□ 김황식 국무총리는 8일(현지시간) 덴마크 코펜하겐에서 개최된 제2차 글로벌녹색성장포럼(Global Green Growth Forum, 10.8- 9)개막연설을 통해 “한국은 기후변화협약의 대의를 달성하기 위해 최선의 노력을 다해왔고 이제 개도국, 신흥경제국, 선진국간 간극을 메꿈으로써 남다른 기여를 하기 위해 녹색기후기금(GCF) 사무국을 한국에 유치하고자 한다”고 밝혔다. 

o GCF는 개도국의 온실가스 감축과 기후변화 적응을 지원하는 최초의 기후변화 특화기금(1000억불 규모)이다. 김총리는 “한국은 이미 전략과 기술을 각각 담당하는 글로벌녹색성장연구소(GGGI)와 녹색기술센터(GTC)를 갖추고 있어 한국이 GCF 사무국을 유치하게 되면 전략, 기술, 자본의 시너지 효과를 창출할 그린 트라이앵글(Green Triangle)을 구성할 수 있다”고 강조했다. 

o GCF는 2010년 16차 기후변화협약 당사국총회에서 합의돼 2020년까지 1000억불의 장기재원을 선진국 등의 공공재원, 민간 재원으로 조달할 계획이다. 현재 GCF사무국 유치를 위해 한국 독일 스위스 멕시코 폴란드 등 6개국이 경쟁 중이며 오는 11.26- 12.7 도하에서 열리는 제 18차 기후변화협약당사국 총회에서 최종 인준된다. 우리나라는 인천 송도의 I타워 15개층을 임대지원을 약속하며 사무국을 유치하려고 노력중이다. 

o 아울러 김 총리는 우리 정부 주도로 설립되어 오는 10.23 창립회의를 개최하고 국제기구로 출범하는 글로벌녹색성장연구소(GGGI)에 대한 지원 또한 당부했다.

□ 김총리가 개막연설을 한 글로벌녹색성장포럼(3GF)은 2011년 5월 이명박 대통령의 덴마크 국빈방문 계기에 덴마크 정부가 ‘글로벌 공공- 민간 파트너쉽’으로 발족하여 2011년 10월 제1차 포럼을 개최하였다. 한국 및 멕시코 정부가 주요 파트너이며 환경 기후 분야의 다보스 포럼을 지향하고 있다.

Your Excellency, Ms. Helle Thorning- Schmidt, Prime Minister of Denmark,

Excellencies,

Distinguished Participants,

I am very honored to be here to witness and celebrate with all of you the remarkable advance and spread of green growth. 

To date, green growth has certainly become an exemplary strategy to simultaneously address climate change and achieve economic growth. 

In the course of pursuing green growth, the Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of Demark have further consolidated our relations. 

During President Lee Myung- bak’s state visit to Denmark last year, our two countries established the Green Growth Alliance, an alliance based on common perception of the problem, common sense of direction and common view for the future. 

This has led our two countries to collaborate, beyond the bilateral level, on a global scale by initiating the Global Green Growth Forum and through our partnership in the Global Green Growth Institute.

I would like to take this opportunity to convey my sincere congratulations to the Danish government for having successfully organized the second 3GF meeting. 

 한국의 자원효율성(금번 3GF 주제) 추진 성과

Distinguished participants, 

The main theme of this forum, “Resource Efficiency,” is very relevant and timely. 

It is not by chance that “Resource Efficiency” has been referred to as the fifth energy source. 

It represents a realistic but powerful measure for addressing resource exhaustion, mitigating climate change and, ultimately, contributing to the achievement of green growth.

The implementation of resource efficiency, of course, requires concerted efforts of all stake- holders, including governments, companies, and civil societies. 

In this sense, let me take this opportunity to discuss with you the efforts each stake- holder is making in Korea in order to improve resource efficiency.

The Korean government has included resource efficiency as a major element in its green growth policies. The Korean Presidential Committee on Green Growth, which I chair, worked out the 'Five- year National Plan for Green Growth' and the 'Roadmap for 27 Core Green Technologies' with much emphsis on this element.

Moreover, the government has set up the 'Energy Efficiency Bureau' in the Ministry of Knowledge Economy in order to coordinate relevant national efforts.

In response to these government initiatives, Korean companies have been exerting many efforts on their part to develop a wide range of energy efficient technologies.

These include LEDs, secondary batteries, low emission green cars, eco- friendly buildings and smart grids. 

Many of them are now more than prototypes and are applied at an industrial and commercial scale.

Also, Korean companies have taken considerable efforts in cooperation with the government to develop Eco- Industrial Parks where one industry's waste stream can be used as raw materials by another.

All of these efforts on the part of the government and companies are being supported by enhanced public consciousness on resource efficiency. 

Increasing number of our citizens are adopting a low- carbon green lifestyle. 

Carbon labels are found on almost all products, while many citizens are now familiar with green cards and green stores.

I am happy to discuss with you all these efforts we are making in Korea. At the same time, I look forward to learning more from you about your efforts, achievements and best practices for improving resource efficiency. 

 GGGI 국제기구 출범 및 GCF  사무국 유치노력 소개

귀빈 여러분,  이제 저는 국가 차원에서 글로벌 차원으로 눈을 돌려 보고자 합니다.  녹색성장의 주요 요소인 자원효율성 제고는 국내적으로 뿐 아니라 全지구적인 노력과 제도를 통해, 바로 3GF와 GGGI와 같은 수단을 통해, 추진되어야 하는 사안입니다.  저는 3GF와 GGGI가 녹색성장을 전파하는 글로벌 메카니즘으로서 잘 작동하고 있는 것에 대해 대단히 만족스럽지 않을 수 없습니다. 특히 GGGI는 오는 10월 23일에 17개 서명국들이 서울에 모여 창립회의를 개최하고, 명실상부한 국제기구로 전환될 예정입니다.  이 기회를 빌어 GGGI의 비젼과 사명에 뜻을 같이 해온 국가들에 대해 사의를 표하며, GGGI 성공을 위해 여러분의 계속적인 지지를 기대합니다.  특히 저는 3GF가 GGGI와 더욱 긴밀히 공조하기를 기대합니다. 가령 GGGI가 내년 개최될 3GF에서  개도국에서의 녹색성장 민관협력 모범사례에 대한 분과회의를 개최하면 모두에게 큰 도움이 될 것입니다. 글로벌 메카니즘에 대한 논의의 맥락에서, 작년 말 더반에서 개최된 제17차 기후변화당사국회의에서 합의된 녹색기후기금(GCF)에 대해서 잠시 말씀드리고자 합니다. 한국은 기후변화협약의 대의를 달성하기 위해 최선의 노력을 다하고 있으며, 나아가 개도국, 신흥경제국, 선진국간 간극을 메꿈으로써 남다른 기여를 할 수 있다고 믿고 있습니다.  한국이 GCF 사무국을 유치하고자 하는 것도 바로 이러한 이유 때문입니다.  종종 우리는 정책과 기술과 자본을 함께 투입하여 얻게 되는 시너지 효과에 대해 말하곤 합니다.  한국은 이미 전략과 기술을 각각 담당하는 GGGI와 녹색기술센터(GTC)를 갖추고 있습니다.  이제 한국이 GCF 사무국을 유치하게 되면 전략, 기술, 자본의 시너지 효과를 창출할 Green Triangle을 구성할 수 있습니다.

Distinguished participants, 

Let me now turn my perspective from national to global level.

Resource efficiency, a crucial element for Green Growth, is an agenda that should be addressed not only domestically but also through global efforts and mechanisms, such as this 3GF and the GGGI.

I am very pleased to observe that these global mechanisms to promote Green Growth are in good working order. 

The Global Green Growth Institute will be converted into a full- fledged international organization with its 17 founding member countries participating in the inaugural meeting to be held in Seoul on 23 October. 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all like- minded countries who share the vision and commitment of the GGGI, and would also like to request your continued support for its success.

In particular, I hope the 3GF will work more closely with the GGGI. For instance, it would be excellent for all of us if the GGGI hold a session in the 3GF next year to share its best practices to promote public- private partnership for green growth in developing countries. 

Talking about global mechanisms, let me turn briefly to the Green Climate Fund agreed upon at the 16th Conference of Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change which was held in Cancun in 2010. 

우선 한국정부는  자원효율성을 녹색성장정책의 주요 요소로서 포함하였습니다.  제가 위원장을 맡고 있는 녹색성장위원회가  ‘녹색성장 5개년 계획'과 ‘27대 중점 녹색기술 로드맵’을 수립할 때도 자원효율성에 대해 많은 비중을 두기도 하였습니다. 그리고 에너지효율성 제고에 관한 제반 사항을 총괄하는 ‘에너지절약추진단’을 지식경제부 내에 설치하였습니다. 이러한 정부 노력에 부응하여,  한국의 기업들은 에너지 저감 기술을 개발하기 위해  적극 동참하고 있습니다.  LED, 2차전지, 저공해 그린카, 친환경 건축, 스마트 그리드 등 많은 기술은 이미 구상 단계를 넘어  실제 산업적, 상업적으로 활용되고 있습니다.  또한, 어떤 기업의 폐기물이 다른 기업에게 원료로 사용되는 생태산업단지를 조성하는 데도  기업과 정부가 적극 협력하고 있습니다.  이러한 정부와 기업의 노력과 더불어,  시민들도 자원효율성 문제에 관해 더욱 잘 인식하고,  저탄소 녹색생활을 실천해 나가는 중입니다. 이제 탄소성적표지가 거의 모든 제품에 붙어 있고, 많은 시민들이 그린카드나 녹색유통매장을 익숙하게 이용하고 있는 것입니다.  저는 이렇게 한국이 취하고 있는 노력에 대해 여러분과 나눌 수 있게 된 것을 기쁘게 생각하며,  저 또한 여러분께서 자원효율성을 제고하기 위해 취하고 있는 노력과 그 성과 그리고 모범사례에 대해 더 많이 알 수 있게 되기를 바랍니다.

Korea is firmly committed to the cause of the Climate Change Convention and believes that it can make a unique contribution as a bridge among developing, emerging and advanced economies. 

It is in line with such a commitment and belief that Korea now wishes to host the Secretariat of the GCF. 

We often talk about synergy we can get from putting together policy, technology and finance. 

We already have the GGGI and the Green Technology Center in Korea, standing for policy and technology, respectively.

If we can host the GCF Secretariat in Korea, we will be able to complete the green triangle which will create synergy of policy, technology and finance.

 맺음말 : 3GF 성과 기대

Excellencies,

Distinguished Participants,

It was only last month that President Lee Myung- bak came to visit this beautiful country and Greenland. 

One of the things President Lee observed in Greenland, unfortunately, was the unmistakable signs of the climate change in progress. 

It falls upon all of us to slow and stop such a progress. 

Let me conclude by expressing my hope that the ideas and commitments emerging from our discussions at this second 3GF will inspire us to take concrete actions to cope with this global challenge together and achieve ‘The Future We Want' for us, for our children and the generations to come. 

Thank you very much!

❏ 질문 ( ※ Angel Gurria OECD 사무총장 )

경제위기인 상황에서 녹색성장 창출방안에 대한 의견은?

❏ 답변 ( ※ 모두 발언은 영어로 1～2분 진행 )

(앙헬 구리아 OECD 사무총장님,) 경제위기 중 녹색성장 창출 방안에 대해 제 의견을 말씀드릴 기회를 주셔서 감사합니다. 

위기 속에서 녹색성장은 여타 새로운 정책방안들과 마찬가지로 급히 요구되는 다른 것들로 인해 추동력이 약화되기 쉬운 게 사실입니다. 

그러나 녹색성장 전략은 지속가능하고 포용적인 성장을 제고함으로써 경제위기에 대응할 수 있는 선제적, 적극적 전략이라고 생각합니다.

즉, 녹색성장은 경제위기로 인해 재고될 것이 아니라 경제위기를 타개하기 위한 과감한 전략으로서 추진되어야 한다는 것입니다.

여러분도 잘 알다시피, 세계경제위기 중임에도 불구하고 녹색성장은 G20과 OECD과 같은 주요 국제무대에서 중요한 어젠다로 논의되어 왔습니다. 

또한 한국의 경우, 경기부양과 미래투자를 겸한 ‘그린 뉴딜 정책’을 시행하여 75만명의 일자리를 창출함으로써 위기 극복에 일조하는 등 녹색성장은 유용한 경제위기 극복 처방이었습니다.

녹색성장은 새로운 성장 패러다임으로서 우리 후세를 위해서도 적극적으로 추진되어야 합니다. 

그것은 일시적인 위기로 말미암는 당장의 필요와 결코 타협되어서는 안 되며, 장기적인 시각에서 추진되어야 하는 것입니다.

위기는 항상 위험과 함께 기회를 내포하고 있다고들 합니다. 

어떤 이들은 위기 중에서 녹색성장을 추진하는 것이 위험하다고 말할지 모르지만, 저는 녹색성장이 지속가능한 경제성장을 달성할 수 있는 기회라고 봅니다.

이번 회의를 통해 경제위기 속에서 녹색성장을 창출하기 위한 다양한 통찰과 제안들이 많이 개진되기를 바랍니다. 감사합니다.
