| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 氣候變遷與永續發展國際學位學程 === 107 === After the industrial revolution, human''s economic development is growing with a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The human influence on climate change cause different kinds of climate risks increasing, and here come much more challenges about sustainable development than ever, while various extreme weather events are happening. Therefore, climate adaptation makes people to prepare as enough as possible for the impact of climate change and to reduce the risk to sustainable development. It also emphasized the importance of climate change and sustainable development issues to human, and people have to accelerate the climate actions in The Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda in 2015.
However, it needs complete accessing progress tp know the interaction between the factors of issues to make sure the relationship of decision-making. Thereby, this study provides an integrated decision-making framework, AdaptSDGs, for climate adaptation and 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from 2030 Agenda. Moreover, AdaptSDGs aims to develop the accessing methods and tools for interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, diversified adaptation plans with its national conditions to ensure the adaptation plans would not lead to deviation from sustainable development.AdaptSDGs includes four climate adaptation accessing steps with the approach of SDGs (identifying problems and goals, assessing current climate risk, assessing future climate risk, identifying adaptation options) and a tool kit with four supporting tools (climate risk templates, research method tree, key targets interaction system, and risk factor interaction system) to build up systematic scientific analysis methods and processes for the scientific supports on the decision-making of climate adaptation and SDGs.
This study takes Water supply and demand balance, the critical issue of SDG 6 in Taiwan to demonstrate how to do climate adaptation assessments with AdaptSDGs — deconstructing climate risk factors of the critical issue with climate risk template; research method tree guides to research the interaction of SDG 6 in Taiwan by "expert questionnaire"; the result of export questionnaire is used to build up the Key Targets Interaction System (KTIS) with system dynamic tool, Vensim; Key Targets Interaction System (KTIS) helps to set up to address the trade-offs and synergies between SDG targets so as to reduce the conflicts between SDG targets from climate adaptation plans and to increase the benefits of climate adaptation to sustainable development; risk Factor Interaction System (RFIS) aims to assess the impact of climate risk on the performance of SDGs of critical issues, thereby adding climate change factors to the 2030 target of national SDGs to ensure the rationality of target setting with Vensim.
Assessing the compliance of the Taiwan''s regional water resources adaptation program with key sub-targets "6.4: Improving water efficiency, ensuring sustainable access and supply of fresh water", "6.1: Universal access to safe drinking water", "6.2: Appropriate for everyone and Fair sanitary conditions", "6.5: Integrated water resources management at all levels", "6.b: Support and strengthen local community participation in improving water and sanitation management", "1.a: Providing sufficient capacity for developing countries "Executing related plans and policies for all poverty", "11.1: Access to affordable housing and basic services for all" has a significant positive impact, but results in "8.2: Developing high value-added and labor-intensive industries To promote the negative development of economic productivity.
This study proposes AdaptSDGs as a decision-making integration framework for climate adaptation and sustainable development goals. Although there are some unsatisfactory tools in the construction of the tool, after the case study, we can grasp the improvement, and hope for continuous improvement in the future to help complete the climate — scientific analysis of adaptation and SDGs decision making.
