Sustainable consumption
ESG
Scope 3 emissions
Student Kim Min-gyu mainly conducted research on direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions at home. The degree study of student Kim Min-gyu conducted a decomposition analysis of indirect greenhouse gas emissions changes in the home sector over time by driving forces. Currently, we are conducting research on the calculation and consistency of greenhouse gas emissions in scope 3 generated in the supply chain of each domestic industry.

Lee HongkwanDoctorate course
- Bachelor's in Environmental Management, Peking University (2022)
- Master's in Environmental Management, Peking University (2025)
environmental and energy policy evaluation
climate change and corporate green strategy
Hongkwan Lee's primary research interests center on environmental and energy policy evaluation, climate change, and corporate green strategy. By integrating policy analysis with sustainability research, he seeks to explore how regulatory frameworks and corporate practices interact to shape low-carbon transitions. His current work focuses on advancing the understanding of policy effectiveness and generating evidence that can inform both academic scholarship and practical decision-making in the fields of climate policy and corporate sustainability.

Soon-Il An et al (2024). Asymmetric ENSO teleconnections in a symmetric CO₂ concentration pathway. Environmental Research Letters, 19(12), 124005.
Student Shin Suhyeon is conducting research with the goal of comprehensively studying the impacts of climate change on human life, including food security. During undergraduate studies, she majored in Atmospheric Sciences, building a strong foundation in climate systems. In the master's program, she explored the impact of ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation), a key climate variability phenomenon in the tropical Pacific, on global atmospheric circulation, the influence of climate variability on the climate system in depth. In future, Student Shin Suhyeon aims to become an expert in climate change impact assessment by integrating climate science with social sciences, evaluating the social-economic effects of climate change, and developing sustainable response strategies based on scientific analysis.
