The enhanced plan considers climate disasters experienced by South Korea: flooding in the metropolitan area ('22.8), typhoon in Pohang ('22.9), drought in Gwangju, Jeollanam-do ('22.11), forest fire in Gangwon-do ('22.3), and strengthens the existing Third National Climate Change Adaptation Plan 2023 (2021-2025). It incorporates the latest IPCC climate projections and enhanced responses to extreme weather events, along with actionable implementation plans.
The four strategic directions are as follows:
- Improving climate forecast accuracy and enhancing public access to adaptation information;
- Adapting critical infrastructure to future climate risks and strengthen disaster response capabilities;
- Strengthening the resilience of living spaces and infrastructure while enhancing adaptation in agriculture, fisheries, and ecosystems; and
- Strengthening legal frameworks and foster collaboration among stakeholders, including national and local governments, industry, and the financial sector.
