International Cooperation East Asia Climate Partnership • Launched in July 2008 to support and cooperate with East Asian countries in their effort to improve climate change adaptation capacity and reduce GHG emissions one of a Korea’s channel of official development assistance (ODA) • Commit to provide a total of USD 200 million for five years (’08~’12) • Five priority areas : water resources management, waste management, new & renewable energy, green cities, forestation and biomass - implement climate change programs such as financial support, technical assistance and pilot projects - cooperate in partnerships with international organizations in UN and World Bank • Project example : Water management Landmark Project - demand for water resources and the need for securing clean water increase - they need a project that can provide the total solution for water management - it includes a resource management system, filtration plants, water supply facilities, sewage reuse, water ecosystem restoration and water quality monitoring systems.

• (’08) 17 key projects with 7 countries & 4 int’l organization, (’09) 18 new projects

III. Turning Grand Vision into Real Actions

International Cooperation Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) • President Lee announced the plan to establish GGGI at the UNFCCC in Copenhagen, which will be launched in June this year. • Board of directors is comprised of six directors chaired by Dr. Seung-soo Han, former prime minister of Korea. - Sir Nicholas Stern, professor of LSE, and Thomas Heller, professor of Stanford University participate as vice chairman.

• An independent institution designed to support countries in their effort to achieve strong economic development while addressing climate change. • Carry out following activities to support developing countries - build practical policy and decision-making capacity for low-carbon strategy - provide peer-to-peer learning across developing and developed countries.

- build broad networks and work with universities, international organizations, etc across the world.

• Start with Korean government funded. Korea’s vision is to engage other countries as funders and to develop GGGI into a leading global think tank in the field of climate change and economics.
