Yunlin County 106 annual execution plans in response to climate change

Absrtact
The influence of the global climate change and the greenhouse effect has become increasingly significant and the human power alone cannot immediately reduce emissions of greenhouse gas. We should think over how people can adapt to the impact and influence of climate change through changes in social and economic development patterns, and continue to seek survival, good life, and development under extreme climate and warming effect. In order to respond to global climate change and to put Executive Yuan's "The Program of National Climate Change Adaptation Policy" into practice the, considering that the causes and mechanisms of the climate change and extreme climate phenomena are still not fully defined and understood by people. We can only avoid the troubles resulting from the impact of climate change with the public participation and engagement. Therefore, the Program will be conducted in the ways of checking and managing targets for greenhouse gas emissions, discussing the climate change adaptation strategy, and publicizing the climate change adaptation plan in the county. The implementation schedule of the Program is from June 29, 2017 to November 30, 2017, and the Yunlin County's adaptation strategy in response to climate change has been completed. By ways of the agricultural production, water resources of biodiversity, land use and other adaptation strategies and the formulation of action plan in the Eight Fields, the County has been provided with the primary direction of promoting responses to climate change. The climate change adaptation plan is promulgated to the public and to promote the implement energy conservation and carbon reduction in our daily lives to achieve the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example: selecting correct energy-saving products, selecting local food ingredients, and saving energy to deepen the environmental protection concept and practice in folklore activities, conducting climate change study camps to understand the causes and impacts of climate change and greenhouse effect, and learning how to reduce pollution; during the tourist visit to ecological ports, understanding how the port areas reduce pollution and shore power used by the stand-by vessels to lower the carbon emission. Also, a large number of solar power generation facilities in the port areas are installed to effectively use the green energy. Conduct the climate change courses, so that people can understand the current status of their own land, as well as gain valuable knowledge such as climate change adaptation methods, experience in energy conservation and carbon reduction, being friendly to the ecological environment, and the importance of reducing carbon emission for protection of the earth. Implement the first batch of emission source declaration lists that should be checked for registered greenhouse gas emissions in 2016 and verify the data on the spot, with the total of 19 companies having completed the data and the online registration data are consistent. Compare to the same list of 19 manufacturers in 2015, the total emissions in 2016 were reduced by 2,589,940 metric tons of CO2e, which was approximately 4.7%. In this year, the concept of environmental conservation of low-carbon education, renewable energy, etc. for the elementary school students was nurtured through training courses by commentators to promote ideas of low-carbon energy and renewable energy.
