摘要

氣候變遷對東亞國家的糧食安全有嚴重的影響。聯合國氣候變化綱要公約（以下簡稱公約）已經認定氣候變遷將對農業造成侵害，並要求各國應準備各種調適方法以因應侵害。本文檢視公約中關於調適的條文以及現今東亞地區各國的調適政策發展，發現公約以及京都議定書已經有特定的法條要求各國發展國內或區域的調適政策與措施。而東南亞國協最近所發佈之糧食安全的策略計畫正是呼應公約的要求所做的區域調適計畫，儘管在執行部份或因各國能力與遵約的意願不同，可能在整體執行效果上有所差距，卻證明了東協國家已經開始正視並對氣候變遷與糧食安全議題有所行動。本文建議既然氣候變遷對農業的影響最大，最需要開發更多各種不同的方法與發展更多計畫以利各國相關部門應用。所以公約應該加強與聯合國糧農組織、世界衛生組織與其他國際機構的共同合作，以開發出更多的調適方法與技術供各國參考。

Climate change causes serious food security risk for East Asian countries. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has recognized that the climate change will impact agriculture and all nations should prepare adaptations to the impacts on food security. This article reviews the context of adaptation rules and current policy development in East Asian region. The UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol have established specific rules for countries to develop national or regional adaptation policies and measurements. The current development of the ASEAN Strategic Plan on food security is inspiring, but the commitments to implementation by its members remain an issue of concern. We suggest that the UNFCCC enhances co-operation with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other international organizations to further develop methodologies and technologies for all parties. Our findings suggest that agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors in terms of risks associated with climate change and distinct programmatic initiatives are necessary. It's imperative to promote co-operation among multilateral organizations, including the UNFCCC, FAO, World Health Organization, and others.
