商品描述
This book reveals causes of the GHG emission accounting practice failure over the last several decades, describes evolution of new tenets of the accounting and remaining tasks, and suggests a new comprehensive integrated accounting in the form of protocol.
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report calls for net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5 degree C. As a result, many countries, cities, and industries are putting forward their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction actions and commitments. But can the countries, cities, and industries meet these ambitious decarbonization goals without a reliable GHG inventory? This book tries to answer this question.
It has been argued that there is a need to include LCA and consumption/needs-based GHG emissions as a complimentary indicator to the current approach of production-based GHG accounting emissions. As a shifting of the focus of accounting system after the Paris Agreement, consumption/needs-based approach is newly focused on a more broader accounting approach for NDCs and LDCs with a vision of all of society approach. Traditional national inventory approach to GHG emission accounting has been severely criticized as being too production process-oriented, sector-based approach, less transparent, a lack of public participation, no considerations for human needs and human factors.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書揭示了過去幾十年來溫室氣體（GHG）排放會計實踐失敗的原因，描述了會計新原則的演變及剩餘任務，並建議以協議的形式提出一種新的綜合整合會計方法。
最新的政府間氣候變化專門委員會（IPCC）評估報告呼籲到2050年實現淨零二氧化碳排放，以將全球暖化限制在1.5攝氏度。因此，許多國家、城市和行業都提出了減少溫室氣體排放的行動和承諾。但國家、城市和行業能否在沒有可靠的溫室氣體清單的情況下實現這些雄心勃勃的去碳化目標？這本書試圖回答這個問題。
有人認為，需要將生命週期評估（LCA）和基於消費/需求的溫室氣體排放納入當前基於生產的溫室氣體會計排放的補充指標。作為巴黎協定後會計系統重心的轉變，基於消費/需求的方法新近專注於更廣泛的會計方法，以應對國家自主貢獻（NDCs）和最不發達國家（LDCs），並以全社會的視角為願景。傳統的國家清單方法在溫室氣體排放會計上受到嚴厲批評，因為它過於以生產過程為導向、以行業為基礎，透明度不足，缺乏公眾參與，並未考慮人類需求和人類因素。
作者簡介
Kwi-Gon Kim's main research interests are in the field of smart urban eco-development and climate change, also including aspects of convergence of human needs/consumption and climate change.
He has obtained his Ph.D. in Planning Studies at University College London (UCL) and taught for 32 years at Seoul National University. He is currently Professor Emeritus at the University.
He has been very active in various fields and a frequent speaker at international organizations, including UNDP, UNESCO, UNEP, UNFCCC and UN-HABITAT. He, as a President of the International Urban Training Center (IUTC) in partnership with UN-HABITAT, developed a series of volume of Climate Smart Eco-Cities as training materials. He has been a Co-Chair, UNFCCC/UGIH Consumption/Needs-based GHG Emission Accounting Working Group.
He has been an author/co-authors of five Springer books, including Low-Carbon Smart Cities (2018, Springer), Planning Climate Smart and Wise Cities (2022, Springer), and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Climate Change Adaptation (Forthcoming, Springer).

Kwi-Gon Kim的主要研究興趣集中在智慧城市生態發展和氣候變遷領域，並包括人類需求/消費與氣候變遷之間的交匯點。
他在倫敦大學學院（University College London, UCL）獲得規劃研究的博士學位，並在首爾國立大學任教32年。目前他是該大學的名譽教授。
他在各個領域非常活躍，並且經常在國際組織中發表演講，包括聯合國開發計劃署（UNDP）、聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）、聯合國環境規劃署（UNEP）、聯合國氣候變化框架公約（UNFCCC）和聯合國人居署（UN-HABITAT）。作為國際城市培訓中心（International Urban Training Center, IUTC）與UN-HABITAT合作的主席，他開發了一系列氣候智慧生態城市的培訓材料。他還擔任了UNFCCC/UGIH基於消費/需求的溫室氣體排放核算工作組的共同主席。
他是五本Springer書籍的作者或合著者，包括《低碳智慧城市》（2018年，Springer）、《規劃氣候智慧與智慧城市》（2022年，Springer）以及《氣候變遷適應的跨文化視角》（即將出版，Springer）。
