A climate footprint is a more comprehensive measure of anthropogenic impact upon the climate than a carbon footprint, but is also more costly and labour-intensive to calculate. A climate footprint is a measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO), methane (CH), nitrous oxide (NO), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF) emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and
Emissions Trading Scheme in South Korea in the scheme: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulfur hexafluoride. More than 525 business entities are subject to the ETS with specific emission targets set for each sectors. Similar to that of the European Union, South Korea has divided its emissions trading scheme into three phases. With differing time spans and targets within each phase. The country is currently in its first phase which started in 2015 and lasts until 2017. The second phase occupies a 3-year-span from 2018 to 2020 and the final third phase is from 2021 to 2025. During Phase 1 all permits will
