Photo by @edkashi @viiphoto Workers load recently cut sugarcane onto a truck near the town of Viejo in Chinandega, Nicaragua on Jan. 6, 2015. Climate change is making the lives of sugarcane workers in Central America more perilous as temperatures rise and droughts increase. Over 20,000 men and women who worked in the cane fields have died from Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu) in the past 10 years alone. Dehydration and severe heat exposure are believed to be the leading causes of CKDu, so the changing climate has the potential to make any already-bad situation worse. This is a perfect example of how the world’s most vulnerable people are also the most exposed to the effects of climate change. #climatchange #everydayclimatechange #climatechangeisreal #climate #globalwarming National Geographic(@natgeo)張貼的相片 於 2016 年 5月 月 22 10:43上午 PDT 張貼
Photo by @BrianSkerry. A curious Whitecoat Harp Seal pup playfully rolls over in Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence. No more than 12 days old, the pup will soon embark on his first swim in the frigid waters of the Arctic. Harp seals are very social, and noisy, animals, often forming large colonies on the frozen tundra of Canada, while spending the majority of their time beneath the surface. Though these seals are hunted commercially for their fur, the loss of sea ice due to climate change is having an even more dramatic impact on this species.

Photo by James Whitlow Delano @jameswhitlowdelano for @everydayclimatechange Looking out, through the smog, across the Forbidden City from Jingshan. The Air Quality Index (AQI) for this day for PM 2.5 for particulate matter was 188. AQI's have exceeded 500 recently, and the government issued firor the second time in history a smog red alert this week, for climate change-inducing greenhouse gases. Last year the central government gave a directive to Hebei Province, which wraps around Beijing like a collar, to close selected factories that employ coal-fired blast furnaces and to consolidate steel operations in an effort to improve air quality in the capital city area. Apparently, the desired effect is still aspirational. A 2013 Bloomberg article said that people in northern China may die five years earlier the expect because of diseases caused by air pollution because of the use of coal for winter heating of homes. #climatechange #globalwarming #china #coal #smog #airpollution #greenhousegases #health #Beijing Everyday Climate Change(@everydayclimatechange)張貼的相片 於 2015 年 12月 月 21 8:30上午 PST 張貼

碩士班時研究國際政治與民眾參與,平時關心生態環境與文化資產,經常撰寫國內外環境議題專文。2007年起追蹤氣候變遷與能源議題,並經營NGO對抗暖化行動資訊網。前台達電子文教基金會氣候與能源專員,現任職於工研院。
北極正快速升溫,降水重組、海冰消退、生態南移與河流鏽化皆顯示整體生態系統加速轉變。這些變化將透過氣候與洋流連動影響全球,使極圈成為全球需共同面對的氣候前線。
聯合國氣候變化綱要公約第30次締約方會議(COP30)主席柯利亞(André Aranha Correa do Lago)會於「主席的第八封信」(Eighth Letter from the Presidency)中表示:「我們能否透過加強國際合作來實施《公約》和《巴黎協定》中的調適條款,將決定我們不僅能否生存,更能進化成為人類最好的版本——一個植根於尊嚴、正義與團結的版本。此敘述反映全球對COP30調適取得進展的期待。然而,要將如此宏大的願景付諸實踐,首先必須回答根本問題:調適進展該要如何衡量?該系列文章從制度演進與台灣實務影響,深度解析全球調適目標。
極端降雨與高溫重創全球主要可可豆產區,產量下滑、價格飆升,巧克力恐從日常甜點走向奢侈品。面對氣候與供應鏈的雙重壓力,。科學家轉向耐旱的角豆,期待透過酵素技術,讓角豆風味更接近巧克力,提升食品系統的未來韌性。
