Cover Story: South Korea is a signatory of the Paris Agreement and has announced a 2050 carbon neutrality target. However, its current policy trajectory is not Paris Agreement aligned, with climate change not being a dominant electoral issue. A Paris Agreement compatible pathway could synergistically improve ambient air quality. This research examines the gains of a climate action pathway that would achieve 2050 carbon neutrality and adds further evidence for national gains from stronger climate action. By focusing on and estimating national gains, the momentum for enhanced climate action can be intensified. Through this pathway, South Korea could avoid 835 years of life lost (YLL) in 2030, 2237 YLL in 2040, and 3389 YLL in 2050, and reduce 5539 million tons of CO2 equivalent (MtCO2e) from 2022 to 2050.
