Abstract

Under the high-growth policy in the 1960s, environmental pollution and ecosystem destruction have been extensively progressed by vigorous business activities focused on increasing productivity and reckless development. Specially, the climate change issue is one of the areas that receive the most attention in the world. Korea is expected to be included in regulation of greenhouse gas within a few years and our government has prepared various response strategies. First of all, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas and the conversion of awareness by general public should be preceded to achieve continuous control of the speed of global warming in a long-term point of view. Legal support is an essential element for good performance. Legal countermeasures are as follows. First, existing laws(environment, energy, construction, transportation etc.) should be legislated and amended in the direction toward a response for climate change and reduction of greenhouse gases. Second, energy efficiency of buildings and structures need to be raised. In the short term, legal obligation on display of energy rating for new buildings and constructions must be charged. In the long term, it should be expanded to all buildings. Third, Utilization of public transportations and non-motorized vehicles by general public is activated and legislation for low-pollution of private cars and public transportations should be reorganized. Also, tax system related with transportation should be changed based on carbon dioxide emissions. Fourth, display of energy rate for electronics products available at home should be expanded. Eco-labelling program, forcing display of greenhouse gas emission per hour, should be introduced and government should prepare plans to give tax benefits to consumers purchasing Eco-labeling products. Fifth, legislation to promote of Carbon point that personal of the family can participate directly in reduction of greenhouse gas is required. Sixth, education and promotion for general public, especially students are one of the most important things in the implementation to reduce greenhouse gas by stages. Thus, law related with environmental education should be complemented to practice systematic education that is differentiated by age. Finally, the legislation and revision of laws to reduce greenhouse gases must consider the care of low-income families and the limit area to impose legal obligations should use inducement strategies. In other words, it is an incentive or tax benefit that can draw voluntary participation.
