Energy Perspectives of Korea (Republic of) with a General Outlook on Renewable Energy

Abstract

"As global warming has become a severe issue; the attention of world governments has started to shift towards the sustainable use of energy to reverse the previous mistakes. The main initiative in this regard was almost 200 nations agreeing, through the Paris Agreement, to undertake ambitious targets. However, these targets are not enough to deal with the expected global temperature rise. In this regard, Korea has introduced strict policies for a steep transition to renewable energy. The first step aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent through raising the ratio of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2030 by investing in solar and wind power plants."
