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。
自倫敦「超低碳排放區」政策擴大以來,反對聲浪不斷,不僅「刀鋒戰士」破壞監視器的抗議舉動頻傳,更成為去年倫敦市長選戰焦點。儘管反對聲浪不斷,但市政府提出的數據顯示空污改善效果有成,當初反對政策的區域,反而成了空氣變乾淨的最大贏家。
澳洲每年丟掉760萬噸食物,同時卻有400萬戶家庭食不果腹。為此,澳洲政府計劃推出「食品捐贈減稅優惠」。政府試圖透過減稅,鼓勵食品製造商和農民把食物捐出去,而不是直接丟掉。
隨著台灣的夏季越發炎熱,孕婦、兒童和老年人等弱勢族群正面臨高溫帶來的健康危機。科學家正在加緊研究高溫對脆弱族群的影響,並尋找有效的防範措施。
