This study examines the impacts of climate change that are likely to have large social impacts through network and topic analysis of climate change impacts covered in the IPCC Assessment Reports 1-6, which are considered the most authoritative literature for predicting the impacts of climate change. The analysis identified five major impact areas with great ripple effects: water resources management, conservation of marine environment, climate and health, natural disaster response, and food supply.
The report assessed the legislative activities focused on the five major impact areas of climate change, and analyzed the status of bill proposals. Additionally, to supplement the analysis of the rationale and key contents of the proposed bills, the existing major laws related to areas where significant impacts are expected but have limited or no bill proposals (climate and health, food supply, and natural disaster response) were examined.
Considering the reality that climate change is difficult to become a major agenda in all policy areas, the report suggested it may be worth considering the enactment of climate change adaptation laws to ensure stable implementation of key policies to enhance climate change resilience, and proposed a legislative agenda for the high-impact areas of climate change.
