The purpose of this study was to review the document discussed in the 41st and 42nd OECD Joint Working Party on Agriculture and the Environment (JWPAE) meetings and provide the Korean position and additional comments about each document of the meetings. Also, the researchers attended the OECD JWPAE meetings in Paris in order to provide professional opinions and available data information, and we reviewed how to apply the meeting results to the Korean agricultural sector policies. In addition, we analyzed the UN Sustainale Development Goals (SDG) and differences between before and after New Climate Regime to suggest the direction of future agricultural policies. In the 41st JWPAE meeting, green growth (energy use and efficiency in agro-food chain), agriculture water hotspots, climate change and agriculture (synergies and trade-offs between agricultural productivity and policies coping with climate change), barriers to the climate-friendly agricultural policies, evaluation of environmental impact of agricultural policies, biodiversity (land use and ecosystem services in agriculture), unintentional results of nitrogen cascade in conservation, effects of climate change on international trade were discussed. In the 42nd JWPAE meeting, the same agenda including green growth, agricultural water hotspots, evaluation of environmental impact of agricultural policies, climate change and agriculture, biodiversity, in addition to collection and dissemination of agri-environmental indicators were discussed. In this study, we summarized about the SDG and New Climate Regime in this report and how to match the future direction of Korean agriculture policies in accordance with the SDG and climate-smart agriculture (CSA) system as an alternative for the New Climate Regime. We would like to take opportunities to prepare JWPAE meetings in advance, strengthen the network among OECD member countries, and to introduce and apply the advanced foreign case studies and theoretical frameworks to the Korean agricultural sector and environmental issues. Moreover, the final report of this study can be used disseminate the recent trends of OECD JWPAE discussions and share information about them. We also expect that this kind of information sharing would help to collect Korean experts’ opinions about the next JWPAE agenda and to make Korean delegation's comments and opinions more elaborate and logical.
