The International Greenhouse Gas Conference (IGC) hosted annually by the
Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center of Korea (GIR) aims to facilitate a
comprehensive review of the progress towards achieving the goals and targets of the
Paris Agreement and the outcomes of the Global Stocktake (GST), which is scheduled
to be conducted for the first time in 2023.
In previous years, IGC opened discussions on mitigation and implementation agenda
including 'NDC Implementation Plan', 'Carbon Market for the NDC Acheivement', and
'Carbon neutrality and SDGs’.
This year’s event will be focusing on the Global Stocktake which will be one of the key
deliveries for the upcoming COP28. International and domestic experts are invited to
discuss progress in consideration of GST and collaboratively examine efforts of each
country to achieve their NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions) targets by 2030.
By reviewing the implementation progress of the Paris Agreement on a global scale
and examining the status of each country's climate action, IGC will provide a
comprehensive platform that not only addresses global responses, but also assesses
the implementation status at the national level. Through this approach, participants will
be able to identify challenges and opportunities in each country's commitment towards
stronger climate action and encourage them to take necessary measures.
