기후변화에의 대응을 위한 기회비용이 점차 커지고 있으며 이에 대한 적절한 대응의 확립은 곧 미래의 국가 경쟁력의 수립으로 이어질 수 있다. 이러한 대응은 기후변화 영향이 주는 시장실패를 최소화하며 주어진 조건하에서의 최적의 자원배분을 가능하게 하는 요건이라 하겠다. 기후변화의 영향이 미치는 자원배분의 효과를 고려하여 기후변화를 위한 예산의 적절한 확립이 필요할 수 있다. 극심한 기후변화의 진행과 더불어 물관리 재정은 그 규모의 증가가 요구되며 동시에 기후변화를 반영하는 구체적이고 새로운 체계를 요한다 하겠다. 그러나 이에 부응한 물관리 재정정책의 역할의 중요성에 비하여 기후변화를 위한 명확한 정책의 확립은 미흡한 현실이라 할 수 있다. 기후변화의 대응에 대한 비전과 전략의 확립이 물관리 재정에도 필요할 수 있으며 우리는 이전의 피상적인 부처별 예산배분의 정책에서 탈피하여 좀도 확고한 물관리 재정의 확립을 이룸이 필요하다 하겠다. 기후변화의 영향을 완화하고 또 그에 적응하고자 하는 제 정책의 결정과정은 현재의 수용력(capacity)을 변화시킬 수 있는 부존자원의 사용 여부와 직접적으로 연관되어 있음을 부인할 수 없다. 본 연구는 구체적인 예산의 활용방안에 관하여 기후변화 과정 속에서 적응하며 진화하는 물관리 재정의 형태 및 속성을 구분 점검한다. 나아가 우리의 지역별 유역별 시나리오의 변화의 과정 속에서의 기후변화대비 완화와 적응의 틀에서 정책적 조합의 모습을 진단한다. 현재의 예산 정책에 대한 확인으로 그 효과성을 점검하는 방법론의 제시 속에서 기후변화 대비 효과적인 재정정책은 지역별 사회경제시나리오와의 관계 속에서 확립됨을 보임으로써 정책제언이 가능함을 보인다.

기후변화는 전 지구적인 환경문제 중 하나이며 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 4차 평가보고서에서는 인류가 직면한 최대 위협이라고 하였다. 또한, IPCC는 현재 기후변화에 의한 영향은 명백히 나타나고 있으며 향후 기후변화에 의한 기상이변 예측과 적응 정책 및 조치가 중요하다고 권고하였다. 적응 정책 및 조치를 위한 기후변화의 영향분석은 우리나라에서도 많이 진행하고 있으나 개별 및 분류의 선형의 순차적 관계에 따라 개발 및 적용되고 있다. 기후변화는 자연생태계와 인간 활동의 복잡한 상호작용에 의해 발생하기에 개별적 연구 보다는 타 부문의 영향 및 결과가 환류되고 반영되어야 한다. 따라서 기후변화 영향평가는 농업, 물, 산림, 생태, 건강 등 다양한 부문 내/간 상호작용을 고려할 수 있는 통합 평가 방법이 필요하다. 통합 평가를 위해 플랫폼 개발은 필수적이며, 신속한 분석을 위해서는 개별 부문의 상세모델을 모방한 메타모델이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 미래 기후변화에 따른 영향을 통합적으로 평가하기 위한 메타모델을 개발하고, 상호 연결을 통해 다양한 연계양상을 평가하고자 한다.

This study has intended to perform comparative analysis of climate change adaptation-related recognition between public officials and citizens in ChungCheongBukDo-Province, Korea. To reach this goal, we identified difference between the two groups by prioritizing target group's adaptation policies for climate change, and analyzing climate change adaptation-related recognition in each sector. Climate change adaptation policies can have great policy utility when the boundaries between policy makers and detainees are blurred. Therefore, this study has suggested some measures to reduce the recognition gaps between the target groups by analyzing the characteristics of the groups.

전 세계적으로 기후변화는 계속 진행되고 있으며, 극심한 기상변화로 인한 재난이 곳곳에서 발생하면서 기후변화에 대한 우려가 심화되는 동시에 이에 대한 연구의 필요성 역시 커졌다. 기후변화의 심각성에 대한 객관적인 자료와 연구결과는 매번 전 세계인의 이목을 받고 있다. 과거, 기후변화로 인한 재앙에 대한 우려가 생태계 파괴, 일부 동물들의 멸종과 같은 환경 문제에 그친 반면, 최근에는 전 세계 주요 도시에서 주기적으로 발생하는 대형 자연 재난이 기후변화로 인한 결과임을 인식하게 되었으며 기후변화로 인한 재난이 우리 생활권 내에 진입하면서 기후변화 문제가 생존과 안전 문제로 재인식 되었다. 우리나라 역시 매년 주기적으로 겪었던 풍수해 재난이 점차 대형화되는 것은 물론 기후변화로 인해 폭염과 가뭄이 빈번하게 발생하게 되어 경제적, 인명 피해가 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 이에 2008년 이후 기후변화와 그로인해 발생하는 재난을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 체계 및 정책에 대한 필요성이 대두되면서 관련 체계와 법, 정책 수립이 적극적으로 이루어졌다. 본 논문에서는 기후변화로 인해 주기적으로 겪고 있는 국내 재난에 대해 파악하고 기후변화 적응 정책과 연구의 현황, 한계에 대해 연구하였다. 국내 재난 유형이 지역별로 다소 차이가 있음을 전제하여 재난 유형 파악 지역을 서울로 한정하였으며, 기타 시 도별 연구는 향후 연구과제로 제안하고 있다. 우선 기후변화로 인해 발생하는 서울 도심 내 재난 양상을 살펴보고 그 양상과 기후변화와의 연관성을 밝히기 위해 노력하였다.

Recently, impacts and damages of extreme climate change have already affected on worldwide. Thus adaptation and action plan are essential concepts in minimizing the impacts of climate change. In order to introduce climate change adaptation decision-making measure, the need for high-quality and integrated information system within adaptation policy has increased enormously. However, most of adaptation information is based on different sources and various backgrounds. Currently, domestic climate change information is disseminated from about 132 internet sites and most of them are limited to general information of climate change, rather than information that are based on scientific evidence. Also, there are some difficulties in updating new resources. Reliable climate change information is provided from different agencies, which makes users difficult to locate right information they need. As a progress to overcome the limitations of these problems, we carried out a feasibility research on integrated information system for climate change adaptation. For the objectives, our solutions are as follows. First, we analyzed definition of climate change adaptation and climate change adaptation information. Second, we suggested integrating the information system for adaptation and phased implementation plan for establishing integrated information system for climate change. Finally, we verified the establishment of integrated support system based on policy applications of integrated information system. This system will provide an integrated climate change information and be a very useful tool to support the decision making process of effective climate change adaptation policies.

This aim is to explore the change of lifestyle caused by climate change and develop available adaptation policies against climate threats in Central Asia with the perspective of nomadism, which depends entirely on natural ecosystem. This article also attempts to pinpoint the dynamics between nomadic lifestyle and adaptation options for the resilience of nomadic community against climatic change threats. The adaptation options and opportunities as well as the impacts of land use change and nomadic pastoralists' lifestyle caused by climate change cannot be overemphasized. We suggest that nomadic lifestyle may aggravate the degree of vulnerability to climate change threats, whereas the capacity of nomad to successfully adapting to new environment in developing countries can be superior to that of settler lifestyle in one place in developed countries.

It is increasingly supported by scientific evidence that greenhouse gas caused by human activities is changing the global climate. In particular, the changing climate has affected human health, directly or indirectly, and its adverse impacts are estimated to increase in the future. In response, many countries have established and implemented a variety of mitigation and adaptation measures. However, it is significant to note that climate change will continue over the next few centuries and its impacts on human health should be tackled urgently. The purpose of this paper is to examine domestic policies and research in health sector in adaptation to climate change. It further aims to recommend future research directions for enhanced response to climate change in public health sector, by reviewing a series of adaptation policies in the selected countries and taking into account the general features of health adaptation policies. In this regard, this study first evaluates the current adaptation policies in public health sector by examining the National Climate Change Adaptation Master Plan(2011~2015) and Comprehensive Plan for Environment and Health(2011~2020) and reviewing research to date of the government and relevant institutions. For the literature review, two information service systems are used: namely, the National Science and Technology Information Service(NTIS) and the Policy Research Information Service & Management(PRISM). Secondly, a series of foreign adaptation policies are selected based on the global research priorities set by WHO (2009) and reviewed in order to draw implications for domestic research. Finally, the barriers or constraints in establishing and implementing health adaptation policies are analyzed qualitatively, considering the general characteristics of adaptation in the health sector to climate change, which include uncertainty, finance, technology, institutions, and public awareness. This study provides four major recommendations: to mainstream health sector in the field of adaptation policy and research; to integrate cross-sectoral adaptation measures with an aim to the improvement of health and well-being of the society; to enhance the adaptation measures based on evidence and cost-effectiveness analysis; and to facilitate systemization in health adaptation through setting the key players and the agenda.

The issue of climate change, which calls for urgent and improved action by countries around the world, requires cooperation from the international community. Therefore, consistency among various policies on climate change is particularly important. This study analyzes the relationship between the implementation of SDGs and the scale of assistance in the field of climate change in order to see if there is consistency between domestic policy and aid policy to address climate change issues. An analysis of the correlation between the indices related to the domestic implementation of SDGs and ODA amounts in the field of climate change by OECD countries was conducted. As a result, there is a significant negative correlation between imported CO2 emissions and the portion of climate change ODA. On the other hand, the amount of CO2 emissions embodied in fossil fuel export is significantly positively correlated with the portion of ODA for climate change. Consistency between domestic and aid policies of OECD countries in the field of climate change is not sufficiently ensured, and climate change, the cross-cutting issue, is not being pursued in a consistent direction across national policy.

Climate change affects human and natural environment. Many countries, including Korea, are trying to develop climate change adaptation strategies to minimize adverse impacts of climate change. To deal with climate change efficiently, decisions have to be made among many options. The objectives of this paper is to analyzes methodologies for prioritizing climate change adaptation measures. Each methodology has strength and weakness and information requirements are differ. We find multi-criteria analysis is one of useful tools considering current level of understanding on climate change adaptation. We suggest climate change risks(timing, likelihood, intensity of climate change impacts), feasibility of policy (equity, main-streaming, democracy), effectiveness (economic effectiveness, co-benefits, propagation effects) of adaptation measures as main evaluation criteria of prioritization.

An integrated assessment model of climate and the economy (IAM) has been a standard tool for the economic analysis of climate change and policy recommendations. Since policy measures to address climate change take places at a national level, a regional integrated assessment model of climate and the economy (RIAM) is gaining more importance. A RIAM is a useful tool for the assessment of regional (or national) impacts of climate change. This paper investigates the main features of the currently available RIAMs. The focus is social welfare functions and the regional aspects of climate change. The comparative analysis shows that there is a huge gap between the economics of climate change and its applications to RIAMs. As an application, this paper examines the effect of social welfare functions on optimal solutions of the RICE (Regional Integrated model of Climate and the Economy) model. It is found that optimal climate policy such as carbon tax or emissions control rate is very sensitive to the assumptions on social welfare functions of RIAMs. It is better for each country to have their own RIAM as a basic tool for national climate policy-making and for international bargaining in greenhouse-gas mitigation. This is because a country's own preferences such as efficiency, equity, and sustainable development as well as national circumstances can be reflected in RIAM. The Republic of Korea has not developed its own RIAM yet. The comparative analysis and the numerical model in this paper can be a stepping stone for the development of such a national model.
