생물자원 이용을 통한 탄소중립 실현 관련 국제적 동향과 우리나라의 법정책적 대응방안

The international society is making efforts to realize carbon neutrality in response to climate change, and is particularly interested in contributing to carbon neutrality by actively utilizing science and technology. As discussed in the text, these efforts can be seen in the ‘Paris Agreement’, the EU’s ‘Net Zero Industry Act’, and the US’s ‘White House Initiative to Advance the Bioeconomy’. This shows that the use of various carbon-neutral science and technologies is important to respond to climate change, and the importance of bio-related carbon-neutral technologies such as the use of biological resources is also increasing. Accordingly, as seen in the text, Korea needs to implement the regulations related to the use of biological resources under the Carbon Neutral Framework Act and the actual organization of the National Biological Diversity Center under the Biodiversity Act. In addition, Korea will be able to contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality by actively using patented microorganisms or registering discovered patented microorganisms by utilizing the Deposit of Microorganisms system under the Budapest Treaty. Ultimately, these domestic and international trends can have great significance in contributing to carbon neutrality using biological resources, and show that the bioeconomy sector can play an important role for carbon neutrality in the future. Now that humanity has discovered the causes and phenomena of the climate crisis, it is important to find and implement solutions. By developing and utilizing carbon neutral technology using biological resources, we will be able to contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality.
