Introduction
Please give a general description and introduction to your city.
Mayor : Acting Mayor Seuk-ki, Kim
Geography and Demographics
- Located in the south eastern region of the Korean Peninsula, the City of Changwon is the capital city of Gyeongsangnamdo
province. As of 2013, it is the eighth largest city in South Korea (population of 1,083,731) and the area of the city is 744Km2.
Economy
- Changwon is one of major center for heavy industries in Republic of Korea. Like Samsung, LG Electronics and Doosan, locally and
globally well-known large corporations are operating their facilities in our city. Therefore, Changwon has become a metropolitan city in
Korea whose population is equivalent to 32.5% of total population of Gyeongsangnamdo and whose budget amounts to 37.3% of the
province’s total budget.
Climate
- Located in the mid-latitude of the north hemisphere and the east region of Eurasia continent (the North Temperate Zone), Changwon
displays distinct four seasons and is affected by monsoon. The city is situated in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and its
climate is moderate, which provides its citizens with relatively warm and mild environment.
For 10 years since 2001, the average annual sunny day had been 116 days. The average temperature between 1992 and 2001 was
15 degree Celsius and the average rainfall was 1,395mm. The lowest rainfall ever recorded was 718mm in 1994.
Environmental policy “Environmental Capital”
- In 2006, with a vision of becoming a world class eco-city, where people and nature live in harmony, citizens, environmental
organizations, parliament and government of Changwon declared “Environmental Capital Changwon”. In order to achieve targets of
becoming “Korea’s environmental capital” by 2015 and “the world’s environmental capital” by 2020, the city has set four strategic
objectives, which are
- a city where the water and wind circulate,
- a city where various living species live
- a city where the energy and resources circulate
- an advanced environmentally-friendly city in harmony with citizens,
and eight action plans
- Securing the blue sky and clear air
- Forming the ecological river and supplying safe water
- Forming a vital green network
- Creating natural urban space
- Changing into a green transit system
- Forming a recyclable resource management scheme
- Sustainable energy distribution
- Forming the eco-community
With such vision and plans, the city has vigorously implemented activities not only to mitigate GHG emissions, but also to adapt
changed environment by climate change. Expanding bike road and operating [Nubija], public bike system being used by around 4,400
citizens in a day are the good examples of GHG emissions reduction activities. The city has achieved 5,900 ton/CO2 of annual
reduction through encouraging bike use. In addition, city’s policy of constructing eco-network provide citizens green area to be able to
take a break from more frequent and extent heat wave induced by climate change. Moreover, in order to contribute international efforts
of fighting against global warming, the city has held various climate change related global conference such as IPCC AR5 WG3
meeting in July, 2011.
The city promoted Green Apartment Competition and Best Neighborhoods Project with participations from communities. It was
successful to enhance the awareness of importance of environment and climate change.
Over 27,000 people were participated.

Please describe the process by which the city reviews its progress and manages overall responsibility for climate change.
Responsibility for climate change-related activities
- The highest level of responsibility for actions on climate change in the city of Changwon lies with Mayor, the mayor of the city and
department of environmental capital and person in charge with climate change in the department has direct responsibility.
Reporting
- Changwon has formed special team for responding climate change and it checks the progress of activities and reports them on
frequent basis internally. In addition, climate change related information is shared in "Progress report meeting on environmental
capital" which takes place semi-annually.
Stakeholder engagement
- Changwon has set various channels to communicate and cooperate with citizens, businesses, and academia on climate change
issues. Organizing “Environmental capital Changwon forum”, which consists of 47 people from academia, civil society, and media, is
one example of our efforts. Climate change and related policies is one of key issues in the forum.

program..
Green Apartment Certification Program Monetary reward and Recognition provide the communities
which significantly reduced the electricity and water consumption. As well as city could consider the
communities' carbon reduction activities as the rewarding point. City opened a community
competition the end of 2013. The top 5 selected city get monetary award from city administration.
Best Village Competition Program This competition program is voluntarily participating programs of
Citizens who want to make their communities as green and eco-friendly society. Each local
Community sets best village implementing committee consisted of it's residents and discusses
what would be a top priority to make it's community as environmentally sound and safe place.
Then through the audit by experts, city can announce the winner with monetary and community
award.
Every 22nd of the month, city promotes Green Day campaign to citizens. Through drawing by
electronically,city provided the winners 50,000won worth of public transportation tickets.
1.2
Please describe the impact of national and/or regional climate change activities on your city's own climate change activities.
The government of Korea has set national GHGs emission reduction target of cutting 30% based on BAU by 2020. In line with the
national target, Changwon has set its own target of reducing 3.102 million tCO2e based on BAU of 2020, and to achieve this goal 70
action plans have been set and their performances have been monitored regularly.

such as mangos and pineapples etc.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer with days temperatures reaching above 25
degree Celsius. The average days of summer between 2001 to 2010 were 112. 3 days.
However, the Meteorological office announced that the summer days will increase
137.3 days in 2041 to 2050 under RCP 4.5 though. The annual average hottest day
temperature also will reach to 20.4 in between 2041 to 2050 compare to 19.0 in 2001 to

working pattern can be change.
The average tropical night days are 4.5days from 2001 to 2010. However it will increase
to 24.9 nights between 2041 to 2050 under RCP4.5. Additionally, heat waves days(the
temperature over 33 degree Celsius) also will increase 18.9 days from 10.4 days under
RCP 4.5. Most of the populations concentrately lived in downtown area which
surrounded by mountains. The air can not flow in and out and up and down frequently.
Residents can not sleep well and the short of electiricity can make city black out.
Energy consumption would be peak. The elderly and weak people can suffer from the
heat waves.
The more rainfall days will be 3.4 days compare to 3.1 days at present. And the rainfall
intensity also will be 22.1 days from 19.8 days between 2001 to 2010. Changwon is
located on the shore of the ocean. In case of more intense rainfall at high tide, some
city areas can be flooded along with rivers. And also there are reclamated district closed
to the Masan port with residential and commercial buildings. And there are dangerous
slops in the city.
The annual rainfall amount will be increased to 2,071.8 mm compared to present
average rainfall 1,596.5mm. It has many positive effects rather negatives. the air
quality will be much better and the underwater quality can be better with not intense
rainfall.
Every summer, the city mostly faced the typhoon. At high tide, there are possibility to
occur storm surges. In 2003, city had experienced the storm surges at high tide. There
were 46 casualties and asset demaged. It is highly possible to face the disaster again.
City's coastal line is facing 321kms long. It is the 2nd longest city for the coastal line in
Korea. There are some possibility to rise a sea level in the future. city tried to prepare
the disaster of surge to removing residential area in the low land to safety places.
Physically city is surrounded by mountains. the air flow is not circulated well.
Additionally, the city structure is divided by industrial complex and residential district.
the temperature difference is almost 3 degree differences from industrial complex to
residential district.
2.0b
Please explain why the anticipated physical effects of climate change present no significant risk to your city.
2.1
Please describe any compounding factors that may worsen the physical effects of climate change in your city.
Urban heat island effect
- Changwon is located in basin and most of industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and apartments are situated in city center. Due
to such unique geographical characteristics and the concentration of buildings, heat island effect can be exacerbated.
2.2
Do you consider that the physical impacts of climate change could threaten the ability of businesses to operate successfully
in your city?
Yes
2.2a
Please explain the reasoning behind your response.
- More frequent and intense rainfall events induced by climate change may cause more frequent happening of inundation of industrial
complex located in low lying area and blackout, which will potentially decrease productivity of business due to reduction of operation
time.
- Production cost may be increased due to increased energy demand to cope with hotter summer and colder winter.

Action Description
City set up 10 million tree planting project in 2011. Every year, city tried planting trees
more than million tree, total planted 3.8 million trees during 3 years. Through the
planting, city can provide green spaces to its citizens and full of biodiversity. Especially,
city tried to plant in industrial complex areas to reduce the hot temperature. City has
planted trees and created street garden along with main streets.
City built the resting shelters for the old and weak from heat waves. Reinforcing existing
building and public spaces such as community centers and elderly welfare facilities. City
also facilitated several water fountain zones in whole city areas to reduce heat waves.
City is planning to set up the cool city strategy in the future. The white roof pilot project
will be launching in this year to combat climate change.
City built a reduction master plan for natural disasters in early 2014. According the plan,
2 places of water capture storages will be built up in low land areas in City. Additionally,
city has prepared expansions of underground sewer pipes to easy flow of intense
rainfall. City established the water pumping facilities for emergency flooding.
City has built the landslide risk mapping with 376 sites with manuals. Along with the
mapping, city also prepare the management cards for every site.
City has a plan to build a disaster prevention wall on the seashore area where once hit
by heavy typhoons and flooded.
City prepared the escaping manual from natural disaster.
City developed heat mapping by GIS not only for the surface temperature, wind
directions by seasons, biodiversity, land coverage etc. There are 30 kinds of Map
developed. Based on this mapping, city can build the strategy for climate change
adaptation.

According to the climate scenario issued by the Metrological Administration, it was
estimated that city would be vulnerable to the disease caused by climate change especially
waterborne disease, high fever and infectious disease.
Not only for the health but also for the social infrastructures, city need much more public
service.
City can face the threat for energy consumptions by seasons. Summer is getting hotter and
winter temperature is fluctuated. Government sometimes is worried about black out from
short of the electricity in hot summer. Government controls and dominates the electricity in
Korea. The energy consumption is concentrated at Seoul capital area. Local municipalities
can produce the electricity and deliver it to the capital area. There are several conflicts for
the building nuclear power generation and its delivery.

Large emitters of GHG emissions in private sectors are subject of "GHG emission
target management system" which is mandatory government regulation where all the
participants should report their emissions and are allocated reduction targets.
Carbon Point System : Points are provided to households who use less electricity or
water compared with same period in previous year. The points are given as much as
they save electricity or water and have financial value with applications of 89,853
households by 2013. The ratio reached 23% from the total households.
To encourage use of Electric vehicle (EV), Changwon utilized 81 EV and 83
charging stations so far. City tried to expand the EV in private sector to provide
monetary incentives. There were 20 EV supply in 2013.
To enhance convenience of public transportation, the city installed bus information
system at 751public buses and 665 station kiosk by 2013. City distributed UTIS
equipments to collect transportation informations for providing convenience to the
citizens. In 2013, city provided 834 UTIS equipments for the public vehicles and 800

Green home project - The city plans to provide 10,000 green homes by 2020 (2,500
green homes have been installed so far) (*Green home : environment-friendly home
that obtains energy independently using new and renewable energy sources
including photovoltaic, wind, hydrogen and fuel cell. Additionally, a green home
creates no carbon emissions and uses less energy, water and natural resources).
there were 5,304 households installed by PV on their roof tops.
City published 5 kinds of environmental education textbooks with distributions of
54,600 copies to elementury school pupils. The students can learn the importance of
the environment and the features of Changwon's climate. Additionally, city can

environment textbooks.
To enhance the city Biodiversity, city registered "Bongam Tidal Flat" as a National
Wetland Conservation Site, which is full of biodiversity with wintering migratory bird
spicies. Once it was polluted by industrial wastes, the site created as a ecological
park to enjoy the birds watching and a educational purpose.
To reduce food wastes, city sets a target to reduce 20%. City designated a food
wastes pilot street and a food and culture street with cooperation from restaurants.

“Environmental Capital”
In 2006, with a vision of becoming a world class eco-city, where people and nature live in harmony, citizens, environmental
organizations, parliament and government of Changwon announced “Environmental Capital Changwon”. Since the declaration, the
entire city’s planning has set in ways to improve environmental aspect of the city and quality of citizen’s life. In the decision making
process for each plan, its environmental impacts and contributions to enhance environmental quality are the major areas of assessing
and mitigating GHG emissions and adapting climate change are also one of key issues. For instance, when the city reformed
transportation system, not only just enhancing convenience of citizen but also reducing GHG emissions through increase in use of
public transportation and environmentally-friendly means of transportation such as bicycle, electric car are the major concerns. As a
result, the city can reduce GHG emissions by expanding bicycle road, launching free-public bicycle system “Nubija” and providing
subsidies for electric car, bike. Another example where climate change is reflected in city’s policy is constructing eco-network. By
expanding planting trees in city center, industrial complex, the city can provide its citizen green areas where they can take a break
from busy life and also can increase source of CO2 sinks.
