response system was rather weak in coordinating ministries. For this reason, the Office for Government Policy Coordination of the Prime Minister acted as a control tower, which oversaw the reduction of greenhouse gases by ministries. The Ministry of Strategy and Finance, instead of the Ministry of Environment which originally was responsible for management of ETS, has established and coordinated policies related to the allocation of emission rights since May 2016 during the Park Geun-hye government. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport manage greenhouse gas reduction within their own policy areas. In case of climate adaptation, each ministry is in charge of its own field but the Ministry of Environment plays a headquarter role. Currently, the Moon government has tried to rearrange climate policy authority to give more power to the Ministry of Environment.
