Abstract:

Climate change emerges as a serious threat and challenge to the sustainable development of developing countries as well as developed countries in the world, especially in East Asia. The region is among the most vulnerable areas of climate change due to its long sea coast, high population concentration at the coastline and dependency on agriculture and resources. The climate changes impacts on economy and society are significant and longlasting, which cause negative effects on the sustainable development. It compounds the pressure on natural resources and environment associated with rapid urbanization, industrialization and economic development, which brings about policy challenges to this region such as food security, energy security, environment resources, carbon emissions reduction targets and social security.

Key words: climate change, sustainable development, environment, East Asia, policy challenges

摘要：

气候变化已成为全球，特别是东亚国家可持续发展的挑战性问题。东亚地区由于海岸线长，人口密度大，经济对农业和资源依赖性强，极容易受气候变化的影响，而且影响深，持续时间长，制约了经济和社会的可持续发展。由于快速的城市化、工业化和经济发展，气候变化对资源和环境也构成威胁，使国家在食品安全、能源安全、环境和资源、减少碳排放和社会安全等方面的政策面临挑战。
