What a happy scene; what a beautiful, peaceful world.<\/p><p>But the beauty and peace of the world cannot be taken for granted. How long can it last?<\/p><p>In fact, the world is more fragile than we might imagine. Take Taiwan for example. The island has suffered a severe storm-induced disaster every three years on average since 2000. Rainfall is uneven. Extreme warm and cold weather events have become even more pronounced.<\/p><p>At the same time, the global mean temperature has been hitting new highs. According to a report issued by the United Nations\u2019 World Meteorological Organization in May 2022, the past seven years have been the warmest seven years on record. The report also pointed out that four key climate change indicators\u2014greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, ocean heat, and ocean acidification\u2014all set new records in 2021. The melting of polar and glacial ice is causing sea levels to rise.

Faced with the climate crisis, nearly 200 countries attending the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (also known as the COP26), signed the Glasgow Climate Pact at the annual climate summit held in Glasgow, Scotland. All participating countries agreed to adhere to the 2015 Paris Agreement and pursue efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. More than 130 countries pledged to reach net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p><p>Human activities emit greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide and methane. These gases cause global warming by trapping the sun\u2019s heat in the atmosphere. Net zero refers to a state in which greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere are balanced by an equivalent amount absorbed or removed from the atmosphere. Carbon emissions can be captured by natural means\u2014trees being the classic example\u2014or through artificial interventions, such as carbon capture technologies.<\/p><p>Currently, 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide are being released globally into the atmosphere per year. With these quantities going into the air, achieving net zero emissions is a tough challenge. However, if we fail to take major action to reduce emissions, the global temperature is on track to rise by about 3.2 degrees Celsius by 2100, resulting in disastrous consequences. \u201cIt\u2019s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5\u00b0C [2.7\u00b0F],\u201d said Jim Skea, the co-chair of Working Group III of the United Nations\u2019 Intergov\u00adernmental Panel on Climate Change. \u201cWithout immediate and deep emission reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.\u201d<\/p><p>If we compare the Earth to a damaged ship in need of major repairs, cutting emissions is the most urgent task if we want to prevent it from sinking any further, if we want to ensure that humanity has a future.<\/p><p>The first order of business in cutting emissions to zero is to reduce our dependence on coal, oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels. It\u2019s also essential to transition to a circular economy. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, \u201cA circular economy reduces material use, redesigns materials to be less resource intensive, and recaptures \u2018waste\u2019 as a resource to manufacture new materials and products.\u201d Only when governments, industries, and individuals work together to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions will it be possible to balance economic development and environmental sustainability.<\/p><p>Even though it is difficult for our world to eliminate completely its dependence on fossil fuels, the governments of many nations and international or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have taken influential action to address the climate change issue. For examples, countries in the European Union reached an agreement in March this year on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CMAB) regulation, planning to levy a world-first carbon dioxide emissions tariff on the importation of polluting goods, starting in 2026. Put simply, importers will be required to purchase CBAM certificates corresponding to the embedded emissions in their imported goods. This measure essentially reduces the competitiveness of carbon-intensive goods in the European Union.<\/p><p>The financial sector has also joined in efforts to address climate change. Banks and investors, for example, are pledging to shift their funding in ways that help reduce carbon emissions. In Taiwan, the Financial Supervisory Commission under the Ministry of Finance issued in March this year a road map of sustainable development for Taiwan\u2019s listed corporations. The plan requires all listed companies to disclose their greenhouse gas inventories by 2027 and to verify such inventories by 2029. This is an effort towards energy saving and carbon reduction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-580f0de elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"580f0de\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-18a3ad95\" data-id=\"18a3ad95\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6642c4f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6642c4f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"958\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/20131117\u81fa\u5357\u56db\u8349\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50\u5e2b\u59ca-\u9ec3\u7b71\u54f2105-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-585b692 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"585b692\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tzu Chi volunteer Huang Ju-zi (\u9ec3\u83ca\u5b50) picks up trash washed up on a beach in Tainan, southern Taiwan, her bag filling quickly.

Bill Gates summarized the reason for this shift in his book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: \u201cThe countries that build great zero-carbon companies and industries will be the ones that lead the global economy in the coming decades.\u201d Taiwan, with its high reliance on exports, is among the economies that must step up their carbon reduction efforts. Companies that fail to measure up to international environmental standards risk failing in the open market, further impacting a country\u2019s overall economic competitiveness.<\/p><p>It\u2019s not just the manufacturing industry that faces the challenge of carbon neutrality\u2014the same goes for the transportation sector.<\/p><p>Tzu Chi volunteer Denghsien Yeh (\u8449\u71c8\u61b2) is in charge of fleet management at an airline company. He said he and others in his company are working to reduce the weight of aircraft and increase the efficiency of engines to optimize transportation efficiency. \u201cIn the future, all flights heading to Europe have to meet EU\u2019s environmental protection demands,\u201d Yeh said. He opened his company\u2019s sustainability report, which includes a comprehensive list of the airline\u2019s energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures. Their actions run the gamut from retiring gas-guzzling older aircraft to going digital as much as possible to cut the usage and waste of paper.<\/p><p>As a result of the international community\u2019s consensus to promote a transformation to carbon neutrality, the survival and development of enterprises, nations, and societies is now inextricably linked to their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. However, in Taiwan, more than 80 percent of power still comes from burning fossil fuels. This accounts for more than 170 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year. Power that comes from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, comes to less than seven percent.<\/p><p>Since most businesses on the island still rely on traditional energy sources with a high carbon footprint, their transition to net zero emissions will be a tougher challenge. This further puts them at a disadvantage with their competitors on the international market.<\/p><p>In order to keep up with the international competition and push the transition to a net zero future, Taiwan\u2019s National Development Council (NDC) in March 2022 presented a road map for Taiwan to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, along with an explanation of an overall strategy. The NDC said that working on climate legislation and technology R&amp;D, and through a combination of renewable energy, power saving, resource recycling, and green living tactics, the government will advance a broad transition across Taiwan\u2019s energy sector, industry, lifestyle, and society to allow the island to become a net zero green economy before 2050.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

responsibility or a strategy to remain economically viable, many company owners and managers have worked to broaden their knowledge of environmental protection. They\u2019ve enlisted the help of experts to take greenhouse gas inventories of their companies and plan courses of action to move their companies in the right direction. They have similarly asked their supply chains to take action.<\/p><p>Compared to the strict demands placed on the manufacturing and transportation sectors, the international community has not yet required non-profit charitable organizations, hospitals, or schools to achieve net zero emissions. Even so, Tzu Chi, one of the largest NGOs in Taiwan, has announced its goal to reach net zero carbon emissions. This is a natural continuation of the foundation\u2019s environmental efforts, its care for the Earth, and a strong sense of commitment to bring about a better world. Tzu Chi\u2019s leadership in this area was initiated more than three decades ago, when Dharma Master Cheng Yen called on everyone to recycle.<\/p><p>Tzu Chi\u2019s hospitals and schools have been designed using green architecture approaches. Buildings were planned to optimize ventilation and reduce exposure to sunlight to cut down on the use of electricity, and rainwater recycling systems were installed to conserve water resources. Environmental education has made Tzu Chi volunteers particularly eco-conscious. They not only endeavor to reduce their own carbon footprint, but also to spread the word on the importance of environmental preservation.<\/p><p>Tzu Chi\u2019s environmental efforts over the last 30 years have won recognition from the Taiwanese government and the international community. Both Tzu Chi Dalin Hospital and the Tzu Chi University of Science and Technology received a National Environmental Education Award in 2013 for their efforts in promoting environmentalism. The Tzu Chi Foundation, Tzu Chi Senior High School, and Jer Lin Chen (\u9673\u54f2\u9716), a Tzu Chi environmental education lecturer, were recognized with the same award this year.<\/p><p>Before Taiwan\u2019s government announced its determination to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, Tzu Chi had already laid a recognizable foundation for Taiwan\u2019s society to advance in that direction. The foundation announced in 2021 its goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Its plan to attain that goal consists of taking a greenhouse gas inventory of the foundation, analyzing current emission levels, and then formulating and taking actions to offset those emissions. When the inventory statistics are out, specific goals will be set for 2030, 2040, and then 2050 to gradually reach the holy grail of net zero.<\/p><p>Jer Lin Chen, a National Environmental Education Award winner this year, advises everyone, whether they work for the government or a private enterprise, not to view the mission to achieve carbon neutrality as yet another arduous task to tackle, but instead set their sights on the future. When they take the long view, they will better understand the value of their efforts. \u201cIs the purpose of net zero emissions to save the Earth or human beings?\u201d Chen explained. \u201cIt\u2019s humanity who is seeking sustainability. If we work to reduce emissions with our children and grandchildren in mind, we\u2019ll meet the challenge a lot more willingly.\u201d<\/p><p>Tzi-Chin Chang (\u5f35\u5b50\u656c), who heads Taiwan\u2019s Environmental Protection Administration, stresses the importance of starting with oneself when it comes to responding to climate change. \u201cHow can we achieve net zero emissions by 2050?\u201d he asked. \u201cOne important item is behavioral change. Our careless behavior has resulted in the generation of a lot of carbon dioxide emissions or the waste of many resources. That\u2019s why in our country\u2019s road map to net zero, there is an approach called \u2018green living.\u2019 If we all work together, we\u2019ll achieve very good results.\u201d<\/p><p>A carbon reduction road map released by the United Nations in April this year also pointed out how behavioral and lifestyle changes can quickly reduce end users\u2019 yearly greenhouse gas emissions by at least five percent globally. In other words, everyone can contribute to carbon neutrality by adjusting their lifestyles. Examples include adopting a vegetarian diet, preventing food waste, avoiding excessive consumerism, reducing the use of air-conditioning and heating, buying durable and reparable products, and using car-sharing services.<\/p><p>Human beings have inflicted much damage to the environment, and climate change and global warming are becoming worse. And yet, if individuals, enterprises, governments, and nations across the world are all willing to do what they can to reverse the trend, the world\u2019s future might not be as bleak as climate experts have predicted.<\/p><p>Just as Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said, \u201cMeaningfully reducing carbon emissions will take big, bold moves and small, meaningful changes.\u201d On the large scale, it can involve an entire nation; on a smaller scale, an individual. Whether it is systematic, across-the-board transformation at the national level, or small, personal changes, such as avoiding one-use items, all of us play a part in determining our future. The power of change is in our hands.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0f29fc5 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0f29fc5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-88a37ae\" data-id=\"88a37ae\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8f203e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f8f203e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/DSCF6729-\u54f2\u4fee.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/DSCF6729-\u54f2\u4fee.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/DSCF6729-\u54f2\u4fee-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/DSCF6729-\u54f2\u4fee-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f86c24\" data-id=\"1f86c24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8c1fa5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c8c1fa5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A mother and her two children riding a Taipei Metro train look out a window at Mount Guanyin in New Taipei City, northern Taiwan.
