Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center of Korea (GIR) annually has hosted the International Greenhouse Gas Conference (IGC*) since 2010. The conference aims to offer a valuable platform where domestic and international experts may share the most updated knowledge on climate changes.
* Previously, International Modeling Conference (IMC)
This year's conference is made up of two parts.
Main Session will cover "Key Policy Instruments toward Carbon Neutrality". As the global trend and implications of Key Policy Instruments toward
Carbon Neutrality has attracted public attention recently, three experts from abroad will share the latest strategies on European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) & Climate related Disclosure. And with the theme, three experts from home will discuss the policy direction of Korea’s response.
Side Event is linked to 12th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)-GIR-Climate Action and Support Transparency Training (CASTT) Programme on Greenhouse Gas (GHG). During this event, six trainees will provide an overview of their national GHG inventory status, share experiences and discuss challenges in the development of inventories in respective countries.
From the conference, we expect to provide innovative solutions which may address the environmental challenges faced by governments, public institutions, non-profit organizations, academia, and business sectors. And we are looking forward to share perspectives and understanding on 2050 Carbon Neutrality and Enhanced Transparency Framework between advanced countries and developing countries.
