Kookmin University Professors Lim Chul-Hee and Lee Chang bae Launch Research on Ecosystem Restoration to Enhance Climate Change Adaptation and Carbon Sinks
- 26.04.01 / 홍유민
A research team led by Professors Lim Chul-Hee and Lee Chang bae from the Department of Forest and Environmental Systems at Kookmin University’s College of Science and Technology (President Jeong Seung Ryul) has been selected for a new project under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment’s Environmental Technology Development Program: “Development of Ecosystem Restoration and Management Technologies for Climate Change Adaptation.” Kookmin University will be responsible for the “Carbon Sink Enhancement” category within this project and will lead the development of ecosystem restoration technologies.
The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment has introduced the natural environment restoration industry and related systems through amendments to the Natural Environment Conservation Act, and plans to promote the development of ecosystem restoration technologies over the next five years to establish and expand this industry. This research will be jointly conducted by the Korea Environment Institute, relevant universities, registered restoration service providers, and artificial intelligence (AI) specialized companies.
Kookmin University plans to develop ecosystem restoration technologies to enhance carbon sinks over the next five years, supported by approximately 3.5 billion won in funding. The project will proceed in phases, ranging from technology development—which integrates artificial intelligence, drones, and advanced sensing technologies with soil and bio-technologies—to on-site validation.
Professor Lim Chul-Hee, the principal investigator, stated, “It is highly significant that we are developing ecosystem restoration technologies centered on the carbon sink sector, which is one of our university’s key strengths,” adding, “We will take the lead in developing world-class technologies by collaborating not only with domestic industries but also with leading global institutions.”
The launch of this research is also significant as an achievement in realizing ESG, one of the core values of “KMU VISION 2035: EDGE,” which Kookmin University is promoting. Moving forward, Kookmin University plans to expand technology development and industry-academia collaboration for a sustainable future, leveraging its research capabilities in enhancing carbon sinks and addressing climate change.
