2. 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)

3. 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.

4. Highlight of Current Activities(2/8)
Green ICT Strategic Technology Areas:
Green ICT Basic technologies
- Implementation of infrastructure for Green ICT industry and environment
Green of ICT
- Development of low carbon technology to improve energy efficiency for the ICT products

- Energy saving and GHG reduction in IT-converged area by utilization of ICT technology 4

5. Highlight of Current Activities(3/8)
Green ICT Basic technologies:
Climate change monitoring and data quantification;
Energy monitoring and data interface;
GHG emission monitoring;
Measurement index on energy consumption of broadcasting and communication devices;
Observation system & methodology to secure reliable observation results. 5

6. Highlight of Current Activities(4/8)
Green of ICT:
CO2 emission from ICT is 2% of total global emission volume
Development of green ICT products;
- Low power high performance PC, monitor, server
20% reduction of energy consumption by 2020
Implementation of ICT environment with high performance, low power and low cost
- Virtualizing, Cloud computing, SaaS, etc.
