Presentation and Panel Discussion at the Side Event of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change / Park Ye-ji (Master's Program, Department of Climate Technology Convergence, Graduate School, 24), Lee Yong-ju (Doctoral Program, 24)
Students from the Department of Climate Technology Convergence at Kookmin University's Graduate School of General Studies participated as presenters and panelists at the side events of the Conference of the Parties (COP 29) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to November 22.
At this side event, various public, private, and academic experts from Kookmin University, international organizations related to carbon sinks (Green Climate Fund (GCF)), international research institutes (International Center for Forest Research (CIFOR-ICRAF), International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)), Korea Forest Promotion Institute, Solomon Islands government (Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management, and Meteorology), and industry (US company CYCLOPS) participated to discuss 'Achieving NDCs through global forest cooperation based on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: REDD+ and tropical carbon sinks' was the theme of the presentations and panel discussions.
Yeji Park, a master's student in the Department of Climate Technology Convergence (supervised by Chulhee Lim), gave a presentation on “Korea's Academic Efforts to Achieve National NDC Targets and Promote Tropical Carbon Sinks through REDD+”. The presentation introduced the research on the implementation of the REDD+ project, which is being conducted by Kookmin University, and the joint research on tropical carbon sinks, and presented the educational system and direction of Kookmin University for fostering global climate talent.
In addition, Dr. Lee Yong-ju, a doctoral student in the Department of Climate Technology Convergence (supervised by Dr. Lee Chang-bae), participated in a panel discussion on the topic of “The Importance of Developing MRV Technology in Developing and Developed Countries for REDD+,” leading an active discussion with related experts. It is noteworthy that Kookmin University students led the discussion with international experts.
In addition to the side event, students from the Department of Climate Technology Convergence have been observing major climate change negotiations, such as the 'Paris Agreement Article 6 Detailed Guidelines' and the 'Loss & Damage Fund', which were key issues at this Conference of the Parties, to see the latest international negotiation trends and the role of national delegations.
The Department of Climate Technology Convergence, which performed well at this side event, is a collaborative course (master's and doctoral) between departments that aims to develop comprehensive talent in climate change, including technology, science policy, and international cooperation. From 2023, it will be selected as a specialized graduate school for carbon sinks designated by the Korea Forest Service.
