When will the Climate Clock be released?

Do you remember that at the end of last year, Environmental Protection Agency Director Chang Tzu-ching mentioned in a serious tone at a press conference that Taiwan is facing severe challenges from climate change? At that time, many people might have just glanced at the news headlines and put them out of their minds. But as a market consultant who has long been concerned about Taiwan's sustainable development, I deeply feel that this is not an exaggeration. I have been involved in ESG of many companiesStrategyplanning, and witnessed the impact of extreme climate events on the industrial chain. For example, Typhoon Sula in 2021 severely hit agriculture in the south, causingProductPrices soared and many farmers suffered heavy losses. These personal experiences have made me more firmly believe thatpositiveThere is no time to lose in addressing climate change.

The launch of the Climate Clock sounded the alarm for Taiwan at this critical moment. It is not just a timer, but also integrates中央氣象局,National Disaster Prevention and Relief Technology CenterAndEnvironmental Protection AgencyOther institutionsdata, presenting the climate risks facing Taiwan in a more intuitive and concrete way. This means that we are no longer just passively accepting the impacts of climate change, but candata analysis.predictionpotential risks and formulate response strategies as early as possible. Imagine if we could predict the frequency and intensity of extreme heat waves in the next decade, we could plan energy more effectively.policy, reducing social经济loss.

Many people are curious about when the climate clock will officially go online. According to the information I have, the relevant units are currently actively carrying out data integration and system testing, striving to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. It takes time, but it's definitely worth the wait. After all, an accurate and reliable climate clock will become an important reference for governments, businesses and the public to formulate climate action strategies. We can expect it to contain the following information:

• Taiwan’s carbon emissions and carbon reduction progress
• Prediction of frequency and intensity of extreme climate events
• Taiwan Sea Level Rise Forecast
• Carbon footprint of various industriesdata

The advent of the climate clock is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a manifestation of the rise of social awareness in Taiwan. It reminds us that everyone should actively participate in climate action, starting with ourselves, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting sustainable businesses and policies. I believe that through the joint efforts of the government, businesses, and the public, we will be able to overcome the challenges of climate change and create a better future for Taiwan. This is not only the responsibility of the government, but also the responsibility of each of us. Let us look forward to the official launch of the climate clock andpositiveTake action to combat climate change.

Remember the shock you felt when you first saw the climate clock? The numbers on the countdown timer kept jumping, as if silently accusing us of neglecting the environment. As a local who has worked as a marketing consultant in Taiwan for many years and has long been concerned about sustainable development issues, I deeply feel that climate change is no longer a distant threat, but a reality that is happening and directly affecting our lives. I have been involved in ESG for many companies.StrategyWe have witnessed with our own eyes that many companies have begun to actively participate in carbon reduction actions, but the speed is still far from enough. Taiwan is surrounded by the sea, has a small land area and a dense population, and is more vulnerable to extreme climate than other countries, which makes the warning of the climate clock more urgent.

The launch of the climate clock is not just a display of technology, but also a serious warning to the world, including Taiwan. According to the Environmental Protection Administration, Taiwan's carbon emissions have been rising year by year, mainly from the energy, industry and transportation sectors. Data from the Central Weather Bureau shows that the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events in Taiwan have increased in recent years.trend, for example: more frequent and stronger typhoons, more severe alternation of droughts and floods, and the threat of rising sea levels. These data confirm the crisis presented by the climate clock and highlight the urgent need for Taiwan to reduce carbon emissions.pressure. We must face these facts and take action.

So, what can we do? First, morepositiveGround pushrenewable energydevelopment, for example:solar energyand wind power to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Secondly, improve energy efficiency, from building design toTransportationIn transportation, we should focus on energy conservation and carbon reduction. In addition, more importantly, it requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and the public to build a sustainable developmentsociety. This requires:

• government:Formulate stricter environmental regulations and provide more incentives to encourage businesses and the public to participate in carbon reduction.
• enterprise:Actively invest in green technology research and development and incorporate ESG into corporatecoreStrategy.
• people:Start with daily life, for example: reducing carbon footprint and supporting sustainable products.

The countdown of the climate clock is not just the ticking of numbers, but also a reminder of our actions.powertest. It reminds us that time waits for no one, and we must act now to create a more sustainable future for Taiwan and for the next generation. Only through the joint efforts of the whole society can we reverse the trend of climate change and slow down or even stop the countdown of the climate clock. Let us work together to contribute to Taiwan’s sustainable future.
