This paper explores the development and climate change issues in terms of assistance to developing countries. In an attempt to identify policy implications the above issues will have on Korea’s development cooperation strategy, the authors review the evolution of discussions concerning climate change mainstreaming and climate financing among the international development community.
The growing consensus is that the climate change issue is not a standalone factor affecting the growth paths for developing countries. They are rather closely intertwined, and this paper reviews the relationship by focusing on climate vulnerabilities that developing countries are facing and how the two factors interact to ultimately affect development objectives such as MDGs(Millennium development goals). In this regard, OECD Development Assistance Committee(DAC) recently released a set of policy recommendations entitled ‘Integrating climate change adaptation into development co-operation’, to stress the importance of climate-related considerations in delivering development assistance projects.
This paper views the assistance to developing countries from two perspectives: historical responsibilities(climate financing) for developing countries and environmental considerations in achieving overarching development goals(climate ODA). In this regard, the issue of financial needs for developing countries to cope with climate change in order to curb its negative impacts and to adapt and respond to possible damages from climate-related disasters are closely reviewed. Increasing number of bilateral and multilateral donors have been involved in assisting developing countries in the latter’s efforts to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. At the core of the debate on financing response and adaptation measures to climate change in terms of quantity are: financing needs and options, duplications with current ODA, ODA diversion, statistical reporting as well as the governance of financing mechanisms.
As Korea is poised to expand its ‘green ODA’ through several initiatives such as the ‘East Asia Climate Partnership’, the authors conclude by suggesting Korea should adjust its strategies to integrate climate change issues into their development cooperation policy and practices as well as to identify the financing options for effective delivery of assistance to developing countries.
