South Korea must double carbon cuts to live up to its international climate obligations: report
13 May 2020
South Korea must double its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to fulfil its obligation under the Paris climate agreement, our new report shows.

Vulnerable countries are characterised by a large population, political exclusion of particular ethnic groups, and low development. The study combines global statistical analysis, observation data and regional case study assessments to yield new evidence for policy-makers.
