AbstractIn this review, we aimed to synthesize the current knowledge on the observed and projected effects of climate change on the ecosystems of Korea (i.e., the Republic of Korea (ROK) or South Korea), as well as the main causes of vulnerability and options for adaptation in these ecosystems based on a range of ecological and biogeographical data. To this end, we compiled a set of peer-reviewed papers published since 2014. We found that publication of climate-related studies on plants has decreased in the field of plant phenology and physiology, whereas such publication has rapidly increased in plant and animal community ecology, reflecting the range shifts and abundance change that are occurring under climate change. Plant phenology studies showed that climate change has increased growing seasons by advancing the timing of flowering and budburst while delaying the timing of leafing out. Community ecology studies indicated that the future ranges of cold-adapted plants and animals could shrink or shift toward northern and high-elevation areas, whereas the ranges of warm-adapted organisms could expand and/or shift toward the areas that the aforementioned cold-adapted biota previously occupied. This review provides useful information and new insights that will improve understanding of climate change effects on the ecosystems of Korea. Moreover, it will serve as a reference for policy-makers seeking to establish future sectoral adaptation options for protection against climate change.

AbstractThis chapter critically assesses the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction with a special focus on the Irish policy and governance context. The chapter first presents a comprehensive overview of the Irish policy environment for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction including its current level of integration. Analysis of alignment with global and regional drivers of integration is then considered. Next, drawing on empirical research conducted with multidisciplinary experts across the Republic of Ireland, the chapter employs the SHIELD model, developed by the EU-funded ESPREssO project, which outlines six pathways to enhance integration across the domains of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. The pathways comprise of sharing knowledge, harmonising capacities, institutionalising coordination, engaging stakeholders, leveraging investments and developing communication. Findings of stakeholder focus groups and survey responses highlight the challenges and opportunities for impactful integration between climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in Ireland from a practitioner perspective across the six SHIELD pathways. Finally, conclusions from the study indicate the importance of governance, management and coordination of systems for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction; the sequencing of policy-making, planning and research; and the significance of specificity in relation to use of the six SHIELD pathways.

The negative impact of tourism accommodation development, is environmental damage. Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 10 of 2009 on Tourism Article 26, requires owner to be responsible through environmental maintenance.Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies Article 74, requires each company to implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).The ministry of Environment itself summarizes the CSR on environment, such as Production Profit, Eco Office, Waste Management with 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), Conservation of Natural Resources and Energy, Renewable Energy, Climate Change Adaptation and Environmental Education.This research aimed to analyze the effectivity of CSR programs on environmental in fivestar hotels in Ubud Region, the factors that affect the program, and its development strategy. The research used descriptive quantitative method. The method of data collection using observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data obtained was analyzed using descriptive qualitative method, complemented with IFAS (Internal Factor Analysis Summary), EFAS (External Factor Analysis Summary), and SWOT analysis.The result showed that implementation of CSR programs has not entirely been done effectively. From seven CSR programs, two programs have been categorized effective. Those two programs are Climate Change Adaptation and Environmental Education. However the program which has not run effectively is Production Profit, Eco Office, Waste Management with 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), Conservation of Natural Resources and Energy Renewable Energy. The main factor affecting CSR Program is organization, with score of 4.41. CSR implementation strategy, the manager continues the previous strategy that has been done. However, for the advancement of CSR programs is necessary needed revamping management, with concentration via vertical integration.

The main research subject is forming optimal local models of the architectural and technological intervention in rural areas of the Republic of Serbia, as a way of climate change adaptation, as well as their feasibility study on the West Pomoravlje area. Each region has its own unique features. Thus, in the territory of the Republic of Serbia can be defined zones with the same local characteristics, using the following criteria of physical and human geography: geo-physiognomic characteristics, climatic characteristics, economic development, and level of urbanity. These criteria are defined as the most important. They are the primary determinants for choosing the architectural and technological interventions within the local model as a way of climate change adaptation. The first part of research deals with the zoning of the Republic of Serbia and defining the zones with the same local characteristics. Atlas of villages, providing their current types and possible future models, will be created. The second part is based on the case study of one of the zones - West Pomoravlje zone. Villages and households within the zone will be analysed and sorted into the types and groups. Further research will be based on the examination of possibilities of transforming the existing villages into the eco-villages, mapping the most appropriate positions for new eco-villages and forming a potential eco-village network.
