The video discusses the effects of climate change on daily life and health, including damage to fruit crops, flooding, and health issues. Scientists warn of a catastrophic global temperature rise by 2040, 10 years earlier than predicted. The report highlights coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and increased typhoons, particularly affecting Busan. The government's carbon reduction plan is criticized for not meeting IPCC recommendations. The IPCC's 6th Comprehensive Report emphasizes the need for immediate global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and IPCC Chairman Lee Hoe-seong calls for recognizing the climate crisis as an economic issue. Korea's response plan will be announced.
Sure, here are the key facts extracted from the provided text:
1. Fruit crops ruined by cold weather, basements flooded by heavy rain, and children coughing due to fine dust are effects of climate change impacting daily lives and health.
2. Scientists and representatives worldwide warn that the global temperature could rise catastrophically by 2040, 10 years earlier than initially predicted, without active efforts.
3. Signs of a climate disaster, such as coastal erosion and flooding, are becoming evident.
4. Sea levels have risen by 9.2 cm in Busan over the past 33 years, with predictions of coastal areas, including Gangseo-gu, being submerged by 2100.
5. Strong typhoons and rising temperatures increase the risk of large-scale waves and flooding in coastal cities, with estimated annual damage of 9 trillion won in Busan alone by 2100.
6. The rate of sea level rise in Korea, including Busan, is expected to accelerate, reaching an average of up to 82 cm in 70 years.
7. To combat the climate crisis, greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced.
8. The government has released a plan related to carbon neutrality, including increasing the number of nuclear power plants.
9. The national greenhouse gas reduction target is 40% reduction by 2030, with lower reductions set for the industrial sector.
10. Major industries in Korea, including petrochemicals, steel, semiconductors, and cement, emit more than 70% of the total carbon emissions.
11. To overcome trade barriers like Europe's carbon border tax, Korea needs to improve carbon reduction technology.
12. The government plans to invest 900 billion won in the development of carbon reduction technology.
13. The 6th Comprehensive Report by the IPCC strengthens the need for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030.
14. The report emphasizes the importance of reducing fossil fuels, expanding renewable energy, and using carbon capture technology.
15. IPCC Chairman Lee Hoe-seong calls for immediate action from each country to address the climate crisis.
16. The climate crisis is recognized as a national economic problem that requires global cooperation.
17. Immediate action within the next 10 years is crucial to address the climate crisis effectively.
18. A carbon reduction implementation plan for Korea's climate crisis response will be announced.
