□ Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements (President Kang Hyeon-soo) published a translation of 『The Global Code for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories: Calculation and Reporting Standards for Cities (Revision 9)』, which was planned as a 'Carbon Neutral' series, on September 5. .
◦ The Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements, a think tank that has been leading research in the field of land and supporting government policies, has published a series of 'World Territorial Books' that translates and introduces national land plans and regional development policies of various countries around the world, as well as Korea's national land and regional policies and national policies. It has been continuously planning and publishing a series of 'National Collections' on the theme of balanced development policies.
□ Cities play an important role in tackling the global climate crisis. Currently, about 75% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions come from cities, and this proportion is expected to continue to rise in the future.
□ The Global Code for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventory, published this time by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements, is a robust, transparent, and globally recognized system that enables cities and local governments to consistently identify, calculate, and report urban greenhouse gas emissions. provides
◦ Since it was first published in 2014, it has been used to calculate and report the emissions of cities around the world. could provide the necessary information.
◦ In 2020, more than half of the cities reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) used the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) or a methodology closely related to the GPC in developing their inventory. said.
□ It is a time when many cities are taking action to reduce emissions and strengthen climate resilience, and the global pandemic of COVID-19 is creating new demands on how governments work. It is expected that the 'Carbon Neutral' series curated by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements will provide our cities and those who support them with the global standard needed to track greenhouse gas reductions and prepare for the transition to a sustainable future.
