Abstract

The world adopted the Paris Agreement, in which all countries agreed to share the responsibility for responding to and adapting to climate change. However, according to the Paris Agreement, the responsibility is differentially burdened by each country in consideration of its capabilities. In this regard, Korea should also share appropriate responsibilities. Therefore, I reviewed the energy-related plans and policies of the previous and current governments in Korea. Then, it was examined whether Jeollanam-do, which has sufficient conditions for renewable energy production, systematically responded to the climate crisis, while revising laws and regulations that matched regional characteristics. Jeollanam-do is the best place for the renewable energy industry because it has superior renewable energy resources compared to other local governments, such as solar power generation with abundant sunshine, offshore wind power generation with excellent wind resources off the coast of Shinan, and tidal power generation due to strong currents in Jindo. However, due to the acceptability of local residents, renewable energy generation projects are not being carried out smoothly. Therefore, by reviewing renewable energy-related ordinances in other regions, various directions for improving renewable energy-related ordinances in Jeollanam-do were presented. In particular, in relation to the direction of amendment of the ordinance, emphasis was placed on profit sharing and ensuring procedural participation of local residents to increase the acceptance of local residents. In addition, a revision of the law was proposed to guarantee the right to participate in the actual procedural process.
