Our studies show that coal needs to be phased out from power generation by 2040 globally and by 2030 in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries to be in line with the Paris Agreement. South Korea, an OECD member, needs to be releasing zero carbon emissions from coal by 2029, if it is to play its part in meeting the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping warming within 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This report explores the implications of the Paris Agreement for coal-fired power generation in South Korea. This report is also available in Korean.
