대기 환경분야의 최근동향과 쟁점

Over recent years, the increase in fine dust has resulted in deteriorating health and discomfort in life, and efforts have been made to implement greenhouse gas reductions under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In addition, as the Paris Convention entered into force on November 4, 2016, there occurred the obligation to reduce GHG emissions. For these reasons, there arose a lot of trends and issues about GHG linked to fine dust and climate change in the 2000s' atmospheric environment sector. The amendments to the Clean Air Conservation Act also centered on countermeasures against fine dust, automobile emissions and GHG reductions. In this paper, I reviews the amendments of the laws related to fine dust and climate change, and the cases involved to the atmospheric environment after 2011, from the year 2011 to the beginning of February 2017. In Ⅲ, I reviewed newly established or amended regulations against the existing Clean Air Preservation Act. Its old ones were unclear and insufficient in regulating, penalizing those concerned and giving aid to the victim's right when Volkswagen diesel gate occurred. As a result, these problems led to the revised provisions. Finally, in Ⅳ, I studied the relationship between the Clean Air Conservation Act and the Emission Facilities Integrated Management Act which enforced from January 1, 2017.
