The implementation of this project aims to raise public awareness of climate change in Kaohsiung City, encourage they to participate in the tasks of low carbon and sustainable homeland, and also assist the city government in promoting green transformation and climate change related actions. The main goal is to implement specific measures for adaptation in Kaohsiung City, and to promote the participation of EPA’s Low Carbon and Sustainable Homeland Certification Mechanism in communities to demonstrate Kaohsiung City’s achievements in sustainability.
The implementation of the project includes “promoting low carbon and sustainable homeland related tasks”, “counseling and assisting communities to participate in certification and rating”, “counseling and assisting greening and cooling for buildings within the Kaohsiung regions”, “promoting community-based climate change adaptation training and demonstration”, “promoting energy-saving improvement in public and private places”, “promoting media promotion for low-carbon and sustainable homeland or climate change”, as well as “holding low-carbon diet activities”.
In 2021, the “Technical Consulting and Evaluation Review Group Meeting” and the Low-Carbon and Sustainable Homeland cross-sectoral meeting acted as a platform for communication between bureaus and district offices, in order to jointly enhance the effectiveness of project implementation. In addition, counseling operations have accomplished for 99 (villages) communities which registered to participate EPA’s low-carbon and sustainable homeland certification. There is one village achieved silver certifications, and the cumulative number of successful registrations has reached 504 (including 4 silver and 50 bronze certifications for villages, as well as 450 successfully registered). There had been considerable growth rate in the number of successful registrations, from 51% (2020) to 57% (2021), and we will continually increase the amount of certification in the future.
As for counseling and assisting buildings to promote low carbon and sustainable action within the city’s jurisdiction, low-carbon initiatives in thirteen communities have been completed. In generally, the public is more aware of the promotion of equipment energy saving (the use of energy-saving appliances and energy-saving lamps). It is estimated that the total annual carbon reduction can reach 8,119 kgCO2e. Regarding matching the central or private sector resources to promote energy conservation improvements in communities and schools, two projects have been completed. The Taiwan Chlorine Industries LTD. and Nan-Pu Thermal Power Plant assisted Fenglin Junior High School and Shihjia Junior High School in the improvement and replacement of lamps respectively. It is estimated that the total annual carbon reduction could reach kgCO2e.
The implementation of energy-saving and carbon-reduction is not only about policy formulation or low-carbon technology research and development. More importantly, it is necessary to build consensus and knowledge for local public, and it is the core principle that action can be widely promoted and thoroughly implemented. In order to enhance the city’s image of low carbon, as well as accelerate the action of energy-saving and carbon reduction, we will keep encouraging more districts (communities) to participate in low carbon and sustainability.
