Abstract
The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) in Korea is the National Designated Entity (NDE) of Korea for technologyBRcollaboration home and abroad under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). To facilitate global climate technology cooperation and diffuse Korean climate technologies abroad, the MSIT as an NDE established three strategic plans for global climate technology cooperation in 2015, 2016, and 2018. Currently, ahead of the year 2021 when the Paris Agreement is to be implemented, the MSIT is planning to revise the existent 2018 strategic plan. In the revision process, the most important factor is to reflect the Paris rule book, which was drawn out in December 2018 and will act as guidelines for implementation of the Paris Agreement. For the specific implementation rule on technology development and transfer, this Paris rule book elaborated the technology framework. Therefore, this paper attempts to explore a way to better revise the existing plan by reflecting the essential points of the technology framework in terms of global cooperation on climate technology. For this, a life-cycle approach for technology transfer projects was utilized as an analytical tool to extract essential points from the technology framework in four major stages of i) technology matching, ii) project planning, iii) project implementation, and iv) project evaluation. Another essential element that applies to all four stages is the active role of an intermediary organization. With this stage-based analytical frame, the technology framework is analyzed to extract essential elements for global climate technology cooperation in new climate regime. Second, analysis is undertaken on whether the extracted elements are included in the MSIT’s existing strategic plans and put into practice. Third, policy suggestions are made for Korea’s future national strategy for global climate technology cooperation. This paper concludes with some research limitations and additional research prospects.
