Implementation Plans

<p>It is mandatory to establish a detailed implementation plan on measures for adaptation to climate change of local governments, based on the Article 48 of the Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth and Article 38 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act of South Korea. However, it is difficult for local governments to establish such detailed implementation plan due to high budget spending, lack of experts in climate change field and the shift in cyclical positions of government officials. The Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change(KACCC) has developed a system for supporting local governments to overcome the difficulties. The system provides integrated data regarding climate change adaptation, such as general information, current status and prospect of climate change, climate change impact analysis, vulnerability and risk assessment to climate change using VESTAP (Vulnerability Assessment Tool to Build Climate Change Adaptation Plan) for each region. Based on the integrated information regarding adaptation to climate change, local governments conduct a survey targeting general public, civil servants, experts, etc. using the questionnaire on adaptive awareness provided by the system. Each local government can analyze the information and inventory of adaptation measures and diagnose the policies to establish detailed implementation plans for each sector. By establishing the system, it is expected to support government officials’s task through standardization and automation of detailed implementation plans and reduce budget and time required for data collection and analysis. It is possible to improve the quality and maintain the consistency of plans by local governments. The system also supports decision making by rapid and reasonable adaptation measures leading to establishing highly effective and managed implementation plans for local governments.</p><p>※ This work was supported by Korea Environment Industry & Technology Institute(KEITI) through Climate Change Correspondence Program, funded by Korea Ministry of Environment(MOE)(2018001310004).</p>

Impacts Of Climate Change

Climate change is recognized as a significant man-made global environmental challenge and it is also treated as threat. It may alter the distribution and quality of natural resources. Considering the vulnerabilities of forests and irreversible impacts of climate change on forests, long term planning for forest conservation and management is the urgent need of the hour to ensure and maintain the long-term mitigation potential of forests. In this study multi-disciplinary literature review, interviews with researchers in a variety of related fields, and consultation meetings with selected practitioners at the national, regional, and local levels were conducted. The findings of study highlighted the current status of knowledge, strengths, gaps and constraints in research pertaining to climate change adaptation and mitigation aspects of forests in India.

Knowing the current status of Southern Leyte as a “Provincial Beauty in the Philippines that’s Travel Worthy” and vulnerable to hazards and risks; it is also expected to be on top in championing actions towards climate change adaptation and embracing sustainability. The study focuses on the viability of selected hospitality industry establishments in Southern Leyte towards climate change adaptation. Data collection utilized researcher-made survey questionnaire. Using descriptive-correlational method, managers and owners of 13 Department of Tourism (DOT) identified hospitality industry establishments along the coastlines of Maasin City and Saint Bernard Southern Leyte were surveyed through purposive sampling. The simple percentage, weighted mean, and chi-square were among the statistical tools utilized throughout the study. Most of the provinces in Eastern Visayas were in little risk to geophysical disasters except Southern Leyte and Northern Samar. The establishments were implementing some of the green practices on solid waste management and energy conservation under the international agreements and national laws. Economically and environmentally, majority of the establishments partially complied with the IEMSD program. Regarding the sustainability of the institutions based on the IEMSD, economically and ecologically, the facilities were slightly sustainable. It indicates that majority of the services calls for more actions to be durable and be able to adapt to climate change.

Adaptation Ability

To date, work in the field of climate change adaptation has resulted in many strategies for adaptation. In Vietnam, there have been many climate change adaptation activities implemented but has not been evaluated fully on effectiveness so that we can modify or make a replica of them systematically. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of carried out climate change adaptation activities, it is necessary to assess the current status of climate change adaptation for each local. In this paper, a set of CCA status evaluation indicators was developed and appreciated for Moc Hoa district, Long An province, to support a comprehensive assessment of the adaptation ability of this study area, the validity of investment resources allocation, and vulnerability to expose suitable policies. This set includes three indicators which are natural environment resilience, climate change vulnerability and climate change risk mitigation. The results showed that the environmental resilience indicators and the risk mitigation indicators were arranged at the medium level, while the climate change vulnerability indicators were high.
