Abstract

Recently, climate change is a threat to a wide range of areas such as water resources, ecosystems, forests, agriculture, industry and energy. In particular, in the case of agriculture with high climate dependence, the actual level of damage is serious due to the increased risk of disasters as the occurrence of extreme weather such as drought, heavy rain, typhoon and heat waves increases.BR Therefore, in this study, the concept of evaluating climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity was established for the evaluation of vulnerability to climate change in the agricultural sector of Korea.BR In addition, in order to Integrated Assessment the vulnerability of climate change in the whole agricultural regions of Korea, which is classified and managed by sector, climate influencing factors such as drought and heavy rain were selected. And evaluation groups for agricultural sectors such as crops, livestock, and rural water were selected. Based on this, a total of 27 integrated assessment index were developed for the integrated assessment of climate change vulnerability in the agricultural sectors.BR Also, the evaluation was performed by applying the integrated evaluation index, and in particular, the characteristics of climate change in the coastal area were analyzed.BR The most important significance of this study established an integrated assessment methodology for climate change vulnerability in the whole agricultural regions of Korea, which has not yet been established amid the climate change crisis. And based on this, an indicator to comprehensively evaluate climate change vulnerability was developed and presented. In addition, an integrated information management platform with information accumulation, management, and monitoring functions was established for adaptation to climate change. This is significant in establishing a framework for adaptation to climate change in the Whole agricultural sectors.
