and high efficient products with same strategies suggested by Alt

9 Low Carbon Green Growth Act Low Carbon Green Growth Act takes into effect 13th April, 2010 Supports business transformation to climate change or energy industry Comprehensive definition on green concept including land, city, buildings, transformation and lifestyle. Merges Energy Acts(Energy Use Law, Recycle Energy Promotion Law, Sustainable Development Act, Climate Change Act Aims to transform the current fossil fuel oriented economic system Pursues economic growth with environmental imrovements Overview Suggests duties for central municipal governments, businesses and individuals Enforced prior to other laws Policies and administration of central and municipal governments comply with this act & National Green Growth Strategies altogether Establishment of a special presidential advisory group, Green Growth Board Enforcement of plans on green economic growth, climate changes, energy and sustainable growth (20 year plans revised every 5 years) Promotes green management of businesses, eco friendly taxation, tax cut on green businesses, GHG reduction Cope with climate change & manage energy consumption for contribution to global GHG reduction efforts & setting long term yearly reduction goals Introduction of emission trading scheme; establishment of research center & green growth fund, national assembly discussion and penalty system 8

10 Urban Planning for Low Carbon Green Growth II 1. Urban Planning Guidelines II 2. Planning Cases 9

11 Ub Urban Planning Guidelines for Low Carbon Green Growth Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs announced Urban Planning Guidelines for Low Carbon Green Growth. (July, 2009) Deals with standards, evaluation, predictions and countermeasures concerning the application of low carbon green growth concepts to urban planning factors Overview Oe of MLTM s Urban Planning Guidelines es for Low Carbon Green Growth Institutional / regulatory foundation to deal with climate change influences on urban planning Reducing greenhouse gas by figuring out the current emission volumes Evaluating energy efficiency of plans on the land use unit basis Features : Time Frame Target Measurability Feasibility 10

12 Provisions i Objectives and Scopes Provide standards and guidelines for establishing Metropolitan Plan, Urban Comprehensive Plan and Urban Management Plan, so that the plans can deal with possible affects on from climate changes and can be compatible with central government s Low Carbon Green Growth objectives. Forces Metropolitan Plan, Urban Comprehensive Plan and Urban Management Plan to accommodate; Countermeasures against greenhouse gas emission and possible affects by climate change. Planning factors and devices to promote low carbon and green environment in accord with central government s Low Carbon Green Growth objectives. 11

13 Provisions i Principles Compatible with central government s Low Carbon Green Growth Objectives and relevant regulations (Comprehensive Plan for Climate Changes, Comprehensive Plan for Energy) Suggest systematical and comprehensive countermeasures against greenhouse gas emission and climate changes in terms of spatial structure, transportation system, natural resource conservation and environment management, energy, and open spaces. Represent measures to reduce and effectively use traditional energy so as to reduce greenhouse gas emission and settle energy saving development. Consider ways to ensure, supply and use new and renewable energy. Reflect locality in geographical and socio economic terms to relevant plans. 12

14 Seoul City Energy Consumption Consumed Approx. 1.6 M TOE in 2007 (approx. 9% of national consumption) Home & commerce and transportation accounted for 86% (Represents the importance of urban and transportation planning) Home & Commerce Public Use Public Use Industry Use Industry Use Transportation Home & Commerce Transportation < Nation > < Seoul > 13
