About

Through two and a half years of climate change consulting, I have made great effort in line with the aspiration of the Korean government and client companies to seek for ways to enhance their capacity to strengthen and implement environmental measures. The projects I conducted as a consultant were very essential steps for addressing climate change, such as developing climate change strategies and GHG inventories, implementing internal ETS, and raising awareness. In the process, I realized that I could broaden my perspective by gaining deeper understanding of market and policy in order to achieve more effective solutions. Currently, I am a Master student of public economics at Sogang School of Economics, the most prestigious school in the field in Korea. I am trying to combine the academic courses with my employment experience, finding ways to integrate adaptation/mitigation measures into decision-making process at all international, national, industry, and household levels.
