According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change has accelerated globally and regionally, affecting both scientific and socioeconomic sectors such as water resources, agriculture, forest ecology, fisheries and health care. Among these sectors, the most vulnerable sector to climate change is water resources, including the influences of floods, droughts and changing precipitation patterns. Thus, collaborative efforts are required to understand the adverse effects of climate change and to formulate effective adaptation measures that minimize the potential damages. A number of studies related to climate change and water resources have been conducted in Korea. However, most of these studies have focused on climate change impact assessments of water resources and not on developing actual adaptation strategies for the country. For this reason, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) in Korea funded to develop national water resource management technology for climate change adaptation and to build a foundation for contributions to the global water industry. This study introduce the research fields, adaptation strategies and key performances in order to establish standardized guidelines for climate change impact assessments. It is also addressed the fundamental issues on climate change impact studies to implement effective policies and practical fields. |
