Vice President, TTA
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Climate Changes in Korea
Slowly changing temperature climate to
subtropical climate
Southern sea temperature of Korea has been
risen by 2°C over the last 30 years
In 2100, temperature is expected to rise
by 4°C and rainfall by 20%.
Korea was ranked 10th among the largest
CO2 emissions countries
Korea will implement the “Kyoto Protocol”
compulsorily during the second commitment
period (2013~2017)
Fostering worldwide interoperability

Highlight of Current Activities(1/8)
“Green Growth Commission” in Korea
Government has announced “National
Strategy for Green ICT” in May 2009
Objectives of the Strategy:
Selection of Green ICT technology as New
Growth Engine;
* Global Green ICT Market : $0.5bn(’08)  $4.8bn(‘13)
Accelerating transition into Low Carbon Society
converged with ICT services;
Strengthening counter capacity for Climate
Change based on ICT technology.
Fostering worldwide interoperability
