As of November 30, 2024, the overall achievement rate for the Hsinchu County Climate Change Mitigation and Low-Carbon Sustainable Homeland Plan was 100%.
The plan aims to strengthen Hsinchu County's climate change mitigation system, promote low-carbon sustainable homeland certification, regulate and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and advance green energy rooftop initiatives. The implementation outcomes are summarized as follows:
The Hsinchu County Climate Change Task Force is responsible for GHG reduction and climate change adaptation efforts. This year, two task force meetings were held to clarify responsibilities among agencies. The "Hsinchu County Phase II GHG Reduction Implementation Report (2023)" and the "Hsinchu County Climate Change Adaptation Implementation Plan (2024–2026)" were approved. Following solar photovoltaic site assessments, division of responsibilities was completed for installing solar panels on public buildings across 10 government agencies. The team also summarized the Phase II GHG Reduction Implementation results to assess current progress and challenges, laying a solid foundation for drafting the Phase III GHG Reduction Implementation Plan in 2024.
To enhance climate change knowledge within the education system, four seed teacher workshops were held, featuring distinguished lecturers who shared insights on climate change curriculum design. A total of 206 educators participated, with a satisfaction rate of 97%. Additionally, four climate change awareness activities were conducted for students, covering topics such as plastic reduction, energy saving, wetlands, and marine conservation, engaging 173 students with a satisfaction rate of 96%.
One low-carbon community observation activity was organized, with 39 participants visiting Dengong Village in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, for experience exchange, achieving a satisfaction rate of 97%. Furthermore, in collaboration with Xincheng Community in Baoshan Township, a low-carbon sustainable homeland education event was conducted, showcasing the integration of local features to build a low-carbon community, with 52 participants and a satisfaction rate of 98%.
To ensure accurate reporting of GHG emissions and assist unregulated businesses in understanding their GHG emissions, four GHG inventory briefings and four reduction workshops were held. Topics included inventory essentials, reporting platform operations, voluntary reduction programs, and case studies, with 351 participants and an average satisfaction rate of 96%.
The team verified 54 businesses required to report GHG emissions and submitted the list to the Climate Change Administration. On-site inspections were conducted for 31 businesses, with 11 requiring revisions to reports or calculations. The target of inspecting at least 30 businesses was achieved, with the remainder undergoing document reviews. Additionally, a GHG inventory was compiled for 2023 to analyze emission trends and identify contributing factors, culminating in the “2023 Hsinchu County GHG Inventory Report.”
The team completed on-site inspections and guidance for 20 villages/communities through data consolidation, expert consultations, and field visits. Additionally, four bronze- and silver-certified villages underwent certification maintenance checks, all meeting standards and retaining their ratings. The team assisted 45 villages in participating in the low-carbon sustainable homeland program, resulting in one silver certification and eight bronze certifications. To expand awareness, a Low-Carbon Sustainable Homeland Handbook was designed and produced for public distribution.
Green Energy Promotion:
Hsinchu County actively promotes the installation of solar photovoltaic systems on public and private rooftops. Twelve evaluations covering 36 sites were conducted, resulting in 25 sites expressing willingness or requiring further assessments. The total installation capacity ranged between 8.9 and 336.4 kWp, averaging 92.7 kWp, with an estimated annual GHG reduction of 1,614.4 metric tons of CO₂e. To further advocate for green energy rooftops, a site visit to Rixin Elementary School and Soochow University in Taipei City was organized, with 46 participants and a satisfaction rate of 98%.
A “Low-Carbon Sustainable Homeland Citizen Café” was held, with 42 participants, including bronze-certified village representatives and experts, proposing nine low-carbon improvement solutions. The four top-scoring solutions received subsidies totaling NT$188,000. For non-participating units, six low-carbon action plans were developed in collaboration with schools and community associations, with total subsidies amounting to NT$460,000. All projects were completed and accepted by August–September 2024.
This comprehensive plan continues to advance Hsinchu County's climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, strengthening local capacity for building a sustainable, low-carbon future.
