Abstract

The mainstreaming of climate change adaptation is a key process that embeds adaptation in all sectors’ decision-making processes. In order to achieve successful adaptation, we need a socio-ecological transformation that is enabled by robust decision-making which prioritises adaptation. However, measuring the status of adaptation mainstreaming is quite challenging, and few studies have elucidated differences in adaptation mainstreaming among sectors; we therefore propose an assessment framework that does so. Three dimensions illustrating the pathways of adaptation mainstreaming are suggested: awareness, adaptation readiness and advanced implementation. We identify barriers, opportunities and differences among the three sectors of biodiversity conservation, forest management and water management in South Korea. Our results uncover different pathways to mainstreaming adaptation. Levels of awareness and readiness in relation to risk information, institutional arrangements and the active practical implementation of adaptation measures were found to be highest in the water management sector. In the biodiversity conservation sector, levels of active perception, preparation and implementation of adaptation measures in national sectoral policies were found to be relatively low. We also identify the most common barriers and required resources to mainstreaming adaptation and suggest priority entry points for each sector, including the abundant provision of sector-specific risk information and adoption guideline, awareness-raising on national climate change risk, improvements on organizational support, and reinforcing and the preparation of in-house monitoring and evaluation systems. Overall, this study offers insights into the measurement of adaptation mainstreaming by assessing pathways to successful adaptation. As assessing gaps and progress in adaptation is essential for the facilitation of transformational change, it is critical to examine long-term mainstreaming across diverse sectors.

评估将气候变化适应纳入主流的部门途径和障碍
气候变化适应的主流化是将适应纳入所有部门决策过程的关键进程。为了实现成功的适应,我们需要通过优先考虑适应的有力决策来推动社会生态转型。然而,衡量适应主流化的状况相当具有挑战性,很少有研究能阐明各部门在适应主流化方面的差异;因此,我们提出了这样一个评估框架。我们提出了适应主流化途径的三个维度:意识、适应准备和先进实施。我们确定了韩国生物多样性保护、森林管理和水资源管理三个部门之间的障碍、机遇和差异。我们的研究结果揭示了适应主流化的不同途径。我们发现,水管理部门在风险信息、制度安排和积极实际实施适应措施方面的意识和准备程度最高。在生物多样性保护领域,国家部门政策中对适应措施的积极认识、准备和实施水平相对较低。我们还确定了适应主流化的最常见障碍和所需资源,并为各部门提出了优先切入点,包括提供大量针对具体部门的风险信息和采用指南、提高对国家气候变化风险的认识、改善组织支持以及加强和准备内部监测和评估系统。总之,本研究通过评估成功适应的途径,为适应主流化的衡量提供了见解。由于评估适应方面的差距和进展对于促进转型变革至关重要,因此研究不同部门的长期主流化至关重要。

期刊介绍: Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on the use of knowledge and information regarding the consequences of climate variability and climate change in decision and policy making on climate change responses from the near- to long-term. The concept of climate risk management refers to activities and methods that are used by individuals, organizations, and institutions to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making. Its objective is to promote sustainable development by maximizing the beneficial impacts of climate change responses and minimizing negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.
