One of the factors attributed to the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters in recent years is climate change. Among the countermeasures against climate change, those aimed at preventing or mitigating its adverse effects on human and natural systems are referred to as“adaptation measures.”The Climate Change Adaptation Act, enacted in 2018, primarily focused on regulations concerning plans and organizations, positioning itself as a policy-driven law. However, with the 2023 amendment of the Climate Change Adaptation Act, specific adaptation measures to address heatstroke were included. The key adaptation measures span seven major areas: agriculture, forestry, fisheries, water environment and water resources, natural ecosystems, natural disasters and coastal areas, health, industrial and economic activities, and public and urban life. Among these, the field of natural disasters and coastal areas has seen significant progress in terms of the development of legal frameworks for adaptation. Nevertheless, in practice, local governments have made limited progress in planning and implementing specific adaptation measures. The main factors contributing to this include the lack of scientific knowledge necessary for assessing the impacts of climate change, insufficient awareness and shared understanding of adaptation measures, limited administrative resources, and an overemphasis on mitigation efforts. Additionally, two potential legal challenges associated with advancing adaptation measures are the legality of considering climate change risks and the national responsibility for implementing adaptation measures. |
