This voluntarily set goal is regarded as very challenging since Korean industry doubled its greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2005, the fastest growth in the OECD. With this pledge, Korea seeks to be a model for other countries, such as China and India, which are categorised as developing countries under the Kyoto Protocol; these countries have no binding obligation except to announce their reduction target by 2030.
