title = "Status of Climate Change Adaptation in Northeast Asian Region",
abstract = "Differences in the political systems and the economic conditions of each country in the northeast region indeed lead to diversity in terms of climate change vulnerabilities. These differences cast strong shadows on the types and scale of adaptation plans and measures started in the region. Keeping context specificity in mind, this chapter summarizes the perspective of climate change impacts, vulnerabilities of key sectors and society, and status of adaptation measures including development of national adaptation strategy and action plans in China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia. Further it compares commonalities and gaps amongst the countries. Apart from a separate introduction for each nation, it also gives a comprehensive discussion focusing on the eight indicators described in the framework chapter. This chapter presents a comprehensive picture of the latest adaptation measures in four countries which will deepen understanding on current adaptation efforts and gaps for enhancing adaptation actions in each country.",

note = "Funding Information: Japan{\textquoteright}s Ministry of Environment (MOEJ) initiated the S-4 research Project for Comprehensive Projection of CC Impacts, a Global Environment Research Fund Strategic R&D Area Project. The project was completed in FY2009. That project revealed that large climate-induced impacts will appear in key areas such as water resources, forests, agriculture, coastal zones, and human health, and that there are especially vulnerable regions for each. Building on this work the S-8 project, called the Comprehensive Study on Impact Assessment and Adaptation for CC, began in 2010 with the goal of formulating adaptation measures and feasibility assessments with regard to realizing a safe and secure CC adaptive society (Mimura eta l. 2014). The objectives of the project include development of an advanced impact/adaptation assessment model (specifically a bottom-up model); to obtain a more detailed understanding of the physical and economic impacts, as well as an estimation of the effects of implementing various adaptation measures. In addition, it aimed to develop monitoring methods at the prefectural and municipal levels in order to understand issues at that level of detail. Additionally, the project also analysed the order of priority and cost-effectiveness of implementing adaptation measures elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region. This section included developing indexes for the assessment of vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation effects as applicable to developing countries. Going forward these are to be developed and standardized, in part filling the gap in capability outlined above. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.",
