Abstract
    This study is a preliminary assessment of the greenhouse effect of methane (CH4) emissions in the South China Sea (SCS) on human welfare using the driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) framework and the systems approach framework (SAF). The SCS is surrounded by nations of the Asia-Pacific region that are currently experiencing rapid urbanization, industrialization, and economic growth, and is one of the most contested maritime areas of the world. Climate change may aggravate regional tensions, promote natural disasters, create climate refugees, and reduce food security by reducing the size of fish catches and crops. International environmental protection, as well as the mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change not only protect environmental sustainability, but also provide an international platform of cooperation for all countries around the SCS. The study analyzed the economic drivers and human activities that cause the pressure on the environment and increase CH4 emissions in the region. In addition, the possible future impact of climate change on human welfare is also discussed in the study. Finally, the study identified eight management responses across various spatial and temporal scales that can be useful in addressing the issue of greenhouse gas (CH4) in the SCS.
