Internationally low carbon cities’ main conception is sustainability. It also directly promotes the most modern international cities to pursue two majority goals, low carbon emissions and sustainability. As a result, Taiwanese Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been developed sustainable cities locally and considered other successfully sustainable models in other cities. However, developing such a sustainable low carbon city that required to cooperate with relevant cooperation, governments and academic research centers to create appropriate solutions and policies in different cities in Taiwan. At the same time, there are some major model low carbon cities across Taiwan, which all have been participating to share their specific low carbon city problems and strategies with EPA in the conference. In addition, EPA usually cooperate with central government to set specific certain goals for each city to achieve for carbon reduction emissions. Usually, central government and EPA would update the latest carbon reduction relevant information through their official websites and conferences. Thus, most of cities would follow EPA and central government’s standard to initiative low carbon emission goals. Also. Most of different low carbon cities would also share the relevant information of low carbon sustainable managements and strategies, which in order to communicate and integrated with other cities.
In order to promote the concept of climate change adaptation and low-carbon sustainability, as well as to implement low-carbon sustainable homeland evaluation and certification, we took Hsingan Village in Yongan District as a demonstration community for climate change adaptation this year. By setting the Beigou Water Level Monitoring System, applying the APP information receiving and Line group message, it is possible to provide fish farm operators with more accurate information, and make the regulation of drainage more useful. Furthermore, the adaptation work of the community must be in connection with rolling planning in response to extreme climates, which again shows the importance of this construction. There are 33 hectares of fish farms in cooperation with fish farms pre-draining operations in HsinganVillage, Yongan District, which have up to 165,000 tons of flood storage. It is expected to reduce 11 tons of CO2e emissions, creating a good model for carbon reduction and adaptation.
Kaohsiung City Government also actively encourages enterprises to participate in the community construction and implement the concept of "take from society, and give back to society". This is for promoting the development of solar photovoltaic systems, increasing the installed capacity, and achieving the practice of a low-carbon sustainable society. We took "matching the central or private sector resources to promote energy conservation improvements in the communities " as the theme, consulting enterprises to assist “Baoshe Village in Dashe District” and “Guangin Village in Linyuan District” in setting up solar photovoltaics. From the environmental promotion action by enterprises, the public would know that it is each individual’s responsibility to care for the environment. It is important to cherish environmental resources, enhance environmental awareness, and implement the practice of energy saving and carbon reduction in daily life.
Regarding the various counseling tasks for the community within the city, the project team has accomplished the operation of 15 communities or nearby related units in setting energy-saving renovation. The promotion items included energy saver home appliances, wall planting or hedges, LED lights, aquaponics systems (earthworm), solar photovoltaic systems installation and green roofs setting. As a result, the total amount of carbon reduction can be reached at 49,576 kgCO2e. In addition, counseling operations have accomplished for 20 (villages) communities, which would register to participate EPA’s low-carbon and sustainable homeland certification. There are two villages have achieved bronze certifications, one village and one community have achieved sliver certifications in certifications rating system. On the other hand, in Kaohsiung City, the registered accumulation numbers of villages were total about 405 (included 3 sliver, 47 bronze certifications through certification rating system. There were 335 villages registered successfully).
Furthermore, the project team held two low-carbon sustainable homeland certification training courses, explained the evaluation system and assisted the communities successfully achieved the registration and bronze/silver certification. We arranged one specific community tours - Shulin Community, Qigu District, Tainan City, in order to strengthen the concept in sustainability for community representatives. The project team also held one low-carbon diet activities with sustainable green friendly restaurant. Dietitians introduced the idea of low-carbon eating to the public, and assisted them to promote low-carbon concept to their communities.
As for media promotions, the project team continuously published information and news of Kaohsiung low-carbon sustainable homeland activities, low-carbon practices of various communities, domestic and foreign low-carbon environmental protection on government’s official social media platforms, such as Facebook. In addition, the media published news with the theme "Yongan community fighting for both environment and economy, honored to receive the first low-carbon silver certification in Kaohsiung City". As one of Kaohsiung's economic and ecologically sustainable administrative districts, Yongan has also been known as the “Hometown of Grouper”, producing a lot of eco-friendly products that are rich in low-carbon sustainability. With the full cooperation of Kaohsiung City Government, villages and local enterprises, it is a well-deserved award.
