It was an impressive year, with 308 cities reporting on their climate change data (six times more than the number that was reported in the survey’s first year of 2011), making this the largest and most comprehensive survey of cities and climate change published to date by CDP. City governments from Helsinki to Canberra to La Paz participated, including over 90% of the membership of the C40 – a group of the world’s largest cities dedicated to climate change leadership. Approximately half of reporting cities measure city-wide emissions. Together, these cities account for 1.67 billion tonnes CO2e, putting them on par with Japan and UK emissions combined. 60% of all reporting cities now have completed a climate change risk assessment. And cities reported over 3,000 individual actions designed to reduce emissions and adapt to a changing climate. CDP, C40 and AECOM salute the hard work and dedication of the world’s city governments in measuring and reporting these important pieces of data. With this report, we provide city governments the information and insights that we hope will assist their work in tackling climate change.

  • Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the Perspective of Cultural Imagination
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Analysis of the spatiotemporal transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the perspective of cultural imagination C.-Y. Chang Ministry of the Interior, Architecture and Building Institute, Taiwan, ROC Abstract The timeline of transformation of Fort San Domingo shows that between the 1630s and 1860s it was used as a military defense; from the 1860s–1970s as a foreign consulate and then from the 1980s–2010s as a historical site. We can see different and contradictory explanations of the cultural imagination of remembrance, exoticism and the symbolism of anti-imperialism from the historical context of this military building. Keywords: spatiotemporal transformation, Fort San Domingo, Tamsui, cultural imagination. 1 Introduction Fort San Domingo is rather young compared to forts built in Europe, yet it has a different historical meaning for this island located in Eastern Asia. Fort San Domingo (聖多明哥城) was one of the earliest Grade I heritage sites first appointed under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act in 1982. It is the most well preserved fortress that can be dated back to the golden age of expeditions made by the Dutch East India Company during the colonial era. Moreover, Fort San Domingo is also the first heritage that has been transformed into a modern museum. Named the Tamsui Historical Museum of New Taipei City, the fort and its surrounding historical buildings were listed as a Potential World Heritage Site in Taiwan by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

Collaboration between architects and engineers satisfied demands of esthetics, real estate economics, construction, occupant comfort in mild-to-moderate winds, and structural safety in typhoons and earthquakes. Its architectural design, eight eight-story modules standing atop a tapering base, evokes indigenous jointed bamboo and tiered pagodas. Building shape refinements from wind tunnel studies dramatically reduced accelerations and overturning forces from vortex shedding. The structural framing system of braced core and multiple outriggers accommodates numerous building setbacks.

  • Climate Change Law in the Asia Pacific
    CLIMATE CHANGE LAW IN THE ASIA PACIFIC WORKING PAPER Disaster Risk Management System and the Role of Insurance in the Climate Change Era—the Perspective of Taiwan Chun-Yuan Lin DECEMBER 2019 VOL. 1, NO. AP-20190003 Disaster Risk Management System and the Role of Insurance in the Climate Change Era—the Perspective of Taiwan Chun-Yuan Lin1 Introduction Climate change brings about more devastating environmental consequences and impacts human rights severely. How to eliminate damages from climate-related disasters is crucial for adaptation. Taiwan prescribed Disaster Prevention and Response Act (DPRA) in 2000 and amended it several times. To what extent the disaster risk management mechanism established under DPRA fulfills the need of Taiwan? What are the problems and whether it may facilitate Taiwan to cope with the challenges of climate change? These are questions remained unanswered. This paper inquiries into these questions with an eye to provide practical suggestion for policy-makers. This paper first examines the development of Taiwan's disaster risk management system, arguing that the system has evolved with a history of disasters and the development of democratization. This article then takes the experience of 2009 Morakot Typhoon as a case to see the merits and problems in reality. The third part attempts to integrate climate change adaptation to disaster risk management system and examines the DPRA mechanism from the perspective of climate change adaptation. The fourth part of the article reviews the development of disaster-related insurance and proposes catastrophe insurance for Taiwan. Taiwan and its Disaster Risk Management System Climate Change in Taiwan As a small island with high mountains and short rivers, Taiwan’s geographical environment is highly sensitive.

The southwest coast is known as the area most vulnerable to climate change; therefore, this study aims to develop indicators to assess social vulnerability in this area of Taiwan using the three dimensions of susceptibility, resistance, and resilience.
