| dc.description.abstract | South Korea is a country that is active in production fields such as technology, transportation, and cosmetics. To carry out a production process, several important factors are needed to support a production activity, including human resources, tools, location, and energy. South Korea does not have abundant natural resources like its neighboring countries, namely China and Japan. In 2020 South Korea wants to transition to new and renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil energy and Korea wants to reduce their carbon emissions which can affect the greenhouse effect and global sustainability. In its development, South Korea must face an energy trilemma in which there are three factors, namely energy security, energy equity, and environmental curiosity. Energy security and environmental curiosity are the main problems that South Korea must solve. This research examines how South Korea's energy diplomacy overcomes the energy trilemma through a Green New Deal strategy. South Korea was declared successful in using the GND as their energy strategy by starting to reduce dependence on fossil energy and rampant development of renewable energy and innovation towards zero net emissions. This analysis will cover how South Korea uses the Green New Deal as their energy diplomacy strategy by using several diplomatic tools, namely cooperation, investment and innovation, and technology. The Green New Deal is the main concept used in South Korean energy diplomacy research. This research uses qualitative data collection methods using the internet and document-based research. | en_US |
