By April, nearly 3 million people globally have been infected with COVID-19 and almost 200,000 people have died. However, while Taiwan was one of first countries to be exposed to the pandemic and was even predicted to be one of the countries to be worst-hit, Taiwan has to date managed to keep the number of confirmed cases to less than 450. We decided to use the Risk Governance Framework developed by the International Risk Governance Council (IRGC) to assess how Taiwan has managed to suppress the growth of COVID-19 within its borders, and to look at some of the ways Taiwan had been successful. The framework comprises four main aspects: pre-assessment, appraisal, characterization and evaluation, and management.
Key Point:
(1) Pre-assessment includes identifying the risks and opportunities early on, as well as being cognizant of the warning signs with immediacy, so as to be able to take action in a timely manner.
(2) An appraisal of the risks involve identifying the hazard and conducting concern assessment to understand the social concerns, so as to develop relevant options to manage the risks and address the possible socio-economic impacts.
(3) A characterization and evaluation of the risks involve assessing the seriousness of the risks, and developing corresponding risk reduction measures according to an evaluation of the tolerability of the risk and acceptability of the measures.
(4) Management of the risks entail identifying various scenarios to manage the risks, and monitoring the development of the risk so as to adjust the options to for risk governance accordingly accordingly.
However, during crisis and risk management, many of these aspects become interoperable, and would even need to work in tandem with one another, as the uncertainty, complexity and rapid changes of the COVID-19 pandemic requires fast-footed responses to deal with the crisis.
In this podcast, we explore how Taiwan has thus far managed to contain the spread of the COVID-19, by using specific examples to illustrate the various elements under the Risk Governance Framework.

由於疫情影響,第一階段溫室氣體管制目標,將有望達到2020年與基準年2005年相比,減碳2%的目標。但不能因疫情影響達標而滿足,目前氣候治理相關法律授權與編制皆有資源不足的現象,應盡早修補溫管法缺口,強化各部會權責。第一階段目標將在今年到期,環保署將會擬定第二階段目標,並以強化相關管制、增加減碳經濟誘因、確立政府部門權責、提出氣候調適專章等四大面相作為主軸,預計下半可送至行政院進行核定。

1.政府應納入系統風險的處理思維來面對新冠肺炎的衝擊。
2.第二階段的溫室氣體管制目標將在年底問世!
3.居家防疫同時,也不能忽略隱藏的健康殺手—空氣污染。

EP14 歐盟氣候法草案出爐
2020年3月6日,歐盟執委會正式提出「歐盟氣候法」草案版本,讓2050年氣候中和目標,於歐盟大陸上每一個會員國內落境。本次克萊美特除了要分享歐盟氣候法的重要內容外,也將帶hommies聽聽相關批評,其中最大的質疑是各界要求歐盟2030年減量目標,即減量1990年排放標準之50%~55%,應盡速迫降!!!歐盟表示將有待更審慎的評估。

"COP25的結果,我雖感到失望,但我們不能放棄,我也不會放棄。我將更堅定的促使 2020年成為全球共同承諾守住1.5°C的一年。"
─ António Guterres
馬德里 COP25 時,AntónioGuterres 表示:「我們僅剩最後的5分鐘就要進入全球氣候緊急狀態的午夜。2020年前全球碳排放必須停止增幅,並且以每年7.6%的降幅前進2030年,才能於可能的現實下達成《巴黎協定》的目標。儘管目前已經延宕太多,但仍有許多希望可以讓我們相信將贏得這場氣候戰役,未來的12個月將是關鍵─2020年前將須採取10大優先氣候行動。
