OBJECTIVE
Along with the COVID-19 response, the international community is currently discussing various strategies for achieving carbon neutrality as an effective means of responding to the climate crisis. With the arrival of the new climate system (post 2020), major countries around the world are setting greenhouse gas reduction goals and putting forth all-out efforts to transform the whole society into a carbon-neutral structure. Along with policies to impose carbon costs, such as carbon taxes and emission trading systems, the transition of countries that grew up with high-carbon industries based on fossil fuels to low-carbon industries has been a hot topic not only in the international community but also in Asian countries. The international conference, titled "Challenges and Opportunities for Regional Science in the Age of Carbon Neutrality", is expected to serve as a cornerstone for East Asian countries to understand how the mind-set and value system based on the existing economic and social system faced new changes to deal with the crisis of climate change across places, cities, and regions.
TOPICS
