At the SBSTA 42 (The 42th Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice), there was rich exchange of views on the topics of in-session workshop among the Parties. And draft conclusion (FCCC/SBSTA/2015/L.2) was adopted through the contact group meetings. Agriculture is a distinctive area of issues on food security and economies of most countries, in particular developing countries, as it has suffered from undesirable negative climate change impacts. Early warning systems (EWS) are essential to ensure the sustainability of agricultural systems, safeguarding the food production capacity and welfare of people related to agriculture directly or indirectly. Hence, it is the key component of any adaptation strategy. EWS should be integrated into information and communication technology (ICT) affordable and appropriate to local situation. The UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) should promote, in collaboration with relevant international organizations, measures to support adaptation of agro-ecosystems to the adverse effects of climate change. Korea had submitted its opinion on the development of early warning systems in relation to extreme weather events. The SBSTA 42 took note of the views submitted by Parties during the two insession workshop held at this session, and agree to consider the reports on those workshops at SBSTA 43. Also, it will continue its works referred to in paragraphs 87 ~ 89 of document FCCC/SBSTA/2014/2.

생물다양성은 ‘생태계 서비스’를 통해 기후변화의 ‘완화(mitigation)’과 ‘적응(adaptation)’에 중요한 기여를 하고 있다. 또한, 기후변화 와 생물다양성은 상호 밀접하게 연결되어 있는바, 기후변화는 생물다양성에 영향을 미치고, 생물다양성도 기후변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 보고 되고 있다. 생물다양성의 보전에 관한 포괄적 국제환경규범인 ‘생물다양성협약’에서는 생물다양성과 기후변화에 관한 많은 결정문을 채택하여 왔으며, 2001년부터 ‘생물다양성과 기후변화에 관한 특별기술전문가그룹’을 설치․운영하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해양산성화(ocean acidification), 해양시비(ocean fertilization), 바이오연료 등 최근 생물다양성협약 당사국회의에서의 기후변화 관련 논의동향을 분석하고, 향후 우리나라의 대응방향을 고찰해 보았다.
