The work of this project can be divided into seven major tasks, including "low-carbon sustainable home operation system," "counseling communities to build low-carbon sustainable actions," "handling climate change education, training and promotion," "promoting green building," "promoting localized low-carbon actions," "promoting greenhouse gas control implementation plan," and "promoting business greenhouse gas inventory and registration operations.
Regarding the low-carbon sustainable home certification operation, Taitung County has spent eight years to successfully obtain silver-level certification at the County level this year, and has added 3 townships and 12 villages to the list this year, and 4 villages to the bronze level. Among them, 6 bronze and 5 finalists at the township level and 2 silver, 25 bronze and 58 finalists at the village level, with a participation rate of 61.2% and a certification rate of 19.4% (higher than the national average of 15.8%). In addition, we assisted 3 villages to participate in the EPA's competition this year, winning Excellence Award, finalist and professional award.
In terms of providing guidance to communities in building low-carbon sustainability initiatives, we continue to use the six key functions of a low-carbon sustainable home as the principle to help 10 communities/tribes in the region to implement low-carbon sustainability actions, including green building cooling measures, thermal insulation improvement, agricultural waste reuse and other low-carbon sustainability action projects with carbon reduction benefits, with a total carbon reduction of approximately 17,554 kg CO2e. In addition, we held a workshop and a seminar on net zero carbon emission to promote low-carbon behavior through mutual exchange and growth among the community, so as to promote and implement the concept of low-carbon sustainability into people's daily lives.
To promote localized low-carbon action, Luye Township was used as a demonstration area for net-zero carbon emissions, and the greenhouse gas structure was inventoried, and a net-zero carbon transformation path with long-term planning was proposed. Taitung city street corners, idle vacant lots, and dirty spots are being renovated, with a total greening area of 1,603 square meters and an estimated annual carbon reduction of 9,057 kg CO2e. In addition to beautifying the city and improving the messy spots, it also enhances the image of quality living environment in Taitung County.
Greenhouse gas control enforcement plan to continue Taitung County greenhouse gas control enforcement plan as the main work, to assist in consolidating the promotion strategies of various bureaus, convene inter-bureau meetings, improve and submit the second phase (110~114 years) of Taitung County enforcement plan. Promote the business greenhouse gas inventory registration operation, inventorying 11 greenhouse gas emission sources with stationary source permits in the area. Through written and on-site checks of the emission and related facilities data , check the fuel declaration data and actual usage of the establishments, in order to grasp the greenhouse gas emission situation in Taitung County.
