Before joining KNDA in 2016 he was visiting scholar at the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), a private think-tank that conducts research on international environmental law. During his stint at the ELI Professor Shim engaged in a variety of collaborative research projects, including mainstreaming climate adaptation governance, natural resource management governance from the perspective of sustainable development, and environmental peacebuilding in post-conflict contexts.
Professor Shim writes widely on climate change issues, with a focus on designing economically viable, technologically feasible, and politically acceptable policy tools and strategies with significant emission reduction potentials. His academic work also covers conventional international legal issues, such as peace and security in the United Nations, law of the sea, non-proliferation, human rights in North Korea and transitional justice, sustainable development and energy security. He regularly advises officials at the Bureau of International Legal Affairs in Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on newly emerging international legal topics ranging from biodiversity, access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing (ABS) to marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ).
Professor Shim’s legal educational background includes a J.S.D. degree at Stanford University, awarded in 2015 with his dissertation entitled, “Structuring Climate Policy in the Korean Electricity Sector: Politics, Institutions and Mitigative Capacity-Building.” He also holds a J.S.M. degree at the same university, and is a graduate of Seoul National University (B.A. & M.A. in law).
