The climate industry could be defined as the group of industries responding to world climate change compacts. This study confined it to renewable energy and analyzed the economic impacts of Korean renewable industry, using 2009 Input-Output Table. This study estimated that Korean renewable industry made the production-induced impact of 1.1644 won(Korean money), and the value-added-induced impact of 0.3544 won through an increase in output growth of 1 won. Its job-creation impact is analyzed to correspond to 10.065 labors through an increase in output growth of 1 billion won. And its industrial linkage effects including forward and backward ones are analyzed not to be so great as expected. According to these results, some policies vitalizing Korean renewable industry and relating industries to its value-chain as new growth engines are recommended.

전 세계적으로 기후변화가 심화됨에 따라 기상이변으로 인한 홍수, 가뭄, 태풍 등의 기상재해가 급격히 증가하고 있으며, 피해규모는 물론 생명과 재산피해도 증가하는 추세이다. 기후변화에 의한 온도상승은 증기압을 더 증가시켜 홍수를 유발할 수 있는 강우의 잠재력을 증가시키고 있다(IPCC, 2001). 즉, 수문순환 과정을 빠르게 진행시키고 극한 수문사상의 빈도를 증가시키고 있기 때문에 기후변화가 홍수 재해 및 관리에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 그에 따른 구조적, 비구조적 대책을 수립하는 것은 미래 치수계획에 있어 아주 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IPCC 5차 평가보고서(AR5, 2013)에서 제시한 RCP 시나리오를 이용하여 경안천 유역의 홍수 범람을 모의하고 이에 따른 홍수피해액을 산정하였다. RCP4.5 시나리오와 RCP8.5 시나리오를 사용 하였으며, 목표기간별로(Reference : 1971~2005년, 목표기간I : 2006~2040년, 목표기간II : 2041~2070년, 목표기간III : 2071~2100년) 강우 유출분석 모형에 적용해 미래 기후변화가 경안천 유역의 홍수범람에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 다차원홍수피해산정법(MD-FDA)을 통해 홍수 피해액을 추정하였다. 이를 통해 끊임없이 발생하는 자연재해로부터 보다 경제적 효과적으로 홍수피해 저감효과를 증대시킬수 있는 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 과거 강우자료 (1971-2000)와 대표농도경로 RCP 4.5와 8.5 (2071-2100)를 사용하여 RBSN(Rain Barrel sharing Network)의 효과를 비교 검토 하였다. IPCC 5차 평가 보고서에 의하면 앞으로의 기후변화에 있어 우리나라의 강수량은 온실가스 배출량을 저감에 관계없이 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 이것은 활용가능한 수자원이 늘어나지만, 장마와 집중호우로 인한 피해가 증가할 수도 있는 점을 나타낸다. 이와 같은 미래 기후 변화에 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 방법으로 RBSN을 적용하여 과거 강우자료와 온실가스 시나리오 하에서의 성능을 비교하였다. RBSN의 성능을 평가하는 기준으로 신뢰성, 복원탄력성, 취약성을 사용하였다. 분석 결과 RBSN 적용 시 네트워크의 증가에 따른 신뢰성과 취약성은 기후변화 시나리오 하에서 각각 3.44%, 49.18% 향상되었고, 복원 탄력성이 16.73% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Preconception about the causes and consequences of climate change. Participants were 196 High school students who live in Seoul and Gyeong-gi Province. And data was collected through questionnaire to confirm preconception about the causes and consequences of Climate Change. After confirming with students preconceptions, 10 people randomly selected and Semi-structured interview were conducted. The findings is students did not know exactly about Ozone depletion, global warming, the greenhouse effect factors and causal relationships. And we can confirm that the student's preconception is affecting.

In response to the increasing global competition for technological supremacy to address climate change, it is crucial to develop workforce development programs in the field of climate technology to accumulate the national technological capabilities. However, these programs are rarely monitored and evaluated, and research related to monitoring and evaluation in the field of climate technology workforce development is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of workforce development programs in hydrogen energy and policy sectors on students' R&D capabilities and career aspirations in these sectors. The survey and focus group interviews with beneficiaries revealed that individual students' R&D capabilities and career confidence improved, and group-level R&D capabilities were also enhanced, and students felt greater appreciation on the significance of climate technology. The results of this study suggest that the necessary R&D capabilities to train R&D workforce in climate technology have been developed, but more measures are required to promote career development in this field.

Purpose: This study aims to propose a framework for climate change risk management by analyzing characteristics of climate-induced disasters. Method: The recent global and domestic trends of loss and damage under natural disaster events and the characteristics of climate-induced disasters were analyzed to design a framework for climate change risk management. Results: In consideration of the uncertainty of climate risk and various spatio-temporal scales of climate disasters, a new framework is suggested for comprehensive climate risk management that includes risk assessment, goal setting, planning, monitoring and evaluation, learning and adjustment. The framework aims at an iterative process that is activated by stakeholder engagement. Conclusion: Pilot studies need to be conducted to revise and polish the framework in the future, and institutional arrangements should be prepared for the effective implementation of the comprehensive climate risk management.

Climate change affects human and natural environment. Many countries, including Korea, are trying to develop climate change adaptation strategies to minimize adverse impacts of climate change. To deal with climate change efficiently, decisions have to be made among many options. The objectives of this paper is to analyzes methodologies for prioritizing climate change adaptation measures. Each methodology has strength and weakness and information requirements are differ. We find multi-criteria analysis is one of useful tools considering current level of understanding on climate change adaptation. We suggest climate change risks(timing, likelihood, intensity of climate change impacts), feasibility of policy (equity, main-streaming, democracy), effectiveness (economic effectiveness, co-benefits, propagation effects) of adaptation measures as main evaluation criteria of prioritization.

This study investigates how green infrastructure, including natural and open space such as forests, rivers, parks, and streets, could effectively counteract climate change in terms of mitigation and adaption, respectively. As a result, green infrastructure, such as forests, parks, vegetable gardens, roof gardens, pedestrian walkways, bike lanes, etc, could effectively mitigate climate change: 1) Carbon storage and sequestration; 2) Fossil fuel substitution; 3) Material substitution; 4) Food production 5) Reducing the need to travel by car. Secondly, green infrastructure, such as rivers, tree-lined streets, farmland, wetlands, dunes, wind ways, etc, could adapt to climate change: 1) Managing high temperatures; 2) Managing water supply; 3) Managing ravine flooding; 4) Managing costal flooding; 5) Managing surface water; 6) Reducing soil erosion; 7) Helping other species to adapt.

The importance of education in formulating and complementing climate change response has been widely recognized by international and national frameworks, agendas, strategies and action plans. Climate change education has the potential to meet the needs of communities to access updated information and knowledge on climate change, supporting policy development and the enhancing effectiveness of climate change response. This study develops an innovative model of Integrated Urban Climate Education (IUCE) as one suitable method for teaching and learning climate change and urbanization. This paper presents approaches, methodology and key lessons learned from the case study of IUCE in Cam Le District of Da Nang City. Findings from the study identify a number of important characteristics about the development and implementation of IUCE in a way that effectively contributes to urban resilience building. These characteristics include (1) multidimensional approaches, (2) teacher - centered base, (3) school-family-community connection, and (4) symbiosis principle.
