Facing the issue of global climate change, it is important for environmental educators to prepare a person who is able to understand of, communicate about, and make informed decisions on the climate change. Climate change education is to help learners understand of human influence on climate and climate's influence on them and society. This study was conducted in a way to discuss how climate change education could be implemented in Korean context. For this purpose, several documents and research articles on climate change education and communication were analyzed: Climate literacy, guidelines for K-12 global climate change education, and guidelines for effective climate change communication and message and so on. Many of the documents emphasize age appropriateness, positive thinking, participation and empowerment in climate change education while suggesting not to burden young learners with fears. Some documents such as the climate literacy suggest key concepts and/or essential principles of climate change education. Based upon the analysis, several considerations to incorporate the concepts in climate change into educational programs were suggested for further discussions.

전 세계에서 베트남은 기후 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 국가 중 하나이다. 현재 베트남의 기후 변화에 대한 대응 활동은 텔레비전, 신문, 라디오, 인터넷 등과 같은 미디어에 의존하고 있다. Facebook은 베트남 사람들이 가장 많이 사용는 소셜 네트워크이다 (베트남의 페이스북 이용자는 5800만명으로 세계 7위). 그러나 상대적으로 그것을 기후변화 대응에 이용하고자 하는 관심은 적은편이다. 이 논문에서는 Facebook의 Audience Insight Tool(AIT)과 온라인 사회학 조사 방법을 활용하여 Facebook을 통한 기후 변화 대응 활동의 현재 상태 및 효율성을 평가했다. 베트남 Facebook의 기후 변화 대응 팬 페이지의 수는 15개 정도이며, 그중 가장 인기 있는 곳의 팔로워 수가 94,721명에 이른다. 이 연구에서는 베트남에서 가장 방문자가 많은 기후 변화 대응 팬 페이지 2곳을 조사하고 평가 한 결과, Facebook을 통한 기후 변화 대응은 예상 한 것만큼 큰 효과가 없었다. 또한 온라인 설문 조사를 통해 이러한 문제의 원인을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 이 결과는 앞으로 기후 변화 대응을 할 때 Facebook과 같은 소셜 네트워크의 강점을 부각시키면서 해결책을 찾고자 하는 기관들에게 과학적인 밑거름이 될 것이다.

A recent nationwide survey reported that South Koreans perceive large corporations as the party that should be the most responsible for tackling climate change. This public opinion result offers insight into the argument that defining who is responsible for the climate change issue can guide campaigners and policymakers in designing effective communication strategies. This study examines how attributing responsibility to large corporations can affect behavioral intention to support government policy and regulation via a moderated mediation model of the perceived risk of climate change and corporate social responsibility (CSR). A nationwide online survey of 295 South Koreans was conducted. The findings reveal an indirect effect of responsibility attribution on behavioral intention through risk perception. Moreover, perceived CSR moderated the causal link between risk perception and behavioral intention, such that South Koreans reported higher levels of behavioral intention when they reported higher CSR. However, perceived CSR failed to moderate the indirect effect. These findings have implications for communication processes and policymaking to address climate change problems in South Korea.

Objectives: The mass media play a crucial role in risk communication regarding climate change. The aim of this study was to investigate the trend in journalistic reports on climate change in the daily newspapers of Korea. Methods: We selected 9 daily newspapers in Korea, which according to the ABC Association, represented 77% of newspaper circulation, out of a total of 44 Korean daily newspapers. The collected articles were from 2009 to 2011. All of the articles were sorted into the following 8 categories: greenhouse gas, climate change conventions, sea level rise, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change synthesis reports, expected damage and effect, use of fossil fuels, global warming, and mitigation or adaptation. A chi-squared test was done on the articles, which were counted and classified into cause, effect, and measurement of climate change according to the newspaper's majority or minority ownership structure. Results: From the 9 selected newspapers, the number of articles on climate change by month was greatest in December 2009. Generally, the articles vague about climate change (lack of precise data, negative or skeptical tone, and improper use of terminology) were much more common than the articles presenting accurate knowledge. A statistical difference was found based on ownership structure: the majority-owned newspapers addressed the cause of climate change, while the minority-owned newspapers referred more to climate change measurement. Conclusions: Our investigation revealed that generally Korean daily newspapers did not deliver accurate information about climate change. The coverage of the newspapers showed significant differences according to the ownership structure.

This study conducted a vulnerability assessment on Korea's physical infrastructure to provide base data for developing strategies to strengthen Korea's ability to adapt to climate change. The assessment was conducted by surveying professionals in the field of infrastructure and climate change science. A vulnerability assessment was carried out for seven climate change events: average temperature increases, sea level rise, typhoons and storm surges, floods and heavy rain, drought, severe cold, and heat waves. The survey asked respondents questions with respect to the consequences of each climate change event, the urgency of adaptation to climate change, and the scale of investment for adaptation to each climate change event. Thereafter, management priorities for infrastructure were devised and implications for policy development were suggested. The results showed that respondents expected the possibility of "typhoons and storm surges" and "floods and heavy rain" to be the most high. Respondents indicated that infrastructure related to water, transportation, and the built environment were more vulnerable to climate change. The most vulnerable facilities included river related facilities such as dams and riverbanks in the "water" category and seaports and roads in the "transport and communication" category. The results found were consistent with the history of natural disasters in Korea.

Objectives: Elevated temperatures during summer months have been reported since the early 20th century to be associated with increased daily mortality. However, future death impacts of high temperatures resulting from climate change could be variously estimated in consideration of the future changes in historical temperature-mortality relationships, mortality, and population. This study examined the future death burden of high temperatures resulting from climate change in Seoul over the period of 2001-2040. Methods: We calculated yearly death burden attributable to high temperatures stemming from climate change in Seoul from 2001-2040. These future death burdens from high temperature were computed by multiplying relative risk, temperature, mortality, and population at any future point. To incorporate adaptation, we assumed future changes in temperature-mortality relationships (i.e. threshold temperatures and slopes), which were estimated as short-term temperature effects using a Poisson regression model. Results: The results show that climate change will lead to a substantial increase in summer high temperature-related death burden in the future, even considering adaptation by the population group. The yearly death burden attributable to elevated temperatures ranged from approximately 0.7 deaths per 100,000 people in 2001-2010 to about 1.5 deaths per 100,000 people in Seoul in 2036-2040. Conclusions: This study suggests that adaptation strategies and communication regarding future health risks stemming from climate change are necessary for the public and for the political leadership of South Korea.

This study investigates public receptivity to celebrity's climate change advocacy on YouTube through a semantic network analysis. The results of this study suggest that the YouTube video generated a number of viewers' responses. Celebrity endorsement not only leaded public voices on climate change issue, but also their opinions on the celebrity endorser. This study found that most of viewers were polarized in their judgment and attitude toward the celebrity advocate either positively or negatively. This study offers an exploratory examination of the perceived star power and the role of celebrities as spokespersons for social causes. This study contributes to the theoretical foundation of the role of celebrity advocacy using social media. In addition, this study offers methodological insights into how to detect public perceptions and attitudes toward celebrity endorsement of social causes by analyzing public comments.

Recent changes in the Korean education policies are promoting the advances in science and technology and cultivating people of convergence talent. STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) educational program is Korean styled convergence program for creative competent human resources. Therefore, Therefore the aim of this study is developing convergence hand-on educational program coping with climate change for elementary school students. For development of the program, we investigated the curriculum of the elementary school about the climate change, and allocated in the creative learning standard frame. Also, we selected themes related the climate change in the curriculum and learning activity. For more effective program to build the convergence competency, we analyzed the program based on creative problem based learning process and 4 core competency(creativity, communication, convergence, caring) elements. In conclusion, the STEAM program needs to develop by school curriculum and leaner's ability. For elementary school students, the STEAM program consists with creative problem based learning process. And the convergence educational program would analyze by the creative PBL process and convergence competency elements. So, this developing program has brought the promotion of the creative convergence competent talented person for the future global environment.

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.
