Ⅰ. Introduction
1. Background and aims of research
o With the beginning of the European Green Deal of the European Union in December 2019, the international community has set the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2050. Korea also declared that the country would go carbon neutral in 2020 and promoted the smart green city project as part of the Green New Deal.
o Subsequently, in August 2021, the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth to Cope with Climate Crisis (hereinafter referred to as the Carbon Neutrality Framework Act) was enacted, but the legal and institutional basis for local governments to implement carbon neutrality was still insufficient. It is urgent to share roles and improve the legal system.
2. Research structure
o The necessity and purpose of the study were identified based on the background of the study and awareness of the problem, and the current status of the carbon-neutral environment projects at home and abroad and related legal systems were analyzed.
ㅇ Overseas cases in this study include the Low-carbon Town Project and regional decarbonization project in Japan, the Boston metropolitan area climate zoning in the United States, and the 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 in the EU.
o This study examined the existing legal system on spatial environment projects (legal grounds for carbon-neutral cities, project content, etc.) and the direction to modify those projects so that they can support the system and proposes to enact a separate law for carbon-neutral environment projects based on th
