Trends in National Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals(1990-2018)
Energy sector accounts for around 86.9% of nation total emissions in 201852. Carbon Neutrality
Amended NDC (2023.4.10)• Establishment of the 2030 NDCs (Nationally Determined Contribution) (June 2015)
Established a goal to reduce by 37% from the Business As Usual(BAU) level (851 million tons), by 2030
• Amendment of the “Basic Roadmap to Accomplish the 2030 NDC(Nationally Determined Contribution)” (July 2018)
Increased domestic reduction (25.7%p → 32.5%p) in 37% from the BAU level• Amendment of the 2030 NDC (September 2020) and submission to the UNFCCC (December 2020)
Reduction by 37% from the BAU level by 2030 → (2030) Reduction by 24.4% from the 2017 levels (by 26.3% from 2018 levels)• Announcement of the 2030 NDC enhancement plan to the international community (’21.4 ~)• Announcement of the NDC enhancement plan as a follow-up measure of the 2050 carbon neutrality declaration (October 2020)• Operation of the Technical Working Group in preparation for the NDC enhancement plan and revision by the relevant government
departments (~ August 2021)
Utilized the Technical Working Group* that was established for scenario preparation and discussed with relevant government
departments to set goals in order to align NDC with the net-zero Scenarios• The minimum NDC standard (at least 35% from 2018 levels) is stipulated in the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality and Green
Growth (FACNGG) (August 2021)• Establishment of the NDC enhancement plan, considering the purpose of the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth,international trends, etc. (September through October 2021)
Reducing GHG emissions by 40% (291 million tons) from the 2018 levels (727.6 million tons)• Establishment of 1st national carbon neutral basic plan (Amendment of 2030 NDC, April 2023)
Reducing GHG emissions by 40% (291 million tons), Adjustment sub-sector targets considering possibility of implementation bymeasures
