This study aims to analyze the features of adaptation governance of local governments by applying a multi-level governance framework, and to draw policy implications. We analyzed changes in governance of 17 metropolitan cities/provinces, and 33 municipalities in terms of horizontal and vertical cooperation in the process of developing 'The Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan' and its implementation stage. The result shows that the plan contributed to the higher level of vertical cooperation between the central and the local governments to a certain extent, however, during the implementation stage, the level of the partnership decreased due to the absence of governance mechanism. These trends were statistically significant at the level of municipalities. The role of Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC) was also diminished after establishing the plan. The horizontal partnership level among the relevant departments of the local governments showed no significant change as the level was low even in the planning stage. Though Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has increased a bit, it was statistically significant only in the municipalities. Moreover, there was no governance mechanism for PPP or it did not work properly. Based on the results above, it is recommended that the effectiveness of the plans should be increased and support for climate change partnerships or forums at a local level that promotes adaptive capacity is needed. The role of metropolitan cities and provinces should be strengthened through building a multi-level partnership structure. Governance institutionalizing for monitoring and evaluation is also needed.

기후변화의 지역적 광역성과 장기성으로 기후변화 문제는 일개 국가의 노력만으로는 해결할 수 없는 전지구적 난제로 자리 잡고 있다. 따라서 수직적으로 전세계(global), 지역(regional), 국가(national), 지방(local) 수준의 수직적 거버넌스가 중요하다. 또한 각 수준에서 정부, 기업, 민간의 수평적 거버넌스가 조화롭게 작동할 때 복잡한 기후변화문제에 대한 해결 실마리를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 1990년부터 2018년까지 29년간 일간신문에서 기후변화라는 주제어를 가진 약 24,000건의 기사에 나타난 기후변화에 대한 수직적·수평적 거버넌스와 이슈트렌드 등을 분석하였다. 분석결과 우리나라에서는 수직적 측면에서 글로벌 기후변화 이슈를 중앙정부는 적극적으로 참여하고 있으나, 동북아와 같은 지역적 논의는 거의 없었다. 수평적 측면에서는 정부 중심의 논의가 주류를 이루고 있고 민간 시민단체의 참여나 기업의 참여는 부족하였다. 향후 기후변화에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서는 수직적 측면에서는 지역적 협력에 대한 논의와 함께 기후변화가 직접적으로 행동에 옮겨질 수 있는 지방수준에서 실질적인 논의가 활발히 이루어져야 한다. 또한 수평적인 측면에서는 개발시대의 관주도적 태도에서 벗어나 시장메커니즘을 적극적으로 활용할 수 있는 방안과 시민사회의 참여를 유도할 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 이를 위해 기후변화대응 기본법 등의 제정을 통한 제도적 정비를 제안하였다.

Joseph S. Nye defined soft power as the power of attraction to affect the behavior of other states through the use of non-coercive instruments including culture, political values and foreign policy. Over the last two decades, environmental issues have grown in importance on the international agenda and become critical components of states' foreign policy-making. This paper aims to analyze environmental foreign policy as a soft power instrument focusing on two major rising powers: China and India. Traditionally, China and India had been reluctant to make any commitments in the field. However, they have shown greater willingness to act in global environmental governance in the past decade. They started playing more active roles in global climate change negotiations and supported a number of initiatives. Their current rise in global environmental governance has even been praised by the international community as the Paris agreement case demonstrated. This study evaluates China's and India's recent efforts in global environmental governance with a focus on climate change negotiations linking their constructive position to their soft power potential. It is argued that environmental issues are used by these two states as foreign policy strategy to gain more influence in international politics. This study finds out that China's climate-related environmental diplomacy has been more ambitious than that of India and thus has been closer to fulfill its potential as a soft power asset.

Recently, natural disasters caused by climate change have become more frequent across the world. Our country is also not exceptional, and it is urgent to come up with appropriate measures in the agricultural sector as the size and intensity of drought are becoming severe. Consequently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food has continuously raised the need for efficient water management and governance to overcome the periodic drought. Thus, there is a need for water-saving education and water conservation governance for sustainable and efficient use of agricultural water. Governance is a cooperative mechanism involving various stakeholders, such as central, local, civil society, and businesses, to solve regional or social problems, with different definitions and concepts depending on the field or scope. In this study, we aim to present basis of a governance framework for direct water management participation involving the key agricultural water use stakeholders to imbibe the culture of water savings and conservation practices. Based on this, water-saving governance was established and operated in Gyeongju and Yeoju, in South Korea as a 'water conservation practice', while the water management status of local farmers, the reliability and importance of stakeholders, and the need for governance were investigated. The results indicate that the involvement of various stakeholders in the governance of water management yielded water-saving effects. This study provides the directions of making a framework for water-saving governance establishment and operation. It is expected that sustainable agricultural water use can be achieved in response to climate change if the governance builds and operates with agricultural water use stakeholders based on the continuous government supports.

2015년 6월 6일 "유엔기후변화협상에 관한 세계시민회의"이라는 이름의 전 세계적 시민참여 프로그램이 세계 77개국에서 동시에 개최되었다. 세계시민회의는 올해 말에 프랑스 파리에서 열리는 유엔기후변화협상을 겨냥하여 지구촌 곳곳의 시민들의 목소리를 집약함으로써 기후변화에 대한 국제적 의사결정에 영향을 미치고자 하는 범지구적 기후변화 공론장인데, 한국도 올해 처음으로 여기에 참여하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 세계시민회의의 배경과 목적이 무엇이고, 한국에서는 세계시민회의가 어떻게 전개되었으며, 궁극적으로 그것이 '지구적 숙의 거버넌스'(global deliberative governance)의 구축이라는 관점에서는 또한 어떻게 평가될 수 있는가를 분석하였다. '지구적 숙의 거버넌스'의 구축에 대한 평가에 있어서는 숙의 민주주의, 과학기술 시민참여, 지구적 시티즌십이라는 개념들을 지적 자원으로 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 유엔기후변화협상에 관한 세계시민회의는 기후변화라는 지구적인 문제에 대해 지구적인 차원에서 숙의하는 '지구적 숙의 거버넌스'로 파악될 수 있으며, 거기에 참여한 한국의 시민들은 지구시민사회의 일원으로서 지구적 시티즌십을 형성할 기회를 갖게 되었음을 알 수 있었다.

South Korea's energy policy has been historically established through an energy production structure that relies on thermal and nuclear power generation in relation to a centralized 'Hard Energy System'. However, climate change issues are forcing the transition to renewable energy, and it is crucial for local governments to enable this. This study analyses Seoul city's local energy governance, which is known as One Less Nuclear Power Plant Initiative, by applying the collaborative governance framework inspired by Ansell and Gash (2008) and the Reflexivity framework of Confucianism. It is considered that the local energy governance model of Seoul city can be used as a model by other local governments, and it will eventually lead to a decentralized energy system in this era of energy transition.

The aim of this study is to investigate the fashion industry's response to climate change and how these discussions unfolded at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Climate change response projects by B Corp-certified fashion companies are examined, focusing on stakeholder efforts and reviewing online media reports. Text data were collected from web documents, interviews, and op-eds relating to COP28 from December 2018 to April 2024 and analyzed using text mining and semantic network analysis to identify critical keywords and contexts. The analysis revealed that the fashion industry is fulfilling its environmental responsibilities through various strategies, prompting changes in consumer behavior by advocating sustainable consumption, including carbon removal, energy transition, and recycling promotion. Stakeholders in online media and those present at COP28 discussed issues relating to climate change in the fashion industry, focusing on environmental protection, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable material usage, and social responsibility. Key issues at COP28 included policy and regulation, climate change response, energy transition, carbon emissions management, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Additionally, by examining the main collections exhibited at the fashion show during COP28, the study analyzed how messages about climate change were conveyed. Fashion companies communicated the industry's response through exhibitions and fashion shows, suggesting a move toward balancing environmental protection and economic growth through the development of sustainable materials, the expansion of recycling and reuse practices, and the modern reinterpretation of cultural heritage.
