Abstract
Abstract A consumption based study on the carbon dioxide(CO 2 ) emission change due to the changes in the bovine meat consumption behavior in Korea was carried out. It was found that if the consumption of bovine meat be reduced by half, the reduction amount of CO 2 emissions be over 0.8 MtCO 2 e in all senarios in 2023. This amount is equivalent to over 50% of the greenhouse gases(GHGs) emission reduction target in agriculture and forestry, and fishery, a significant reduction. It was also found that the CO 2 emission reduction amount in consumption-based approach was the largest when the consumption of the imported bovine meat be reduced, though the difference was not that large. Key words : Meat consumption, Consumption-based approach, Carbon dioxide emission, National GHGs reduction target *Corresponding author.
