Abstract

One of the biggest issues receiving attention recently on a global scale is climate change. In the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to maintain the average annual temperature increase of the Earth below 2°C to cope with climate change, and to this end, it was decided to establish and implement goals and strategies for each country. Consequently, carbon neutrality movements have been identified in Korea, with Busan serving as a prime example. As one of the cities with the highest carbon emissions among the world's major port cities, Busan has set a goal of reducing carbon by 47% compared to 2018. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to first calculate the carbon emission of the tourism industry in Busan through a top-down method to achieve carbon neutrality. Second, we intend to derive comparisons and implications for each industry through the calculated carbon emission. As a result of the study, it was found that about 690,000 tCO2eq was emitted as of 2015 when building an inventory and calculating carbon emissions through the Busan tourism satellite account. By single inventory, “wholesale and retail and product brokerage services” were the highest at 24.5%, followed by “road transportation services” at 19.8%, and “air transportation services” at 19.6%. The implication of this study is that carbon emission calculation using the top-down method laid the groundwork for a future study on carbon emission calculation using the bottom-up method. In addition, it is believed that reflecting industrial characteristics when establishing policies based on the results of calculating carbon emissions by industry can contribute to more realistic policy formation.
