As frequent natural disasters are under the influence of climate change, there is a growing interest of the international community in the issues of climate change. The United Nations makes efforts to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases regarded as the main culprit of global warming, by 50% by 2050 in relation to 1990 levels. In responding to the efforts of the international community for greenhouse gas reduction, our government set the 30% reduction target in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the national greenhouse gas emission projections of 2020 (BAU) and established measures for the reduction plan. However, objective evaluation criteria for the greenhouse gas reduction commitments are still absent. Therefore, this study intended to derive correlations among greenhouse gas emissions projections for each of the local governments, greenhouse gas reduction obligations of the year and actually reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Also, represented in carbon reduction indices, the results enabled the extent of the greenhouse gas reduction commitments made by the country and local governments to be determined, and the comparison and evaluation for the reduction target to be performed. |
