In relation to the global climate crisis, a new study has found that climate change will not be prevented even if the 2030 goal of reducing greenhouse gases barely agreed by the international community is met.

Right now, the pressure to reduce carbon appears to be getting stronger.



Environmental reporter Jang Se-man pointed it out.

The Siberian tundra, which used to be a land of four seasons.



Due to climate change, the frozen ground melted, creating huge holes everywhere.



The walrus also became a victim.



[Researcher, Maxim Ocean Research Institute: In the last 30 years, the area of ​​ice in the Northeast Arctic has decreased.

So, the resting places for walruses are very few during this time.]



The greenhouse gas emitted by mankind is the main culprit of the crisis.



Fortunately, the international community reached an agreement at the Glasgow Climate Conference last year to increase the amount of greenhouse gas reduction by 2030 compared to the existing plan.



However, a research report has come out that says implementing this agreement will not stop climate change.



The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that in order to keep the global temperature within 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, it is necessary to further reduce greenhouse gases by more than twice the current target.



If it rises above 1.5 degrees, it is difficult to return to the old climate.



Our goal of reducing carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 is likely to need to be raised even higher.



While there are still many opinions that the goal is too high and unrealistic, the pressure to increase reduction is expected to grow stronger at the G20 and the United Nations Climate Change Assembly in the second half of this week, starting with the G7 meeting this week.



[Joe Jae-cheol Choi / Co-CEO of the Climate Change Center: (Korea is the 4th largest country in the OECD based on per capita emissions), and it seems difficult to escape from international pressure, given the ongoing construction of coal power plants.]



If carbon reduction fails As international trade and investment are at a disadvantage, it is time to make various attempts to further reduce emissions.
