Climate change has various scopes of impact on the society, economy and environment, increasing the frequency and intensity of weather- and climate-related disasters, challenging the recovery and resilience of social systems, affecting the acquisition and distribution of resources and exacerbating the inequality among social groups. Under the cross conditions of ethnicity, gender, age, etc., children and women of indigenous peoples have almost been muted on climate change issues.
This difference in "voice volume" also indicates the lower extent of participation from the children and women of indigenous peoples in climate change knowledge and awareness issues as well as the lack of methods of participation and implementation, leading to the spread of inequality.
To this end, the research project refers to relevant international conventions (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, etc.) to develop a climate change knowledge promotion kit, providing 17 campus courses for vulnerable groups (participation from 605 students, 94 teachers), 3 climate change knowledge education workshops (68 on-site, 364 online) to collect relevant opinions; consolidating the practices and views of other administrations (Britain, Germany, the U.S. and Sweden) or relevant international organizations on vulnerable groups, coupled with analysis of public issues and 2-round discussions at expert consultation meetings, and eventually putting forward feasible policy recommendations for Taiwan.
This research project intends to put forward policy recommendations on the "human-rights based approach to climate change" and to integrate recent important development in human rights works in Taiwan, so that it helps the Environmental Protection Agency of the Executive Yuan achieve greater success on climate change and human rights issues.
Specific recommendations include: using land-friendly management to promote carbon sinks as an entry point for knowledge and capacity building , encouraging women and indigenous peoples to engage in the STEM field; sharing the benefits of climate change as a concept linking the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to gather cross-sectoral strength; applying the "National Human Rights Action Plan" as a promotion platform to assist cross-functional communication and deepen the connotation of climate change and human rights.
