Local governments are establishing their own greenhouse gas reduction goal and are playing a important role to respond to climatic changes. However, there are difficulties in quantitative analyses such as estimation of future greenhouse gas emission and computation of reduction potential, which are procedures required to establish mid to long term strategies to realize of low carbon society by each local governments. Also, reduction measures must reflect characteristics of each local government, since the reduction power of each local government can differ according to characteristics of each. In order to establish strategies that reflect characteristics of local governments, types of greenhouse gas emission from cities were classified largely into residential city, commercial city, residential commercial city, agriculture and fishery city, convergence city, and industrial city. As a result of analyzing basic unit of greenhouse gas emission by local government during 2007 in terms of per population, household and GRDP based on the type classification, significant results were deduced for each type. To manage the amount of the national greenhouse gas, reduction measures should be focused on the local governments that emits more than the average of each type's GHG emission.

이 연구는 환경영향평가 개발사업 시 발생하는 훼손수목 탄소저장량의 적합한 산정방법에 대해 논의하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 훼손수목이 발생하는 재생에너지 관련 개발사업 9개를 선정하여 훼손수목 탄소저장량의 평가현황 및 방법을 정리하였다. 그리고 상대생장식을 활용하여 훼손수목 탄소저장량을 재산정 한 후 보고서의 훼손수목 탄소저장량과 비교하여 두 집단 간 차이를 검증하였다. 그 결과 개발사업의 보고서의 훼손수목 탄소저장량은 재산정 탄소저장량 보다 큰 것으로 나타났고 통계적으로 유의성이 있었다(p<0.005). 이는 기존의 훼손수목 탄소저장량 산정이 과다 산정되고 있음을 나타내며 산정 방법의 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 훼손수목의 탄소저장량 산정 시 우리나라 산림의 우점 수종에 적합한 상대생 장식을 사용해야 한다. 더 나아가, 사용자들이 효율적이고 정확하게 훼손수목 탄소저장량을 산정할 수 있도록 생태계의 실측 데이터에 기반한 탄소저장량 산정 시스템을 구축하여 사용할 것을 제안한다.

Climate vulnerability index is usually defined as a function of the climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, which requires adequate selection of proxy variables of each variable. We selected and used 9 proxy variables related to climate exposure in the literature, and diagnosed the adequacy of them for application in Korean peninsula. The selected proxy variables are: four variables from temperature, three from precipitation, one from wind speed, and one from relative humidity. We collected climate data over both previous year (1981~2010) and future climate scenario (A1B scenario of IPCC SERES) for 2020, 2050, and 2100. We introduced the spatial and temporal diagnostic statistical parameters, and evaluated both spatial and time variabilities in the relative scale. Of 9 proxy variables, effective humidity indicated the most sensitive to climate change temporally with the biggest spatial variability, implying a good proxy variable in diagnostics of climate change vulnerability in Korea. The second most sensitive variable is the frequency of strong wind speed with a decreasing trend, suggesting that it should be used carefully or may not be of broad utility as a proxy variable in Korea. The A1B scenario of future climate in 2020, 2050 and 2100 matches well with the extension of linear trend of observed variables during 1981~2010, indicating that, except for strong wind speed, the selected proxy variables can be effectively used in calculating the vulnerability index for both past and future climate over Korea. Other local variabilities for the past and future climate in association with climate exposure variables are also discussed here.

최근 기후변화로 인해 잇따라 발생하는 전 지구적 이상기후의 출현은 사회 전반에 걸쳐 직 간접적으로 많은 영향을 미친다. 특히, 자연을 통해 기본 에너지를 얻는 농업은 기상환경에 따라 작물의 생장과 수확이 직접적으로 영향을 받기 때문에, 기후변화와 관련된 사회적 중요 관심사가 되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내 주요 수입곡물중 큰 부분을 차지하고 있는 옥수수와 밀에 대하여 주요 수출국인 미국과 중국을 대상으로 생산량에 많은 영향을 끼치는 온도의 변화 경향을 통해 취약성 평가를 하였다. 주요 곡물 생산국들의 곡물 생산성에 영향을 미치는 재배기간을 문헌 및 기존 연구를 통해 국가별로 파악하여 주요 재배기간으로 정하고, 옥수수와 밀에 대한 생산국별 주요 재배기간에 해당하는 미래 기상은 RCP8.5 기후변화 시나리오를 기반으로 구축하였다. 기온의 변화경향을 나타내는 적응성과 기온의 변화 정도를 나타내는 민감도를 이용하여 중국과 미국 간의 곡물별 생산취약성을 분석한 결과, 과거에 밀은 미국이 생산에 유리하고, 옥수수는 중국이 유리하였지만, 미래에는 두 곡물 모두 미국이 생산에 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 생산성 취약성 평가 결과는 기후변화로 인한 미래 수입 곡물 가격변동에 대한 대비 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

According to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Inter governmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), climate change is already in progress around the world, and it is necessary to start mitigation and adaptation strategies for buildings in order to minimize adverse impacts. It is likely that the South Korea will experience milder winters and hotter and more extreme summers. Those changes will impact on building performance, particularly with regard to cooling and ventilation, with implications for the quality of the indoor environment, energy consumption and carbon emissions. This study generate weather data for future climate change for use in impacts studies using PRECIS (Providing REgional Climate for Impacts Studies). These scenarios and RCM (Regional Climate Model) are provided high-resolution climate-change predictions for a region generally consistent with the continental-scale climate changes predicted in the GCM (Global Climate Model).

The red imported fire ant is considered one of the most notorious invasive species because of its adverse impact on both humans and ecosystems. Public concern regarding red imported fire ants has been increasing, as they have been found seven times in South Korea. Even if red imported fire ants are not yet colonized in South Korea, a proper quarantine plan is necessary to prevent their widespread distribution. As a basis for quarantine planning, we modeled the potential distribution of the red imported fire ant under current climate conditions using six different species distribution models (SDMs) and then selected the random forest (RF) model for modeling the potential distribution under climate change. We acquired occurrence data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and bioclimatic data from WorldClim. We modeled at the global scale to project the potential distribution under the current climate and then applied models at the local scale to project the potential distribution of the red imported fire ant under climate change. Modeled results successfully represent the current distribution of red imported fire ants. The potential distribution area for red imported fire ants increased to include major harbors and airports in South Korea under the climate change scenario (RCP 8.5). Thus, we are able to provide a potential distribution of red imported fire ant that is necessary to establish a proper quarantine plan for their management to minimize adverse impacts of climate change.

The research was carried out in order to find climate factors which determine the distribution of Neolitsea sericea, and the potential habitats (PHs) under the current climate and three climate change scenario by using species distribution models (SDMs). Four climate factors; the minimum temperature of the coldest month (TMC), the warmth index (WI), summer precipitation (PRS), and winter precipition (PRW) : were used as independent variables for the model. Three general circulation models under A1B emission scenarios were used as future climate scenarios for the 2050s (2040~2069) and 2080s (2070~2099). Highly accurate SDMs were obtained for N. sericea. The model of distribution for N. sericea constructed by SDMs showed that minimum temperature of the coldest month (TMC) is a major climate factor in determining the distribution of N. sericea. The area above the $-4.4^{\circ}C$ of TMC revealed high occurrence probability of the N. sericea. Future PHs for N. sericea were projected to increase respectively by 4 times, 6.4 times of current PHs under 2050s and 2080s. It is expected that the potential of N. sericea habitats is expanded gradually. N. sericea is applicable as indicator species for monitoring in the Korean Peninsula. N. sericea is necessary to be monitored of potential habitats.

This study conducted a quantitative assessment on the environmental flows associated with climate change in the Gosam Reservoir, Korea. The application of RCP 8.5 climate change scenario has found that the peak value of High Flow Pulses has increased by 36.0 % on average compared to historical data (2001 ~ 2010), which is likely to cause disadvantage on flood control and management but the increase in peak value is expected to make a positive impact on resolving the issue of green algal blooms, promoting vegetation in surrounding areas and encouraging spawning and providing habitats for native species by releasing a larger amount of landslides as well as organic matters than the past. However, the decreasing pattern of the peak value of High Flow Pulses is quite apparent with the trend of delay on the occurrence time of peak value, necessitating a long-term impact analysis. The peak value of Large Floods shows a clear sign of decrease against climate change scenario, which is expected to lead to changes in fish species caused by degraded quality of water and decreasing habitats. A quicker occurrence of Small Floods is also expected to make an impact on the growth cycle of aquatic plants, and the reduction in occurrence frequency of Extreme Low Flows is to contribute to increasing the population of and raising the survival rate of native fish, greatly improving the aquatic ecosystem. The results of this study are expected to be useful to establish the water environment and ecological system in adapting or responding to climate change.
