Abstract

Due to man-made climate change, global abnormal weather phenomena have occurred, increasing disasters. Major developed countries(military) are preparing for disasters caused by extreme weather appearances. However, currently, disaster prevention plans and facilities have been implemented based on the frequency and intensity method based on statistical data, it is not enough to prepare for disasters caused by frequent extreme weather based on probability basis. The U.S. and British forces have been the fastest to take research and policy approaches related to climate change and the threat of disaster change, and are considering both climate change mitigation and adaptation. The South Korean military regards the perception of disasters to be storm and flood damage, and there is a lack of discussion on extreme weather and disasters due to climate change. In this study, the process of establishing disaster management systems in developed countries(the United States and the United Kingdom) was examined, and the response policies of each country(military) were analyzed using literature analysis techniques. In order to maintain tight security, our military should establish a response policy focusing on sustainability and resilience, and the following three policy approaches are needed. First, it is necessary to analyze the future operational environment of the Korean Peninsula in preparation for the environment that will change due to climate change. Second, it is necessary to discuss climate change 'adaptation policy' for sustainability. Third, it is necessary to prepare for future disasters that may occur due to climate change.

인간에 의한 기후변화로 전 지구적 이상 기상현상이 발생해 재난이 증가하고 있다. 주요 선진국(군)은 극한기상 출몰에 따른 재난을 대비 중이다. 다만, 현재 방재계획·설비가 통계 데이터를 바탕으로 한 빈도·강도법을 기준으로 시행되었는데, 잦아지는 극한기상에 따른 재난을 확률 근거 기반 대비로는 부족하다. 미군과 영국군은 가장 빨리 기후변화 및 재난양상 변화 위협 관련 연구 및 정책적 접근을 해왔고, 기후변화 완화 및 적응 모두 고려하고 있다. 우리 군은 재난에 대한 인식을 '풍수해' 정도로 여기며, 기후변화 양상에 따른 극한기상과 재난에 대한 논의가 부족한 편이다. 본 연구에서는 선진국(미국과 영국)의 재난관리시스템 구축과정을 살펴보고 기후위기와 극한기상이 출몰하는 상황에서 각 국(군)의 대응 정책을 문헌분석 기법을 활용해 분석하였다. 우리 군은 빈틈없는 안보를 유지하기 위해 지속가능성과 회복탄력성에 초점을 둔 대응정책을 수립해야하며, 다음 세 가지 정책적 접근이 필요하다. 첫째, 기후변화로 변화될 환경에 대비한 미래 한반도 작전 환경 분석이 필요하다. 둘째, 지속가능성을 위해 기후변화 '적응정책'에 대한 논의가 필요하다. 셋째, 기후변화로 인해 발생 가능한 미래재난에 대한 대비가 필요하다.
