Study on Application Strategies of Scientifc Climate Change Information to build Adaptation Policies and Climate Monitoring-Prediction-Adaptation Planning over the Republic of Korea
Climate change is not only abnormal condition of climate systems but also the perplexities of socio-economic system including agriculture, ocean, energy supply plans and ecosystem. As the frequency and magnitude of the extreme weather related natural disasters are increasing, the losses of lives and economic damages are getting huge. For the adequate response of climate change, more comprehensive reviews of research results about observation, projection and monitoring of climate change are essential. The purpose of this study is to frame, to structure and to prepare writing strategies the 2nd Korea Climate Change Assessment Report(the Physical Science Basis). ‘Korea Climate Change Assessment Report 2010’ was prepared using 1,003 references by 46 climate change scientists with seven chapters and 328 pages. Ten chapters and more detailed sections for the 2nd Korea Climate Change Assessment Report have been suggested based on IPCC 5th Climate Change Assessment Report. Chapters cannot be changed while sections can be combined, deleted, and altered with admissions from consultation committees. Committees consist of climate change experts from government organization, universities and institution.
