Sejong University | South Korea
Eui-chan Jeon is a distinguished Professor in the Department of Climate and Environment at Sejong University and Director of the Korea Institute of Climate Change and Environment, widely recognized for his extensive contributions to greenhouse gas emission research, air pollution management, and national climate policy. With a strong academic foundation from Seoul National University, his expertise spans the development of emission factors and inventories, strategies for short-lived climate forcers, VOC and malodor control, and environmental education. Over his career, he has authored an impressive body of work comprising 110 scholarly documents and accumulated 2,082 citations, supported by an h-index of 22, demonstrating his sustained scientific influence. He has served in numerous high-level national and international leadership roles, including Lead Author for the IPCC Methodology Report on Short-lived Climate Forcers, Chairman of the TFI under the Council for Response to the IPCC, Chairman of the Carbon Neutral Committee of Korea Environment Corporation, and Chairman of the Board of the APEC Climate Center. His recent research includes major national projects on particulate matter, non-CO₂ greenhouse gas destruction and removal efficiency, ammonia emissions, and agricultural and livestock activity data enhancement. He has also authored influential studies advancing emission factor development for waste, industrial, agricultural, and energy sectors. His work has been complemented by multiple national honors, academic awards, and the publication of several authoritative books on carbon neutrality, climate change adaptation, environmental science, and energy policy. Professor Jeon’s scholarship and leadership continue to shape climate science, environmental policy, and sustainable development across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
