Abstract

This Paper aims to find a desirable image of ‘Green Growth’ and to review ‘Green Growth and the Countermeasure of Energy Legislative System’. In August 2008, President Lee Myung-bak presented ‘Low Carbon Green Growth’ vision for the next 60 years. President Lee said that ‘Low Carbon Green Growth’ would provide a strong source of growth once the current global economic crisis improves. ‘MB government’ announced various plan for green growth since then. The Presidential Committee on Green Growth outlined a plan to boost the country's green industry, green technology and energy-saving. A key feature of the plan is the legislation of a 「Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth」. But this act has been problems which include a legislative system, administrative procedures problems, definition of “Low Carbon”, “Green Growth”, “Sustainable Development”, upbringing of nuclear energy industry, upbringing of four major rivers maintenance, etc. First of all, we have to study on the Relationship between ‘Green Growth’ and ‘Sustainable Development’. In this act, Green Growth means ‘strategy of economic growth’ on Energy-saving and environmentally friendly measures. Green Growth has to understand as a new strategy for sustainable development, to include economic development, environmental protection, and social equity. For the green growth plan to be successful, public participation and supp ort are essential. Now, we should have a new understanding of the Low Carbon Green Growth. On the basis of this understanding, we should review the Countermeasure of Energy Legislative System.
