Under climate change, society needs more comprehensive scientific studies to support various actions to mitigate warming and adapt to climate. Hence, the Delta Electronics Foundation collaborates with academic and research institutions to conduct in-depth research to track the latest climate change issues and trends.
Since 2007, the Foundation has participated in various research projects, and the topics range from green building and energy policies to electric vehicles. The researchers and scholars involved in these projects come from renowned climate research institutions, including the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), and Risk Society and Policy Research Center, forming a robust network to provide objective data and evaluation to support climate policy-making.
In 2022, given the increasingly ambitious pledges from the private sector, the Foundation cooperated with Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER) and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), producing a study to guide companies to implement the internal carbon pricing (ICP) system. The report not merely features explicit explanations for every ICP mechanism but also includes multiple case studies to make each more understandable. Through this research project, the Foundation hopes to engage more enterprises interested in implementing ICP systems and thus expand the influence of the private sector to respond to the threat of climate change.
