In response to international net-zero emission goals and emerging trends, Taiwan has built its climate governance framework on the "Taiwan 2050 Net-Zero Emission Pathway" and the **Climate Change Response Act**. This year, the Presidential Office established the National Climate Change Policy Council, and the Ministry of Environment passed the Carbon Fee Sub-Law, symbolizing the nation’s proactive steps in climate governance. Conducting long-term surveys on climate change and net-zero literacy facilitates data-driven policy development and supports applications aimed at enhancing climate literacy.
To continuously refine and update Taiwan’s framework and scope for segmented climate change and net-zero literacy surveys, this project encompasses questionnaire design, data analysis, public access and management of a literacy database, and the integration and promotion of an online interactive testing platform. Core and audience-specific survey questions suitable for 2024’s context were designed, targeting diverse demographic groups.
From September to October, stratified proportional random sampling, stratified quota sampling, and stratified proportional systematic sampling were used to collect responses, resulting in 2,507 valid questionnaires from the general public, 1,940 from civil servants, and 1,779 from university students, totaling 6,226 valid responses.
A recurring finding across different groups is that "emotions drive actions," with "self-efficacy" strongly correlated with behavior. Individuals who believe they are capable of effectively reducing carbon emissions, whose work or expertise contributes to climate change mitigation, and who recognize the benefits of climate action are more likely to actively engage in climate-related activities.
The study revealed gaps in Taiwan’s talent development for the net-zero transition, disparities between academic training and workforce needs in higher education, and cognitive gaps among civil servants regarding mitigation and adaptation strategies. Additionally, a declining sense of personal urgency about the climate crisis was observed among university students and civil servants.
Overall, the survey underscores the importance and urgency of enhancing climate adaptation efforts. This research also developed an online interactive climate literacy platform, envisioned as a powerful tool for promoting climate change-related activities.
