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.

The Glacier Point Road opens tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9 am! Keep in mind that trails in the Glacier Point area are still snowy. #FindYourPark #Yosemite #NationalPark Yosemite National Park(@yosemitenps)張貼的相片 於 2016 年 4月 月 18 3:57下午 PDT 張貼
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。
2024年,全球平均氣溫首度超過工業化前水準1.5°C目標,敲響了氣候危機的警鐘。兩篇最新發表的研究指出,儘管突破這個「危險臨界點」值得警戒,但這絕非終點,而是重新審視氣候行動方向的起點。
海洋覆蓋了地球七成面積,全球1/3的人仰賴海洋維生,但氣候變遷、海洋污染等多重威脅,正讓海洋陷入前所未有的危機。據估計,全球六成的海洋生態系統已遭到破壞、退化且難以復原,到2100年,甚至有過半的海洋物種將面臨滅絕風險。
氣候變遷下,如何讓建築、城市變得更節能、更環保,甚至具備調適和抵禦氣候變遷的能力?數位孿生或許是個解方,這項技術能為實體建築、甚至整個城市創建可同步的虛擬分身,即時呈現溫度、能耗與碳排等數據並自動優化,幫助建築更節能、都市更宜居,甚至提前預測災害風險,協助救援。
