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。
由於建築面積及空間冷卻需求增長,建築產業每年增加約1%的能源使用量,2022年建築營運過程所需的能源佔了三成的最終能源需求,主要用於供暖及製冷上,若包含建材生產所耗費的能源,會再增加4%的能源需求。
為了因應氣候危機,歐洲各地的古蹟開始裝上太陽能板,引發了文物保存和氣候行動之間的衝突。義大利著名的龐貝古城裝上了「隱形太陽能板」(invisible solar panels),將太陽能板融入在古城之中,試圖找到新與舊共存的可能。
氣候變遷下,極端氣候影響加劇,許多地區開始著重於「減緩」(mitigation)與「調適」(adaptation)。然而,有些為了強化地區韌性的基礎設施方案,非但沒有減緩災害影響的作用,反而因為急就章、設計草率或錯誤,而造成「錯誤調適」(maladaptation)的問題。
