Special Feature: Carbon Neutral Economy, Leading Green Growth (2023)

The Earth is getting hotter! Over the past 200 years since the Industrial Revolution, the Earth's temperature has risen by about 1.09℃! Due to the climate crisis caused by rapid global warming, glacial areas are shrinking, and extreme weather events such as wildfires, typhoons, heatwaves, abnormal weather, severe droughts, and floods are occurring worldwide. The world has chosen the path of carbon neutrality with a target of 2050! South Korea has also closed its coal-fired power units 1 and 2, which had been in operation for 36 years, to seriously practice carbon neutrality. The problem is that regional economic stagnation is accelerating due to the closure of coal-fired power plants. In particular, South Chungcheong Province, where 29 out of 58 coal-fired power plants nationwide are concentrated, is facing a serious crisis. According to research, the decrease in production due to the closure of coal-fired power plants is estimated to be 19 trillion won, and the decrease in value creation is estimated to be 7.8 trillion won. Can carbon neutrality and economic growth truly coexist?
