Book Description
Climate change will impact ecosystems and production processes. Thus, adaptation to climate change has become a prevalent concept in environmental politics worldwide. In South Korea, climate change is expected to be above the global average. As response, the South Korean government has initiated climate change adaptation in diverse sectors. In this book, the entire process, from formulation and development, implementation and reaction of involved people is examined in a particular sector, agriculture. Theoretically framed as an Actor-Network, this study highlights current developments of South Korean politics, the tensions of urban-periphery development, and the status of agriculture.

Book Description
In the full recognition of seriousness of climate change problems, Korea an-nounced a new policy towards greening its economy. In his address marking the 60th anniversary of Korea's foundation in 2008, President Lee Myung-bak declared 'Low Carbon Green Growth' as the country's new vision to lead the country's development for the next decades. In 2009, the government announced the 'National Strategy for Green Growth' up to 2050, to be gradually implemented through five-year plans. The national strategy envisages three main objectives, such as (1) mitigation of climate change and the strengthening of the country's energy independence, (2) creation of new growth engines, and (3) improvement of the quality of people's lives and enhancement of Korea's international status. These goals are pursued by 10 designated policy directions, such as mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, development of green technologies, creation of a green homeland and others.
