An Examination of Taiwan's Policies in Responding to Climate Change
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
This study explores Taiwan's climate strategies, highlighting both their strengths and areas for improvement. Initially, the paper provides an overview of Taiwan's current climate situation, establishing a baseline for understanding the existing policy landscape. It then critically evaluates the country's efforts concerning carbon emissions reduction, energy efficiency, and broader carbon-reduction initiatives implemented in recent years. The challenges encountered during the implementation of these strategies are thoroughly examined, leading to practical recommendations aimed at enhancing Taiwan's resilience to climate-related challenges. Key recommendations include improving policy coherence, enhancing risk mitigation strategies, increasing community involvement, refining oversight mechanisms, and supporting industrial evolution. This research seeks to guide future climate-focused policymaking in Taiwan by offering a comprehensive analysis and proposing innovative policy directions
