미국 뉴욕주의 기후변화에 대한 법적 대응전략과 시사점 = A Study on the New York State's Legal Strategies to the Climate Change and Suggestions to Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The US consists of 50 states and the climate change impacts are different from state to state. The western states including California suffer with a longer period of draught and serious lack of water, and the eastern state including New York suffer storms, extreme cold, and increase of sudden rainfalls. Among many states of the US, the State of New York is one of the most enthusiastic state to lead the climate change action and to have performed aggressive counter climate change laws and policies. New York is also very similar to the Republic of Korea in terms of geographical and environmental aspects. This article introduces the climate change laws and policies of New York State, to propose some suggestions for the Korean climate change regime. Part II explains the New York Climate and Community Protection Act, which is the main law to respond to the climate change in New York State, and compares the climate change policies before and after the above New York Climate and Community Protection Act. The last part concludes with several suggestions for the Korean climate change regime from the experiences of the State of New York.
