"South Korea saw rapid economic growth and a doubling of its greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2005—the fastest growth in emissions among OECD nations ... Domestically, South Korea imports 97% of its energy sources from abroad, and has experienced temperature changes over the past century higher than the global average. South Korea has thus implemented a number of policies to address these climate and energy issues under the auspices of a green growth strategy." (Quoted from paper)
