The Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) will hold the "2023 Marine Climate Change Policy Forum" on the theme of "Marine Climate Change Crisis Management and Adaptation · Asia-Pacific Abnormal Climate Due to Climate Change" at 10 a.m. on the 31st at the Mayfield Hotel in Seoul.
Hosted by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and organized by KIOST, this forum is designed to forecast the social and economic changes resulting from future marine climate change and to find scientific solutions and policy directions to overcome the marine climate crisis.
The first session, under the theme "Marine Climate Change Crisis Management and Adaptation," will feature presentations in the order of ▲ SSP scenarios reflecting future socio-economic changes ▲ marine climate crisis adaptation policies ▲ impacts and projections of climate change in the fisheries sector.
This will be followed by a panel discussion to discuss adaptation policies being promoted in various fields such as land, forestry, and marine, as well as future adaptation strategies.
The second session, themed "Asia-Pacific Abnormal Climate Due to Climate Change," will include presentations on ▲ abnormal marine climate in 2022 and 2023 ▲ mechanisms of abnormal climate occurrence in the West Sea in spring 2020 ▲ polar climate change due to global warming ▲ preparation of coastal disaster vulnerability (risk) assessment methods ▲ current status, response, and prediction of fisheries disasters.
The subsequent panel discussion will focus on scientific solutions and policy directions to respond to abnormal climate in the near future due to the marine climate crisis.
President Kang Do-hyung said, "Although changes in the marine environment such as sea level rise and ocean acidification are intensifying due to climate change, the ocean remains the foundation of our economy and life," adding, "I hope this policy forum will present leading roles and measures to respond to the marine climate crisis from various perspectives."
