Abstract

The global energy landscape is undergoing aseismic shift. As nations move to adopt low-carboneconomies, the focus of policies designedto achieve this have extended beyond climatechange mitigation: the new energy landscapehas become host to a strategic race amongnations to dominate the new energy frontier.Amid this race, South Korea, heavily reliant onimported fossil fuels and emissions-intensiveindustries, finds itself at a crossroads. Striking abalance between economic growth and aggressivedecarbonization is critical. Korea must notonly curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions butalso cultivate a domestic renewable energy industryas a new engine of economic growth. Thank you for reading this abstract of a paper by the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade! We are South Korea's premier think tank studying the nexus where trade and industry intersect. http://www.kiet.re.kr/en https://www.ssrn.com/index.cfm/en/korea-inst-industrial-econ-trade-res/
