Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 is now a global goal and a formidable challenge. Dr. Alex Y.M. Peng, ITRI’s Executive Vice President, explains ITRI’s commitment to assisting Taiwan in achieving this goal from four aspects: zero-carbon power generation, low-carbon/zero-emission manufacturing, changing consumer and user behaviors, and CO2 capture and reuse. ITRI has been developing multiple low carbon technologies based on these sectors, and these innovations can fuel industries in transforming towards a net zero circular economy.

#減碳才是讓台灣產業與國際接軌的方法🙆♀️
有人會說,減碳只是環保團體在喊,政府紋風不動,產業消極抗拒的雲端議題,比不上大部分人更關心的經濟發展,甚至說只要談起氣候變遷就是種不接地氣的表現。
為什麼要在大家都在談論紓困、振興的時候,我要一直和大家聊「減碳」呢?
不知道大家還有沒有印象,因為疫情,地球意外獲得一些喘息的相關新聞?🌏
這幾年全球平均溫度和二氧化碳濃度持續上升,各國政府承諾的減少碳排放量卻遲遲沒進展,反而是看到越來越多的大型企業不再只把自己的使命限縮在「為股東爭取最大利潤」,而是更積極地尋求 #環境永續、#企業利益 及 #社區福祉 的三贏。
有些企業承諾在幾年內營運完全採用再生能源;有些企業採取節省更多水、電和原料的製程;甚至有些國際知名的企業會善用品牌與採購的力量,要求上下游供應鏈也必須達成對環境友善的標準。例如蘋果的「#供應商清潔能源計畫」,就逐年要求零件供應商必須達成百分之百使用再生能源生產蘋果的產品。
除了要求自己、影響別人之外,有些更積極的企業會聯合起來要求政府應該有更積極的減碳作為!
前幾天,155個總市值高達2.4兆美元的跨國公司,包括知名軟體公司Adobe、時尚品牌Burberry、知名啤酒品牌Carlsberg、可口可樂歐洲合作夥伴、高露潔-棕欖、知名家電品牌Electrolux、服飾品牌H&M、電腦品牌HP、雀巢、聯合利華和歐洲知名的電信業者Vodafone等知名企業,它們簽署了一項共同聲明,呼籲世界各國政府,在武漢肺炎疫情逐漸趨緩,政府正準備投入大量的預算為經濟紓困時,應該要 #根據最新的氣候科學證據來規劃振興方案,#讓這些為企業紓困的錢不只是讓我們回到「#正常」(normal)生活,而是一個「#更好」(better) 、更具 #前瞻性,能夠讓升溫控制在1.5°C內,以及達成2050年碳中和的 #零碳經濟(zero carbon economy)方案。
要求紓困與振興方案必須與減碳結合的「#綠色紓困」絕對不只是國內環保團體在喊喊的小事,這其實是世界許多國家和負責任的企業都在共同思考的問題。
台灣的經濟命脈和全球貿易及全球產業分工供應鏈是牢牢地綁在一起的,即使我們不自我要求,外在的供應鏈壓力也會要求企業改變。
面對防疫我們超前部署,產業減碳計畫也該如此。
從現在開始思考如何讓本土產業加入國際減碳的行列,才是讓台灣企業具備下一個階段競爭力的重要工作。
紓困特別預算目前已經提高到2100億元,而前瞻基礎建設第二期的四年特別預算4200億元也正在籌編與審議,可以預見在未來幾年台灣從中央到地方政府都會投入大量的預算做基礎建設和振興經濟,但是如果這些錢能夠讓台灣的產業體質更環保,更具備邁向零碳經濟的 #國際競爭力,這樣讓環保與發展雙贏的投資,才會讓這筆預算花得更有價值。
請和我一起 #支持綠色紓困,讓紓困和前瞻的每一分錢都能讓我們的環境與經濟雙贏。

Climate Change Emergency
每年我參加氣候會議時,只要時間可以,都會參加一場由各個宗教團體在氣候會議會場聯合在一起的祈福許願或遊行活動,不同宗教會用不同方式來祈禱,希望能影響更多人,雖然我不是天主教徒或是基督徒,但幾次的活動中,可以感受到不同宗教界的平和與憂心,都會透過各種方法來提醒世人。
一早收到世界基督教協會,看到這個 Climate Change Emergency 氣候變遷緊急的宣言,Emergency 在我們風險管理中很重要,也有應急管理 Emergency Management ,不只是救護車上的 Emergency 而已,我們真的要非常體認重視這問題了。

Statement on the Climate Change Emergency
But the earth will be desolate because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their doings.
Micah 7:13
Recent extreme weather events of increasing strength and frequency around the world together with further studies conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have jolted many into belated recognition that the climate crisis is not a distant prospect, but is upon us today.
From Hurricane Maria, Tropical Cyclone Idai, Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Hagibis which caused loss of lives and left widespread devastation in Puerto Rico, in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi, in the Bahamas and in Japan respectively, to ongoing bushfires in Australia and California, to unprecedented flooding in Bangladesh and in Venice, and to the very recent landslide following exceptionally heavy rains in Kenya, the impacts on our communities - especially the poorest and most vulnerable among us – and on the bountiful Creation that God has entrusted to human beings as stewards – are now all too tragically real.
The latest IPCC special reports on climate change, land, oceans and cryosphere confirm that climate change has become a top driver of hunger all over the world, and project rising sea levels of up to 1 metre by 2100 due to melting glaciers, water scarcity affecting nearly 2 billion people and more intense sea-level events such as storms and flooding, if warming is not kept at the safer limit of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Moreover, exceptionally destructive fires and the encroachment of industrial agriculture and mining, have greatly increased concern about runaway deforestation in the largest remaining rainforest ecosystems – the earth’s lungs, the home and heritage of many Indigenous Peoples, and a critical resource in confronting the threat of climate change. Especially in the Amazon, in the Congo Basin, and in West Papua and elsewhere in Indonesia, this resource is, often deliberately, being squandered at a perilous rate.
Children, young people and ordinary citizens have made public demonstration of their outrage at the lack of any adequate response by governments to the gravity of this global crisis, and against the backsliding by some governments. Children have been obliged to mobilize and to raise their voices to demand what adults have failed or refused to deliver – fundamental changes to our economic and social systems in order to preserve God’s Creation and their future.
Indeed, a recent research report shows that governments are currently projected to produce 120% more fossil fuels by 2030 than can be burned if the world is to limit warming to an increase of 1.5°C
In particular, the United States’ formal notification of its intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement – despite the increasingly disastrous impact of extreme weather events in the US itself – seriously undermines the best hope the international community had secured for a multilateral global response to the climate crisis. This is an abject failure and abdication of global leadership, at precisely the historical moment when such leadership is most needed. It will embolden other backsliding states. It impoverishes and imperils all of us.
The protests against widening inequality in Chile, triggering the move of the 25th Conference of Parties (COP 25) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) from Santiago to Madrid, underscore the importance of holding together the goals of sustainability and equity, and ensuring that the costs of transitioning to a carbon neutral economy are not borne by those who already have few resources. In other words, there can be no real transition without socio-economic justice.
The time for debate and disputation of established scientific facts is long over. The time for action is swiftly passing. We will all be held to account for our inaction and our disastrous stewardship of this precious and unique planet. The climate emergency is the result of our ecological sins. It is time for metanoia for all. We must now search our hearts and our most fundamental faith principles for a new ecological transformation, and for divine guidance for our next steps to build resilience in the face of this unprecedented millennial challenge.
The executive committee of the World Council of Churches, meeting in Bossey, Switzerland, on 20-26 November 2019, therefore:
Joins other faith leaders, communities and civil society organizations in declaring a climate emergency, which demands an urgent and unprecedented response by everyone everywhere – locally, nationally and internationally.
Expresses its bitter disappointment at the inadequate and even regressive actions by governments that should be leaders in the response to this emergency, especially inaction to stop fires and deforestation, the destruction of Indigenous Peoples’ ancestral lands and livelihoods, and attacks on ecological defenders; the weak commitments made under the Paris Agreement; and measures that place additional financial burdens on poor communities.
Calls on COP 25, taking place in Madrid on 2 to 13 December 2019, to:
- set the groundwork for committing to more ambitious cuts in greenhouse gas emissions as part of Nationally Determined Contributions with a view to attaining carbon neutrality by 2050 and limiting warming to not more than 1.5°C;
- ramp up commitments by wealthy nations to provide sufficient, predictable and transparent climate finance to low-income nations for adaptation and resilience-building;
- strengthen the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage to include finance to support people and communities affected by the impacts of the climate emergency; and
- promote actions to engage and learn from Indigenous Peoples in and beyond the UNFCCC process, protect biodiversity, combat deforestation, encourage agro-ecology and construct circular and redistributive economies.
Invites UN system partners, consistent with the critical research and policy advice emanating from UN sources, to examine and divest from fossil fuel investments in their own banking systems and pension funds.
Calls on member churches, ecumenical partners, other faith communities and all people of good will and moral conscience to find the means whereby we can make a meaningful contribution in our own contexts to averting the most catastrophic consequences of further inaction and negative actions by governments – and may join in confronting this global crisis through concerted advocacy for climate change mitigation and adaptation, zero fossil fuel use and a “just transition”, as well as through local action, everywhere – in our fellowship, our churches, our communities, our families, and as individuals.
