In 2021, the ‘Paris Climate Change Convention’ which is a new climate change regime will be launched. In the case of the Paris Climate Change Convention, it is appraised as the very first global climate agreement, in that all 195 member countries have agreed to participate in the reduction of greenhouse gases. The main goal of the Paris Climate Change Convention is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by preventing indiscriminate use of fossil fuel, so that the goal of global warming suppression can be maintained within 2℃ to 1.5℃ compared to the pre-Industrial Revolution level. Through this, it can be inferred that the economic and industrial structures we have experienced so far will significantly change, and therefore our youths will face considerably different structures in the future.
The Korea Educational Association for Empowerment of Software has chosen “Climate Change and Economy” as the topic of “The 5th Global Youth Environmental Essay Competition 2021”. Through this competition, they are hoping to provide a special opportunity for teenagers, who will become the leading players in the future, to seriously consider and explore the effects of climate change on future economic and industrial structure, social ramifications, roles of all walks of life as well as coping measures.
